Creating Christmas Family Traditions & Being okay when they Change

Thank you buybuy BABY for sponsoring this post! This post title includes one thing I love and one thing I hate ;) It is no secret that I love traditions! I gush over them on the blog all the time! That second half is not always easy for me but it is a MUST if I want to enjoy the holidays. 2020 isn't the only holiday season that has messed up my plans. There was the december I was SO sick because I was in my first trimester with Hilde and the Thanksgiving Day we watched my nieces and ... continue reading...

How to Make New Traditions (& keep the old)

ASK ELIZABETH Question: Do you have any new holiday traditions or do you just do your family ones? Now that I'm older & married I feel like I want some of our own. Traditions you say? I can talk about traditions forever! I am a tradition queen.  Make new traditions but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold (sung to the tune of a girl scouts favorite ;) ) Traditions around the holidays are very dear to me and make this season so much more richer.

I wanted to share them with ... continue reading...

Rather than planning for and preparing for a new year (while purging the house of all Christmas), the church is still in the middle of celebrating Christmastide and, on this date specifically, celebrating the circumcision and naming of Jesus.

December Booklist

I wanted to only read Christmas themed books for the month of December and it was so fun! I've never done an exclusive theme before in my personal reading and I enjoyed it a lot. I had to put other books on pause (talking about you Dune) but it helped create an atmospheric season in my home and heart! I think it will be a tradition I continue years to come! Let me know if you have any Christmas suggestions, I'll add it to my Goodreads and make sure to put them on hold at the library EARLY! ... continue reading...
