Update and Christmas traditions

Hello everyone! I am so sorry I have not posted in such a looong time, our family laptop died so Moms is the only working one in the house. I meant to do a post about our recent reenactment and was in the middle of making a picture movie for it when the laptop flunked:( Well I hope to get it on here soon or I will just download the pictures on here with out them being in a movie, but I think the movie idea is better seeing as we took 1,778 pictures during the reenactment! Besides that we have been busy getting ready for the Christmas season, advent, and all our family traditions. One of our favorite traditions goes like this... Each person (over the age of five) including the parents draws a name (a name of some one in the family), who ever they drew they have to do things for them and be extra nice to them (without letting that person find out you drew them), until Christmas Day when everybody tells who they drew and what they did for that parson. It is a really fun tradition and if you really want to not let that person guess who you drew, you can do extra things for other people so that person wont guess you drew them. Of course there are those times where it will go wrong, like last year Dad drew me so he bought me a kolache from the doughnut store and him not wanting me to know he drew me sent one of the little boys out to give it to me, well me not knowing Dad bought it, had no idea it was bought for me and so I sent the little brother inside to give it to Mom thinking the little brother wasn't supposed to bring it to me. So what special Christmas traditions does you're family do?
