“As a young child growing up, my mom would always make a huge pot of potato soup on Christmas Eve, and we would have grilled cheese or grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with it. After supper, our entire family would go look at the Christmas lights in the neighborhood while Santa Claus visited. I don’t know how Mom and Dad did it, but we never caught them getting the gifts under the tree.” -Teresa “My favoriteChristmas tradition involvesmydad’ssideof the family inNebraska.Every year, theweekendafterChristmas,weallget together tohaveapotluckstylebuffetand gift exchange.
