Today was ‘Decorating Day’ at our home. No, that’s not a spelling error. It is intentionally capitalized. An event. Our tradition. About 5 years strong now.
It starts with cinnamon sticks simmering on the stove. Warm breakfast rolls and carols playing on the house speakers. Boxes from the attic unveiling lights, stockings, the tree and decorations. No bad attitudes allowed.
The day goes on until evening when the entire house looks and smells of Christmas. We build a fire and enjoy.
I’ve always loved this day, but the greatest part is now my kids have started to dub this their ‘favorite day of the year’ and wake up with equal excitement and anticipation.
I love that we are starting our own traditions. Making memories, enjoying special times,…. creating lasting effects.
