December 9 - Day by Day by Day

Make the season last by celebrating the special days. We’ve gotten past December 6th, St Nicholas Day, a great day for making specially decorated Santa Claus cookies to share with the neighborhood kids. December 8 for Mary candles. St. Lucy’s Day is December 10. The festival of lights. You might do something as simple a decorating the table with extra candles. For years our eldest daughter woke us on St. Lucy’s day with a song and fresh coffee cake, because we had convinced her that this was how the day was properly celebrated. Then she found out that none of the other kids had to do it, and she quit. December 13 is the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Have a dinner of Mexican Food. Make a pinata. There are many reasons to celebrate. Why not create your own. Nothing is more fun than unique family holidays.

Let me know about some of your special holidays.
