jcwyatt® Christmas Traditions! While our lives more forward at such a busy pace the rest of the year, the holidays are a time to slow down, remember, visit family and friends and reconnect with where we’ve been. We rejoice in repeating even the simplest traditions-baking cookies "the way mom did it," unwrapping favorite tree ornaments or watching "It’s a Wonderful Life" for the one-hundredth time. But every year, we go back to explore the origin of familiar and maybe not so familiar Christmas customs. From these roots, we’ve drawn inspiration for holiday decorations and gifts that can make the season even more meaningful for you and your family.
