Hi everyone! Welcome to the next challenge in our 12 Days of Christmas celebration.

For this challenge, I want you to scrap a layout about what December means to you.
Is it the people you spend time with, a summer holiday, snow days and hot chocolate, running around prepping for Christmas, a specific tradition you have?

You can have photos or go photoless, and you can scrap in any style you want.

When I think of December, I think of our advent calendar tradition. The countdown always starts with an invitation to find the Christmas gnome I hide with kiddo's choccy calendar. Even at 12, she still loves the silliness of playing "hotter and colder" to find the gnome. Here's my layout to document our tradition.

First on my list every December, is to get out the first week and see if there's ice on a river. Doesn't seem to matter a lot to me, which river. :D

The meaning of December for me is about the water under the ice on our rivers. I was always...

love reading about your traditions in december - thanks so much for the great challenge!

the tradition of eating stollen
The Royal Infant
My family and my grandmother was very attached to certain Saxon traditions.
This also included the baking of the Christstollen, which is also known in Dresden under the name "Striezel".
The tradition of baking Christmas Stollen in Dresden is very old. Historians fond out that Christmas Stollen was already baked in 1400.
Religion aspects influenced the history of the "Dresden Christmas Stollen". The rolled form of the Stollen symbolized the wrapped in a nappy and lie in a hay box Christ Child.

For my grandmother, the annual baking of the Christmas stollen was a very important tradition, which she fulfilled with devotion. I was always with her in the kitchen and she kept telling me about the stollen - thickly coated with melted butter and thickly with powdered sugar to commemorate the baby Jesus in diapers.
She always spoke of the "royal child" - and
At the end she always said: “There it lies, the swaddling baby, covered in butter and sprinkled with sugar, white as freshly fallen snow, heavy with raisins, candied lemon peel and almonds, and surrounded by the delicate scent of vanilla.

The Meaning of Xmas is Family. Home maybe where the heart is. But for us - Family is the heart.

We don't have any traditions. We really don't celebrate Xmas any more. It was more for when the kid was younger. In this photo (Dated 2013) my son is 11 years old. Now that he is older and out of school, we no longer celebrate. Xmas is just too commercialized for us.

Xmas is family and home. Home may be where the heart is. Home is also where the family is.
