I am home from the "Land of Milk and Honey!" (That is my hubby's name for my home town). I have been shopping and I have SOOO many fun things to give away!! Well you all have failed on the first contest : ( I was going to give each person who commented below on their Thanksgiving stories something fun for the Holidays! No one commented so there goes that fabulous idea....so now that I have all my goodies we are going to have a fabulous favorite Christmas tradition, story, or even recipe contest. Each story will be judged against stories, and likewise with the recipes and traditions. E-mail them to holly2300@yahoo.com. Judges, other than myself will decide the winner(s). All entries must be received by next Tuesday at 12:00 a.m. (Midnight, December 9th, 2008). Since we just got home today I still need to look through all my fun stuff and decide what to give so I will post the prize(s) tomorrow. Please note that what you send us may or may not be used on our blog. We reserve the right to be able to use what you send with appropriate credit given to you!

SOUNDS LIKE FUN!!!
Here is my story. Weston is from Rexburg, and it being a college town, has a LOT of Christmas trees that are discarded just before the holiday. Students throw away these trees just before leaving for home. So, Weston's brothers get the driest looking tree and steal it from the garbage pile and take it home. They continually do things to dry it out until Christmas Eve. Then we have a 'tree lighting' ceremony, where all the neighbors are invited for hot chocolate and homemade doughnuts. Then the tree is lit on fire. A couple of years the tree has not burned well (because of fire retardant)and we have had to add things like cotton balls with vaseline to aid in the burning process. It is really scary to see how fast the tree goes up in smoke! But is makes for an interesting tradition story.
Pick me, Pick me, Pick me!!!!
Holly! I can't believe that I didn't see this before! I LOVE contests and I LOVE LOVE LOVE baking! I love that this blog is in honor of Grandma Sanders so it reminded me of our granny. I have a little tradition that we just started last year. My husbands very dear grandma (she raised him) just passed away last year. We called her Nini. Well, Nini just loved jammies. She had dozens of really cute festive jammies. Everytime we would go over at night she would have on some really cute seasonal jammies on and I just loved them. So when she passed away we decided to give everyone jammies for a christmas eve present every year. We have a huge pajama party on Christmas eve and bake yummy treats. (Nini also loved to bake.) So that is my small little christmas tradition that we have started in memorie of Dougies Nini.
