Christmas Traditions

Well,  I am sorry I have not posted for awhile. I have been a little busy, but here is my families Christmas traditions.  Each year all the people that are over six in my family go skiing at Alt ski resort.  The only people who do not ski right now is my mom and Rayanna. We ski all day and then we drive home and have dinner or go out to dinner.
   Most of our Christmas dinners were at home and we would turn all the lights off and light candles, but know we are starting a new tradition. Going out to Red Iguana. After our lovely dinner we come home and open surprise balls.
   My Grandma Roylance makes the surprise balls.   They are wrapped in crape paper and you start from the top and pull!  As you pull toys and other fun things come out, but once you turn 12 you no longer get a surprise ball.  You just get a note with 15 dollars in it. Which is a great present too!  Another gift we open is new P.J's each year.
    Then we say goodbye to Winkie.  Each year we have this little elf called Winkie.  He arrives at our house at the beginning of December and each night does one mischievous thing. Then on Christmas eve Winkie goes back tho the north pole with Santa. ;)
   "Holiday Inn" is the movie we watch on Christmas eve.   It is a great movie!
After the movie we set out our stockings, put cookies and milk for Santa, 9 carrots for the Reindeer, a slice of cheese for Santa Mouse, and a note!  Then we check the Santa tracker. Read a story about Jesus Christ birth and then go to bed!

I received a ukulele this year, 2013.

This is the 8 snowmen we built the day before Christmas!

Merry Christmas! I am NOT A Slacker.

Actually, on second thought, I am. I am a total slacker, because who wants to write a blog post when they have other things to stress about? Not me. But spending five minutes to keep Garren happy is worth it. So this one's for you Garren.
Christmas is a great holiday! In that time of season everyone's trying to be nice, there are some really funny Christmas commercials, the house is all decorated and smelling like cinnamon, and lets not forget the endless supply of treats that you get from your neighbors. Best idea ever! We also have a few fun traditions.
-Every year we give out our famous salsa and we have found if we do it early in December, then we get even more treats.
-Every year my uncle comes down from San Francisco  and gives each of the grandchildren a present. This year I got a cinch sack and sweats.
-On Christmas Eve we always buy apple cider and celebrate before we go to bed.
-On Christmas morning the me, Maddie, (my sister) and Megan (my other sister) get up at five, go down stairs, open our stockings and then sleep on the couches while we wait for everyone else to get up.
Although Christmas is a lot of fun, it can also be really busy and really stressful. I never know what I want for Christmas so it's always a surprise. One of my favorite parts of Christmas time is the white elephant gifts. It's always fun to see what people come up with. So, that is a little bit about what my Christmas looks like.

Okay, So I'm a Slacker. Merry Christmas

As much as I'd like to, I don't have an excuse this time.  I'm not lazy!  Alright, I am.  I'm lazy!  I'm lazy!  I'm...


I've had many Christmases. 15, to be exact.  Two of which were White Christmases.  Cause, you see, in Las Vegas, Christmas looked a lot like this.

That's our Christmas Tree

In Utah, I've come to discover that Christmas looks like this.

That hit me kind of unexpectedly. 

Anyway, back to Christmas.  Best season in the history of ever!  Yes, better then the season of eating, and the season of going into a sugar coma.  You know what season we could do without?  January.  Who likes January?  Uh, nobody.  What's there to like?  Christmas is over!  Everyone hates everyone else.  

Anyway, back to Christmas.  Are family has mucho Christmas traditions.  I won't list them all, because I don't want this post to take forever.  A few: Going to see the lights on Temple square.  

We went this year.  It was around 10 thousand degrees below, but man!  Was it beautiful!  

We have our Christmas dinner on Christmas eve.  Every year all the kids sleep in the same room, and wake my parents up around 5 AM, and end up going to open presents around 7:30.  Also in Las Vegas we had a party at our house with our friends on Christmas night.  Yes.  In pajamas.  Christmas is the best!  But don't talk about it now.  It's January.  I hate you.
