One day last week, I shared with you our family tradition of $1 gifts, followed by the traditional Christmas gift wrap, snow-ball type fight.
After reading that story, Maureen Elston shared one of their Christmas tradtions:
"You might have heard this before, but our Christmas tradition is - me passing out the nativity pieces to the family. Then I read the Christmas story from the Bible and as I read, the family brings each piece to the manger and when I've finished, the Christ Child has come to our Christmas."
Do any of you have a Christmas tradition that you would like to share with me and with Karen's Korner readers? If you do, type out a few sentences to share.

And a funny Christmas story which I recently received:
A kindly 90-year-old grandmother found buying presents for family and friends a bit much one Christmas, so she wrote out checks for all of them to put in their Christmas cards.
In each card she wrote, "Buy your own present" and then sent them off.
After the Christmas festivities were over, she found the checks in her desk! Everyone had gotten a Christmas card from her with "Buy your own present" written inside, but without the checks!
