Will and I ran with Jade this morning. It took a mile for my legs to feel normal. They were tight and sluggish at first. Jade and I talked about making Christmas goodie plates for our neighbors.
I love Christmas. I like thinking up Christmas traditions. One year I would like to start the tradition of making my own Christmas wreath. Making candies (like chocolate dipped carmels with nuts and english toffee) is another activity I would like to make into a tradition. I've made toffee once and this December will be my first time to make carmels. --I have to laugh because a lot of you have been talking about eating food that will be good "fuel" and the candies I plan on making aren't great "fuel." Also, I'm laughing because I am thinking about what Tom said on Lybi's blog about changes can happen over time. I hope over time that I will be really good at making these candies.
One tradition I have started is making stockings for my family. I am working on the fourth one now, although it might be a couple years before we use it. Another tradition we've done the past three years is Chirstmas Wishes--where we talk into a tape recorder and say what we would like to do or see happen in the next year. Lately we've been telling our Christmas Wishes after Christmas, which makes it more of New Year Resolutions. However, it's still fun to actually record the "wishes" through talking and I like listening to them a year later.
Do you guys have any traditions you like? |
