SHARING OUR FAMILY CHRISTMAS 2016
Happy to be sharing our family Christmas and would love to hear about some of your family traditions and activities.
A CHRISTMAS VISIT FROM THE CLAUSES
A Christmas visit from the Clauses is really a perfect, memorable event to share with your children or grandchildren.
When one of my grandsons was younger, he lived Christmas every day. When he was playing with other children, he always wanted them to play Christmas..no matter the time of the year. His birthday is in November, but when he was turning 4, my daughter decided the theme for his party would be a Santa Claus party. It developed into “A Christmas Visit from the Clauses”.

Traditions are defined as the transmission of customs or beliefs from generation to generation. Our Thanksgiving traditions are created from memories and gatherings of people sharing their blessings.
When I was growing up, I remember that my mother cooked and baked for days preparing foods for Thanksgiving. I believe that I can still feel the warmth in our home and experience the wonderful smells coming from the kitchen. One of the Thanksgiving traditions our family observed was that everyone came to our house to eat. This included grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and friends.

ANNIVERSARY TRIP TO THE GREENBRIER RESORT
My husband and I celebrated 30 years of marriage last week with an anniversary trip to the Greenbrier Resort.
The Greenbrier Resort is located in White Sulphur Springs, WV, which is only about 3 hours from our home. I had planned this trip several months ago as a surprise to my husband, but I got so excited that I told him about a month ago. Continue reading ANNIVERSARY TRIP TO THE GREENBRIER RESORT
