Don’t you just love the Christmas Season? I grew up in a home that did the holidays right, so I have some great memories of my childhood Christmases. We never had a lot of money, but I never knew it around the holidays! My father would make a big production about getting a real tree – fake was out of the question. Then came the day-long struggle with the string of lights that had to be untangled and hung before the rest of the tree could be touched. As the children decorated the tree with our hideous school-made decorations and tinsel,...

School is out and we are busy playing, creating memories and developing our first Christmas traditions. I grew up in a family rich in traditions, and although they are still important to me, I want to create our own as a new family. Candlefest Christmas was a big deal in my childhood home. My Mom had a gift for making holidays special. On Christmas Eve, we would all work together to create a big feast to celebrate Christmas Eve. Once we had eaten, and my Dad had gathered us all around to read us the Christmas story from the...
