I think the important thing is that every day should be like Christmas Day -- peace on earth, goodwill to all as we celebrate Jesus' birth.Donna Schlachterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10813998101356313145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-44911211805718854322021-01-29T12:32:05.870-05:002021-01-29T12:32:05.870-05:00Thanks, Wendy.

My family celebrates Christmas Day and opens presents in the morning, and usually takes the tree down on New Year's Day. Growing up I did not know what Epiphany was. t<br />teshawATsbcglobalDOTnetTammie Edington Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008513349986164730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-17836180842399901542021-01-28T09:45:46.111-05:002021-01-28T09:45:46.111-05:00We used to always get together for Christmas Eve b...We used to always get together for Christmas Eve but as time goes by and all of our kids having kids, grandkids having kids, and family all over the country it seems like we are celebrating Christmas sometimes a week ahead of time and my husband and I are having Christmas Eve and Day by ourselves.

I don't blame the people for grumbling about that! In my childhood it WAS common for relatives to visit at Christmas and for us to display our gifts for a day or two before putting them away but it was never really a tradition and it fell away. I never practiced this with our own family, probably because we were the ones who always went visiting family on that special day. <br />You have my contact info.Connie R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12038621934457678475noreply@blogger.com
