Last week, I was lucky enough to be invited to spend the morning with the Shreck family - Becky, her husband Jeff, and their precocious, incredibly adorable son Jonathan. As they welcomed me into their lovely home, I could instantly feel the warmth that radiated from it - and it wasn’t just the yule log video playing on the TV. Christmas was truly in the air this morning, and the love and generosity of the season could be felt emanating from every corner of their home.

I loved watching all their Christmas traditions, from carefully placing their favorite ornaments on the tree, to family story time, to decorating cookies. And by decorating, I mean eating frosting - but let’s be honest, isn’t that the best part?

What are some of your family’s Christmas traditions? Let me know in the comments!
