Comments on: Christmas, just another weird tradition http://www.nine-moons.com/?p=57 Tue, 21 May 2013 21:34:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: Comment Restore http://www.nine-moons.com/?p=57&cpage=1#comment-50 Comment Restore Mon, 28 Nov 2005 09:03:54 +0000 http://www.nine-moons.com/?p=57#comment-50 Thanks, Dad! I was hoping to write/see a blog on Christmas traditions -- specifically hoping to hear some favorite holiday traditions of everyone out there. As I begin to establish family traditions for my own children, I am always looking for more and better ideas. So please share! One I heard recently I'd like to try: a separate, smaller tree decorated only in things relating to Christ and the Nativity, under which family members place their gift to Jesus for the coming year in the form of a written goal scrolled up and tied in ribbon. Another fun idea: a Santa look-alike contest (using shaving cream) on Christmas Eve, followed of course by photo documentation of the winner(s). A favorite from childhood: gathering in Mom and Dad's bed on Christmas morning until everyone was together, then going downstairs to see our gifts all at the same time. Merry Christmas, everyone!

But, I guess to sum up my thoughts on tradition, I think they are good and binding, like you said, as long as we do not place tradition in front of doctrine.
