We tried a new thing this year. There were bumps along the way in figuring it out, because of large families, in-laws, desires to keep traditions alive, etc. It is always hard to change, but I LOVED this day. We had a great time having yummy dinner at a beautiful table, made Gingerbread houses, did the nativity, opened cousin gifts and books and PJs from Grandma and Grandpa.
These Salt and Pepper shakers are my favorite!
We took lots of family photos as well.
