Christmas Ideas

I've decided that we are going to start a new Christmas tradition in my family next year. We are going to pick a different country every year and follow the traditions of that country instead of doing our own thing every year. So it will take a little research on my part, but what a fun experience it would be to "do Christmas" like someone else each year. I go the idea yesterday at my daughters Christmas program. They did different songs from each culture and had a little power point on the differences in each country. For example, in Spain & Mexico, they don't give out presents until January 6th because that is when the three wise men showed up to give gifts to Jesus. So I would like to follow food & gift customs. I also learned in Wales they have a caroling competition. Just beware, I will not be afraid to drop the hammer on some Christmas Carols. I almost have Karri on board, so that is the goal for next year.

Weight - 208.2 Down 3.6 lbs from yesterday. I guess there was a lot of garbage in my system that had to be eradicated. Maybe my goal from yesterday is doable after all?
