Christmas traditions have changed for me over the years. When I was little, everything revolved around church. Dad was vicar at St. John's in West Point Georgia. The church ladies made beautiful ornaments in gold and white and decorated the church. The choir worked hard to make beautiful music and it all culminated in a wonderful midnight service. When I was a little older I helped make ornaments and sang in the choir, too. I can't remember what kind of meals we ate - it was probably good!Before the kids, Larry and I often traveled for Christmas; we spent one year in Banff; another in Martinique; and of course, several with family in Texas and Ohio. We spent Sheridan's first birthday in Salzburg (stunningly gorgeous).
Nowadays, we tend to relax more than anything. Larry and I get vacation; kids are off school and we take advantage of that. We decorate the house; but in varying levels every year. We always put up one or more trees of varying sizes (I like decorations in the rooms I hang out in). We almost always put up some lights outside.
We usually have cheese fondue on Christmas Eve and champagne while opening gifts on Christmas morning.
