Now that we are retired, we have a small artificial tree that we put up, along with other decorations.

This year we had a modified tradition that had been on hiatus for a few years--we went Christmas tree 'hunting' (when our kids were little, we got a permit from the local National Forest and went out and actually hunted for our perfect tree) at a tree lot with our daughter and her husband.

Since my sister and I are not married and are the only two grandkids on my dads side, the traditions are still pretty much the same. I love going to the Christmas Eve candlelight service with my family. Happy Advent!
