On Christ-
mas Eve each year we have a fun tradition.
We don't put gifts under the tree until Christmas EveThen...
we take turns going to our rooms where the gifts are stashed.We gather the gifts in our arms and ring a bell until the
gifts are hidden beneath the Christmas tree. Everyone is to
close there eyes until the ringing of the bell
stops.

are for them.........

Boy - that brought lots of memories back to me...I loved that tradition! But when we got married Ed didn't and so we started others of our own. Of course it was Jeffrey Paul that created that tradition when he was 18 months old and wouldn't leave the presents under the tree alone!!!... so we kept them hidden from him. I loved how we would rush over to check out each new pile of gifts as they were placed under the tree... neat memories!!
Never heard of that tradition, but it sure sounds fun. Glad you guys had a great Christmas!
Oh, boy here I am getting blamed for a Christmas tradition-I actually had no idea that it was because of me. it does bring back some great memories though...
