Christmas Chaos

Christmas I love Christmas. I love celebrating the birth of Jesus and the beginning of the Easter season. Since getting married and having kids Drew and I have been able to create our own traditions mixed in with traditions we both brought from our extended family. Early on I wanted to create a simple Christmas, with the focus staying on Jesus. We established the 4 gift rule, where are each child receive something they want, something they need, something to wear, something to read. Because I work at a church the past few Christmas’s have looked like our family serving and spending Christmas Eve or a day close to it with our church family. We usually get to spend some part of Christmas Eve with my parents which Consists of brand new Christmas jammies, my grandmother’s gumbo recipe, and a reading of the Cajun night before Christmas. When Drew’s parents aren’t in Tennessee we’re all together, usually in our home which has become so special to me. Traditions Christmas
