Today I'm linking up with MamaKat to talk about Christmas must haves.
I think the most important thing to have at Christmas is family. I can't remember a Christmas I didn't spend with family, immediate and extended normally. For me, family is part of what makes Christmas Christmas.
Next important things would be the music, the Christmas goodies (which are a big tradition in my family), and our stocking ornaments. Stocking ornaments you ask? Well every year for a very long time my mother has gotten all of the children an ornament and put it in our stockings. If you're old like me ;) then you have quite a few ornaments by now, so a great collection built up for when you have your own Christmas tree. Those ornaments are very traditional for me and I look forward to finding out what ornament my mother got for me more than I look forward to opening in my presents.
So those are my Christmas must haves. Obviously, the ultimate must have for Christmas that too often we take for granted is Jesus. Without Him there wouldn't be a Christmas and it is important to never forget that. Corny I know but remember the saying, "You can't take the Christ out of Christmas".
P.S. If you haven't liked my blog's Facebook page be sure to do so! The link is in the bar on the right hand side.

I picked the same writing prompt but I talked about gifts that I must-have instead of things that I must-have to make it Chrsitmasy. ><
ReplyDeleteIt's neat how a prompt can be interpreted and discussed in different ways!
Haha! I wasn't sure how to interrupt it so I just went with what I thought it meant. :)
