Today I'm going to share with you my favorite Christmas tradition.
With all the cleaning, shopping, wrapping, baking, etc. that goes on in the weeks before Christmas; and then all the travelling a few hours here and a few hours there to see all the family, like most people I end up exhausted by Christmas day. Then Christmas day itself is about crazier than any other day for us!
To recoup from the hectic pace we take the day after Christmas to do absolutely nothing! We stay in our pjs, clean up nothing, watch new movies, order take out and relax. We look forward to this day through the whole season. When things are crazy and one of us is about to snap we remind each other "the day after Christmas."
Whether before, day of, or after Christmas dedicate some time to just relax. I guarentee it's worth it!

I need a tradition like that! When we are at my mom's, or growing up for that matter, the rest of Christmas day is like that. We play games and just have fun!
I like that tradition, too. Though I'm glad to see that Bethany thought Christmases were relaxing during her growing-up days.
Christmas isn't the same when kids grow up. Sigh!
