[quote=Anonymous]I was an "only" raised by a single mother with no extended family in our lives. We sort of made up our own traditions as we went along... singing Christmas carols on the bus started when I was a toddler, baking a gingerbread house, opening our gifts to each other on Christmas Eve (and later when the Santa myth dispersed all our gifts) in our pajamas, strawberries on pancakes or waffles on Christmas morning, the Christmas tree lighting ceremony in our town, Mass on Christmas morning -- all silly little things that we used to do and did exactly the same every single year. Remembering it now, it was very comforting for me to know what the holidays would bring. [/quote]
