What have been Christmas traditions and special events for you?
When my wife was a little girl in Holland, she put her wooden shoes out on Christmas eve and in the morning they were full of goodies. She remembers her mom making oliebollen and apple-floppa (Sp?)
I grew up in southern Oregon state (USA). Because the area around us had many large forests we got to go into the snowy woods and cut down a live fir for our Christmas tree. Cost $1 for a permit. That was wonderful. In first grade I was an ornament on a Christmas tree - we wrapped colored celophane on our flashlights and stood on risers on the school stage. We were arranged to look like a big tree. Our flashlights were the tree lights and we sang Christmas carols for a school Christmas show.
How about you?
