We are starting a new tradition this year! So excited about it also. Since our family is growing and funds keep getting tighter every year we are doing an ornament exchange!!! We want to keep all the fun, lessen the stress and teach the children that being together, laughter, goodies, lights & decorations are what's important. Rather than do the 'white elephant' type game and so that the little people don't have hard feelings over someone taking their present.... We are going to pick a Christmas book and agree on one word ahead of time. Everyone sits with their wrapped ornament and when the 'special' word is read in the story, everyone passes their package one person to the right....this continues every time the 'special' word is read. At the end of the book everyone opens their new ornaments!!! Fun, huh? :0)
