My idea of an old fashioned Christmas would be to put handmade ornaments on a real Christmas tree, like the construction paper garlands, strung popcorn, cranberries, etc. and to use those old fashioned big Christmas lights and tons of icicles. All of the food would be home made pies and cookies, home made bread, all of the women in the kitchen cooking together and all of the men playing football. Everyone singing carols together and not thinking it’s dorky. And most of all, saying a heartfelt prayer before dinner.

Baking cookies and making cocoa for a night of tree trimming and caroling. We put on our warm fuzzy pajamas and sang all the Christmas songs while we enjoyed cocoa and cookies and reminisced on each ornament! Then we would watch some good old Christmas movies, Charlie Brown, Wonderful Life, Rudolph, and pile up on the couch together. We had a nice homemade dinner and talked about the season and asked the kids what they wanted for Christmas. At some point we would all get in the car and ride around the neighborhoods that had outside decorating and maybe stop by a family members to see if they had made cookies too! We shook presents and tried to guess what each was. On Christmas Eve we would watch as many movies as we could pack into one night and we would talk about Christmases past. We tried to stay awake as long as possible, but we always fell sleep. Christmas morning we had to wait till mom and dad were up before opening anything and you best believe we hurried them out of bed. We did not just open everything as fast as possible, we enjoyed each gift and played with it some before opening another one. After opening our gifts we called our grandparents to tell them what santa had brought us and then our cousins to see what santa had brought them. Our cousins lived right next door so we all ran to eaches house to check out the new toys. Then our parents would call us home to get dressed so we could go to Aunt Paulas for Christmas lunch and open gifts with her. We prayed over our meal and we thanked our Lord Jesus for the sacrifices he made on our behalf and we knew what Christmas was. We felt it in our heart, and I never wanted it to end!
