Christmas Traditions
My family loves to participate in Christmas traditions! We start a little early and make Gingerbread houses on Thanksgiving. Each child gets their own house to decorate! After Thanksgiving, we try to get a tree as soon as possible! We like to support a certain family that has a stand behind Safeway in Hawaii Kai, but this year they weren't there so we just went to the next nearest place that had trees. We always go as a family (with my in laws) to pick it out, and we all decorate it while listening to holiday tunes. Before Christmas we have a family Christmas party, and the children have to sing before they open their presents. They hate it initially, but always get into it! On Christmas Eve, we bake cookies for Santa and leave out carrots for his reindeers. On Christmas day, usually go to Kakaako or wherever the church is giving out food, and we help to pass out food to the homeless! Or we drive around and deliver to families at beaches and parks!...
