It's That Time of Year

It's Holiday time.  I'm done with everything but the big meal (obviously).  I never liked the holidays much, I always felt it was over-hyped.  But now that I have kids, I see it in an entirely different light. 
The look of amazement on Grace's face when my husband put up the Christmas tree was precious. 
And even though I wasn't going to do gifts, I felt that Grace should have a few things to open, and that as long as I kept it simple, all would be well. 

As far as traditions go, my husband and I love Bing Crosby's voice, so we always play his Christmas music.   And my fond memory is  of watching the 1960's classis "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" - Can't beat the Burl Ive's soundtrack for that either!  I always felt like the misfit-dentist-Elf - and Bumble is just too adorable.   I hope Grace likes this classic as much as I do.  I already played it for her one night and she could care less about the movie.  Maybe she'll jive to some "Silver and Gold" on the soundtrack :) 

What are your favorite holiday traditions?
