Our Family Tradition

Every year a couple of days before Christmas, our family has a special tradition. We choose something to create or make from scratch, whether its a Christmas treat, a decoration, or something like candles that you can use all year long. Then, we find all of our family member's addresses(since most of them live out of state), put our gift we created in a box, and send it to them! We don't do this every year, but we do at least every other year. I have a lot of fun doing it with my parents and siblings! We get to look up ideas, or come up with our own! We came up with this tradition because we wanted to do something special that wasn't just for us, since it is the season of giving! We knew that its important to give around Christmas instead of receive. I looked up Christmas quotes through google, and the one I found said: "Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting." I really like this quote since it relates to our family's tradition. I love Christmas, and my family does too. Remember to give, and to have a merry Christmas!
