Thank you, Alexandra, for bringing back such beautiful memories. Your words transported me to those days we shared as kids and teenagers—what a gift it is to relive them. It’s a lovely reminder that it’s never too late for any of us to create new traditions and rediscover the magic in moments like these. Your story beautifully captures how timeless and precious these connections are.
Thanks, Ilse!!! It was one of my very favorite parts of the year and we sure made for great angels. Ha ha! And yes, new traditions as our lives (and geographies!) change are vital!
Christmas traditions are the best traditions (aside from New Years traditions, of course). Perhaps we should attempt to revive this one in our neighborhood. Except we'll be in Akron. So maybe we can do it here in the summer
If I have to walk around holding a candle, I think summer in the way to go! In Venezuela it was always 70 degrees or so for the paradura, but that's the beauty of the tropics!
