"Frittsmas" Family Traditions

Christmas is also know as "Frittsmas" in our household. We have traditions of Cookie Decorating Parties and matching PJs.

One of our treasured Christmas traditions for our family is our routine on Christmas Day. For us, faith and family is everything, so we celebrate such a special day by spending time with our closest loved ones and having a shared experience of Christmas. Our day starts at home with Erin and I and the kiddos. Having some time just the four of us is precious before the bustle of the day starts. The kids open their gifts from us and we take in the peace and joy of the morning. We then go to my mom's house for an amazing brunch. She makes sausage gravy and biscuits every year and Erin usually makes an overnight French toast. We open presents together there and we eat, laugh and celebrate well into the afternoon. The next stop is Erin's parents' house for a family dinner. We open presents together (youngest always first!) and soak in the moments together before more family members arrive. Angie and Rob always prepare a feast and invite family to come and spend time together as we close out the day. The day is full and always goes by fast, but it never feels too busy or too rushed. We make the most of every moment and cherish the memories we create with each other.
