CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS - CURRENT, OLD & NEW ONES TOO 🎅🎄 | SARAH SAYS LETS CHAT

[@AprilRaine60]

I've never had anything like what your family does. These will go down the generations. Your traditions mark the milestones and memories of all your lives that the girls will remember when they grow up. They will laugh, cry and share with their families while you are sitting in your rocking chairs and your hair is gray.

[@kendraallday7831]

Thanks

[@teresalast7352]

Why don’t you do a full trolley of toys and take to a food bank. Shop for ages 0-18 it could also include toiletries.

[@wendylucid6049]

How many years out of 10 have you spent at your own home , will you be away for Christmas this year? X

[@maddisonsvlogs598]

Since 2020 they have spent Christmas Day at home I can’t remember what about 2019 and I didn’t watch in 2018 and before that etc I started watching when Jace was born 😅

[@SarahSays]

Out of the last 10 years we've spent 7 of them at home. 😊

[@rachmoo7346]

I hope now that you feel you don't need to go over the top, that you stick to thay mindset for Jace and Mila. They're so little and as a mama myself it's easy to get carried away, but like you said, they don't remember the toys, they remember the experiences, the family time, the cozy home days, the magic ✨❤️ giving some Christmas presents early for the playroom now is a great idea for sure! But don't then go and buy extra for the sake of them having loads on Christmas morning coz they really won't care at that age. I'm so looking forward to the christmas vlogs 🎄🎅🏼

[@6littlelambs]

We do something you want something you need something wear something to read we don’t just do 4 gifts though we set a budget and let them pick a few things each category and do main gifts on birthdays instead

[@SarahSays]

That's a lovely idea xx

[@angelabutterworth8816]

Is your log burner attached to the chimney, it look like it isn’t. It can be extremely dangerous to set that going without a chimney to get ride of the smoke . Carbon monoxide can kill.

[@lynsey9814]

That's a strange christmas tradition, 🤔

[@soulgirl62]

They dont think about things like this Angela... no common sense

[@angelabutterworth8816]

Pure brainlessness. Is that a word.

I love that you have prinny in your Christmas eve photo xx definitely one for us this year with our little doggy x

[@katiepartridge1402]

It’s amazing that your doing stuff for charity I gave stuff to some I know that helps out with the homeless and they were very grateful for the stuff I gave them

[@jayeelizabeth7083]

We don’t do Christmas Eve Boxes, we do a Dec 1st Box then the children can use the things they get for a full 25 days and beyond, rather than just for a few days 🎄

[@sarahmplays9663]

On Christmas Eve we go out and look at Christmas lights. Watch polar express drink hot cocoa. We also read the story of Jesus from the Bible. We also do the story of a pickle. On Christmas Eve I will hide a pickle ornament in the tree whoever finds it first gets to open the first gift and have blessings in the new year. I do get them new pajamas and an ornament. We do an advent calendar.

[@aidanegron1385]

I don’t know how this works because I don’t own a business; but maybe with the businesses you can have the options to donate towards several different charities and the person can choose to donate to one of them.

[@danceella4468]

When will you show the wooden advent calendar on the main channel? please do before December because I really need to order one and I need some inspiration for one and gifts as well that would be so helpful ❤

[@laurahorner6093]

Love this vlog def gave me ideas to sit and do this for new Yr tho what we would like to do for new year I already have 2 vision boards I recently brought to use for this also for things we have done as memories and all the new traditions love all the ideas thanku

[@debraprowd8791]

I do December 1st boxes my kids love the matching pjs and Christmas crafts. I go over the top mainly because I forget about stuff I picked up on clearence after Christmas each year.

[@debraprowd8791]

Adding santa does the 4 gift rule but my kids mainly want stuff from smiggle because of the Harry potter range. So this year their Wear is a backpack, need is a lunchbox and drink bottle, want is some of the keyrings and then instead of Read I'm getting them a journal each so they can write the stuff down.

[@shellbell2628]

For Isabelle you can have her write things about herself on the ribbon, favorite book, best memory etc. that will be fun to look back on

[@emilysmith3393]

Normally have advent calendar, and do not do on much apart from, on Christmas Eve we normally have hot chocolate, marshmallows and watch Elf with Birthday cake as my birthday is 22 of December with the stockings out with the mince pie out for Father Christmas

[@emostyn]

How about a advent calendar nativity scene. That’s what Christmas is about.

[@emmafoster3183]

You should do when you go out and give homeless and get them a maccies like you did few years ago, or you could go dunelm and get a tag from there and you buy what’s on the ticket for a child and someone who doesn’t get much

Also the other girls can measure themselves against their big sister at the same age. You may only have a few more with Isabelle at home. At least do it this year xxxx

[@EmmaMaxwellll]

I don’t have children yet but oh my goodness I just can’t wait to start some of these family traditions as I didn’t have my own growing up! xx

[@KatyWatson173]

My family used to take a Christmas Eve picture on our stairs. We lived in a center hall Colonial house very popular in New England in the 50s and 60s. The kids bathroom was right at the top of the stairs and looking back at the pictures over the years we would say “ look we remembered to close the bathroom door that year!” Or “ look we forgot to close the door that year!” 🤣 When we moved in 1975 to Pennsylvania we stopped doing the pictures as my four older siblings were now adults and didn’t always come for Christmas.

[@agbs_creations]

What is boxing day?

[@angelabutterworth8816]

Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated after Christmas Day, occurring on the second day of Christmastide (26 December).[1] Though it originated as a holiday to give gifts to the poor, today Boxing Day is primarily known as a shopping holiday. It originated in Great Britain and is celebrated in a number of countries that previously formed part of the British Empire. The attached bank holiday or public holiday may take place on 28 December if necessary to ensure it falls on a weekday. Boxing Day is also concurrent with the Catholic holiday Saint Stephen's Day. In parts of Europe, such as several regions of Spain,[2][3] Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Italy, Poland, Slovakia,[4] Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Belgium, Norway, and Ireland, 26 December is Saint Stephen's Day, which is considered the second day of Christmas.

I think the Elves are going to have a ramble through Mila's clean nappies of all things and strew them around the floor of her bedroom or place them on the stair case. I know, those naughty elves think of everything. With regards to advent calendars, I think homemade ones are best because the gift can be more of a keepsake than pre purchased ones. Kindest Regards, Aiden Alamo.
