Christmas Traditions, Keepers & Tossers

Keeper: Family group competition

Adults against Kids

The Goal: See which team could build the strongest tower made from Dixie cups, forks, straws and paper clips.
Tosser: Too many rules for the activity. Keep it simple.


Tosser: Good China for our meal.
Keeper: Nice paper plates. SO much easier!


Keeper:
New PJ's for everyone on Christmas Eve

And slippers too.

Keeper: Gingerbread House decorating with friends.

Tosser: Scheduling too many activities and too much school work.
Keeper: Enjoying the month. Weekly special Christmas activity (instead of one school subject) on one day each week.


Tosser: Advent House with too many time consuming activities. I need to simplify or this will become something I dread.
Keeper: Simple activities, ones I know I can realistically pull off.



Tosser: The recipe for these cookies.
The cookies were a ton of fun, but they were dry and tasteless.
Keeper: Making cookies together, tasty recipes only :)

Keeper: Making Krumkake and Rosettes with my children. These cookies are ones my grandmother always use to make.
Tosser: Giving them all away!


Tosser: Agreeing to everything, even if it over books our family.
Keeper: Talk about schedules in advance. (I'll need your prayers on this one!)
