I do want to talk about tradition. Have being growing up in Ukraine where Christmas was secondary Holiday and New Years was first I did not have any traditions on celebrating Christmas. After I came to USA to merry Rob, I found out Americans do not celebrate New Year, but Christmas. Rob's family have little traditions that we are following with our children. Before opening gifts we read Christmas story from Like 2 and talking to children about it. It is important that our children will know that gifts are not important but one gift that God gave us is. It is Jesus Christ.
Now in my 15Th year in USA, I did taught some of our friends how to celebrate New Years Christian way. There is a non-Christian way too, but we are not going to do that. Christian way is we share food, playing games and then around 11:55 PM we are getting around and praying to ask God's blessings on upcoming year. After that is all night playing games and enjoining company in the circle of friends.
