For the last several months, there has been a routine in our household. Every night after dinner, Daddy and Michael sit down together to watch a couple of videos, usually shows that my husband likes and wants to introduce to his son. The choices range from Batman and the Justice League to Popeye and the Little Rascals, with a little Powerpuff Girls thrown in for good measure.
This week, the after-dinner ritual has become a family affair with the airing of several Christmas shows on TV. So far, we have seen four animated specials:
- Shrek the Halls
- How the Grinch Stole Christmas
- Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
- Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Last night, we had a church commitment, so Michael had playtime with some other children instead, but tonight we will be settling back in to watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the feature film with Jim Carrey).
Thus begins a family tradition that I am sure will continue for years to come, and I’m sure there will be many more. What are your favorite holiday traditions?
