Traditions and Florida Humor
Family traditions, new or old.
My family has a lot of traditions around the holidays. Thanksgiving at my parents, Christmas morning at my house and Christmas dinner at my parents. We did that for years and years. Then my parents moved to Florida, I moved to Georgia and then to Florida and things changed. It’s just us. All the kids are grown and gone and live some where else making their own traditions with their new families.
I miss the traditions, but my husband and I have started some new ones. For instance, I put up the Christmas tree while watching the Georgia and Georgia Tech football game. Thanksgiving is still at my mom’s and Christmas at my house. I’m thankful that my Aunt and her family will be here for Thanksgiving this year, so my mom can cook a big dinner again and we can enjoy a large family gathering. We, of course, will miss my father being with us, but he will be remembered.

Since its still hurricane season here in Florida and I hope the people in Texas are ready for Ike tonight. My prayers are with you guys!! I just had to share a few hurricane pictures today with you. Enjoy.
OMG – I know hurricanes are not funny, but those cartoons cracked me up! LOVE LOVE LOVE the Enough is Enough one!
We’ve started a bunch of traditions during the holidays as well. Family ornament, the way we decorate, Christmas Eve at our house, Christmas breakfast.
I adore Christmas!
Ohhh! Poor Florida! I liked the comic of the state moving North and the “we are here, our car is here” one – funny! My Dad lives in Houston so we’re anxiously watching all the Ike news… Visiting from IL via the DST blog train – come find me here: htpp://isladeangela.wordpress.com/
