Dec. 21, 2006 - Christmas Traditions - Part 4
* Sleeping under the Christmas tree! One night close to Christmas (or sometimes on Christmas night), all children that are not in a crib get out their sleeping bags and sleep by the lit Christmas tree. I put a Christmas music cd in the stereo, press repeat all, and they just drift off to dreamland. Usually, my husband and I will sit on the couch, watch them sleep and talk about them. I love watching my children that play hard sleep hard.
It has started already. Today I found a homemade gift, wrapped in white copy paper under the Christmas tree. The tag read, "To: Mary Rose; From: Aunt Carolina." Carolina is my almost 8 yr. old. Mary Rose is her 9 yr. old sister's doll. Too funny. I guess they have already started creating an extended family!

I enjoy reading about your traditions and I completely love the idea of sleeping under the tree! My almost six year old has some 'special' gifts wrapped under our tree for her four inch best friend, Belina. Belina was adopted into our family two years ago and her biological parents are the Fisher Price's!
