Since this is our first 'true' Christmas together we've had many discussions and thoughts about starting family Christmas traditions. My family has a few traditions we are carrying over like Meat Fondue which we generally do on Christmas Eve. That is something we will carry on for a life time. It also has become apparent in the last few years that as our families change...so must our traditions. Last year I didn't even see my brother over Christmas since our plans did not cross paths. This year I'll see him but not his girl friend and we won't see Jason's family until the 29th...
When we started talking about where we'd be for each holiday a few months back Jason and I felt very strongly that we want to start THIS year on having our Christmas morning, at our own house, as a family. No matter the fact that we don't have kids in the family sense...but we are a family. It is our plan from here on out to have Christmas morning here, under our tree! That is not to say that we won't be visiting people or having people visit us. This year we are having my parents over on Christmas which is a big daunting as I want it to be perfect, along with the fact that it is awesome/strange at the same time to have my parents to our house...still getting used to that!
Along thing that will be "new" is visiting Jason's family on the 29th of December. That is just how Jason's work schedule works out this year...it is nice that they have been supportive of our choices and flexible in their schedule's when it comes to ours.
We feel lucky that we have such great family and friends that we get to spend this holiday season with!
