We ...Thanks for sharing your Christmas Traditions. We recently created a podcast on this subject, in the Generations podcast “Three generations of Christian women share their thoughts about different issues and aspects of life.” We have some traditional ones like the Christmas pj,’s that are opened on Christmas eve, and Jesus’ birthday cake, retelling of the Christmas story. But there are some unusual ones like, Misfit Christmas, and upside down Christmas tree, a pickle in your tree, and some wonderful traditions to share with the kids. We also included some recipes. Thanks so much for sharing yours if you want to listen to ours here is the link to the podcast. http://godswordcollectibles.blogspot.com/2008/12/new-podcast-inspirations0016-christmas.html<BR/><BR/>Blessings this Christmas and a wonderful New YearAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-55365113216710906712008-12-24T16:30:00.000-06:002008-12-24T16:30:00.000-06:00Merry Christmas, Lesa.
