Stepping into Traditions

My tree is up hurrah! This is the holiday of baby steps. It feels a little off to do things like trimming the tree without the kids since they are still away at school. The DS will be home in a week and the DD a few days after that. The DH and I decided to get the tree going though since time was ticking and got it up this weekend just minus the traditional new ornaments that I add every year for the kids. They will add those finishing touches when they come home and then it will . What are some of your holiday traditions?

All the best,
