Christmas Tradition

When our daughter was a baby we lived next door

to a Danish couple who introduced our Family to the Danish tradition of

candles on the Christmas tree.

On Christmas eve before Church we were all invited

to come and have glogg and apple cider and cookies galore

and watch the

lighting of the candles on the tree

It was amazing how beautiful the tree was with all the candles lit

( there was always a fire extinguisher handy just in case)

It was fun to watch the faces of the children as the tree glowed and we all sang

Silent Night

I started collecting the european candle holders and now

I buy one every year to add to the collection

We don't light the candles on our tree but we still put them on and remember the glow

Some are new, some are old but they are special to me because of the memories
Making memories and celebrating family traditions is what makes
Christmas so special
What are your family traditions?
♥ Christmas
Blessings
