I can’t believe Christmas is just a week away, and we couldn’t be more excited about it! I have the gifts wrapped, cookies made and decorations up! With Christmas comes traditions, and we thought it’d be fun to share some of our Christmas traditions with you all today!

• Black Friday shopping (does this count?)
• Watch Elf while we decorate the tree
• Christmas party with my two besties from middle/high school (we’ve been doing this for 12 years, and while it used to be a Secret Santa gift exchange, we’ve been crafting Pinterest gifts for each other for the past 3 years)
• The Annual Mish Christmas Party
• Christmas Eve church service (often complete with a live manger scene – animals included)
• Mike and I exchange an ornament and PJ’s every Christmas Eve before we go to bed (gotta look good for Santa)
• Sticky buns (from a family friend) for breakfast on Christmas morning

This year we made a little twig tree to hang all of our Christmas Cards on and it’s filling up fast!

The ornament on the left is from Mike and the one on the right is from a sweet client of ours…

Heinz Chapel, a homemade ornament from my mom and “Our First Home” 

For the baseball lovers in us…

What fun traditions does your family have?
