On the eleventh day of Christmas Preparations, my true love gave to me:
Eleven holiday traditions,
Ten last minute gifts,
Nine Santa avoiders,
Eight holiday parties,
Seven teaching moments,
Six memories a-haunting,
Five golden rules,
Four fighting kids,
Three snow days,
Two calling workers
and a well planned respite weekend.
Read more to find ideas for holiday traditions you can start in your home and family.
