Write about one or more holiday traditions your family carried on last year.
Christmas at Mimi’s house. This was my 7th Christmas with the Clawsons and it feels like i’ve been doing it much longer than that. It’s like driving up to Belton is fianlly going home after a long year of traveling. I love getting there & wondering the last 5 miles if we’re going to be the very last ones there… then pulling up & realizing we aren’t (usually it’s my in-laws). I love seeing the smile on Mimi’s face when we come inthe door… and I love the hugs from PaPaw. White Elephant is always funny- Caleb usually ends up with something girly. My boys get to play with their secodn cousins- who really don’t live far, but we really only see them on holidays.
The only “tradition” we seem to have is our annual trip to the Lilac Festival in Rochester, NY for Mother’s Day. Dad and the kids have taken me for 3 yrs in a row. Mike won’t go ’cause he doesn’t see the point to a festival about flowers… LOL
All other holidays seem to vary every year.
