Christmas Traditions

Honestly, I don't know if we really have any true Christmas traditions.  We usually go to temple square to see the lights, we usually read the story of the Christmas Apple, I usually make everyone listen to "Don't forget the Star," we usually do some holiday baking, we usually try to serve someone in need, but nothing is really set in stone.  This year I was having a hard time getting the Christmas spirit, and we never had all our our kids together at the same time, so our "traditions" didn't really pan out.  We kind of threw a few them together at the last minute.  We listened to "Don't Forget the Star" on the way to see the lights at temple square and help someone in need at the "Giving Machines."  The line was too long though so I just donated online.  The next day we did A LOT of baking.
