Children’s Corner with Mary T. Jacobs
Quote of the Month: “Anyone who has ever been able to sustain good work has had at least one person, and often many more, who have believed in him or her. We just don’t get to be competent human beings without a lot of different investments from others.” -Life’s Journey According to Mister Rogers I am thrilled to be writing about Christmas and our traditions and also our blessings. Some of the traditions our family had and still have and here are the following: 1. We play a game called “Dirty Santa” and some call it the White Elephant game. We all laugh and have fun plus get a gift. 2. The morning of Christmas we always pigs in the blanket for breakfast, when it is our immediate family. 3. When we gather the week before Christmas at my sister in laws home, we eat barbeque on Saturday night and Shrimp and grits the next morning for breakfast, along with tons and bacon plus homemade waffles. Of course, none of this is low calories…But it is delicious! 4. When the family opens gifts, we first distribute them to the family and we open one at a time, while everyone watches. 5. We may play board games, talk about Christmas’s in the past and of course watch Christmas movies. These are just a few of the family traditions that we share. Please name and discuss at least three traditions that you and your family do each year!
