Our new Christmas Eve traditions

This year we decided to start a couple of Christmas Eve traditions. When I was a kid, I left out milk and cookies for Santa…like most kids did. I loved waking up in the morning and running to the kitchen to see if Santa had eaten the cookies and drank the milk. He always did (of course) and he would even leave me a note. So this year on Christmas Eve, Ava and I made cookies for Santa and she put them out with a glass of milk. She had so much fun, and I loved every minute of it.

A new tradition for us is putting out reindeer food for Santa’s reindeer. Ava made reindeer food at preschool, and she and Daddy made sure to put it out so Santa and his reindeer wouldn’t miss our house.

 

I have to say, its so much fun reliving these fun traditions and seeing them for the first time through the eyes of my child. I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.
