There are a few days that hold traditions. Days like Super Bowl Sunday, where people gather to watch commercials. Even days like Monday, where every one wakes up grumpy becuase they have to go back to work/school. In my opinion, there is one day that seems to trump the others for traditions…and that is Christmas Eve. Some always open one gift (most likely pajama’s), some go caroling, some watch that move about shooting your eye out, but most everyone does something. I have even heard that one local family buys Pizza Hut and Cherry 7UP every Cristmas eve.
So, if you haven’t got your traditions started, then I have a few ideas for you…
1. Drive around Burley and check out the Christmas lights…If you can find this house your the winner!
2. Watch your favorite Christmas Movie
3. Go Caroling
4. Plan a Snowball fight, If it isn’t snowing, use marshmallows.
5. Take gifts to people in need.
6. Contact your local church and see if they are planning anything
7. Read the Nativity Story in the bible
8. Write Letters to People you care about
9. Go to Walmart and watch the frantic shoppers as they realize they are out of time
10. Go sledding
11. Track Santa on Google Maps (only if you are a computer geek like me)
Whatever you decided to do, just make this holiday season the start of something that you will look forward to year after year.
