Hum... I'm not the best at domestic things. I usually have my tree

up by the end of November and take it down after New Year's. It's a

lot of work to put the tree up, so I want to look at it for at least

4 weeks. We open our gifts on Christmas morning (maybe one gift on

Christmas Eve). That's about it. We are usually traveling during

the Christmas holidays. My family is in Iowa and Dave's is scattered

across the USA. We are going to CA this year. Dave's mom turns 80,

two days after Christmas. I hope to meet n while I am there.

We went to Iowa for Thanksgiving. I wanted to meet Deb A. while we

were there, but time got away form me. I even spent one day at the

VA hospital in Iowa City with my father. I think that is really

close to Deb.

What a good way to get to know people! Well, we are Christian, so we celebrate

Christmas. I usually start to put up the holiday decorations the day after

Thanksgiving. We use an artificial tree (I get rashes from most real pine

trees) and I light it with about 8-10 strands of lights. We all put

decorations on. Our tree has been done for 6 days already! but I haven't

gotten anything else done yet.

We have had a Christmas eve tradition for the last 12 or 13 years with my

family. We go to my sister's house and exchange presents. these are the ones

we can open on Christmas Eve. We normally spend the next day going to my

husband's family events. It usually is his mom's in the morning and his dad's

house in the afternoon. This year we are trying something new, his step mother

wants to have us all there at the same time and since her daughter's little girl

will be with her father's family on Christmas eve and most of Christmas day, we

are going to have a family gathering there on 12/23. We will end up with 3 days

of Christmas. I hope that it will make the holiday easier and less hectic. I

also try to drag my hubby to church. Sometimes I actually get him there!

Traditions

When I meet new people I like to ask them what their holiday

traditions are, regardless of religion. Do you open presents

Christmas Eve, or morning? What does Santa bring? All of the

presents or one big special one? Do you stay home or go to

family/friends? How about for dinner? Whats traditional? We used to

do turkey and when I was young I brought up the fact that #1 I did

not like turkey and #2 wasn't it good enough that we just had turkey

last month? What about a tree? Put it up on the 24th or earlier and

when does it come down? Just curious as to how our friends in other

countries ( that includes Ohio)(heehee) celebrate!

Love to all,

not like turkey and #2 wasn't it good enough that we just had turkey

last month? What about a tree? Put it up on the 24th or earlier and

when does it come down? Just curious as to how our friends in other

Gale,

Why didn't you let me know it is not far from me at all about 15 miles. I am

in Iowa City most of the time! That is where my shop is and I am there usually

wed, Thurs,Fri and Sat. Next time you are in town let me know and we can meet

anywhere you would like. I would have loved to meet you face to face. It is

always nice to but a face to the names of people on her. Deb A
