I also loved reading about your childhood Christmas experiences Larry.
As a child growing up our tradition was to celebrate Christmas Eve with my fathers side of the family.
Christmas morning was strictly for our family and Christmas day was celebrated with my mother's side of the family.
We were surrounded by love and learning about the true meaning of Christmas.
As soon as I get back home I will start baking cookies and maybe even some stollen, it was one of my mom's favorite things to bake at Christmas time.
