"Silver Bells, Silver Bells, It's Christmastime in the city!"
I love that song so much! It is my default whistling song around Christmas. Ever since I can remember, my family and I have gotten up super early the day after Thanksgiving to go to Wal-Mart and ring the Salvation Army bell. It is just one of those things we do. We usually see several people we know and tons of people that are coming to get a good deal on some item they don't really need, but since the price is so cheap, they get it anyways. Some years it is super cold, other years it has been mild. This year wasn't too cold, but it sure was windy!
The second event of the day is almost as taxing because we send out like a gazillion Christmas cards every year! Everyone signs their own name and it can be entertaining. I started a new game this year while we sign... I turn on Pandora to Christmas music, instead of Very Veggie Christmas which we listen to EVERY year, and then we have to guess who is singing the song. Martina McBride and Josh Groban were the answer most of the time.
Traditions can be fun and some can be bad, I like these two family traditions, even if my ears ring and my hand cramps for days!
