I love the traditions at Christmas time. John and I each had favorites from our childhood weve carried over and we've established some of our own. Here is one of my favorites that we carried over from my childhood.

After getting our tree (sometimes fresh-cut from the mountains!) we would bring it home to decorate it. We would listen to several albums including:

A Christmas Together RECORD!
John Denver & The Muppets

Once the decorating was finished we would sing carols and drink eggnog. We've kept up this tradition in our house (ironically without the carol sing) and this year my husband stepped up the eggnog to a whole new level. LOOK at how beautiful that is!

Here are a few shots of our decorations.
