A Family Tradition

tra-di-tion:
the handing down of statements, beliefs, legends, customs, etc from generation to generation especially by word of mouth or practice


Its an old Glass tradition -

The day after Thanksgiving you go to a Christmas tree farm and cut down a fresh tree!


There are 2 rules when you get home:

1) You CANNOT see the christmas lights until the official tree lighting when the tree is finished

2) You CANNOT listen to SILENT NIGHT ALL DAY - until the tree lighting!!!

These are SACRED :)





Andrew's favorite part of the tradition is the Sparkling juice! He has a little cup every night while we look at the tree and talk about our new tradition = Elvis the Elf! Claire is still a little young, but she is enjoying the tree and all of its delicate ornaments!


Hope you are all starting your Christmas season with a little innocent magic!

Looks like a lot of fun. Scott had to work the day after Thanksgiving this year, no cutting down the tree and no annual day after Thanksgiving movie :(
