Every year at Christmastime we have watched It’s a Wonderful Life. We didn’t decide to make it a tradition, it just happened that way because we enjoy doing it every year. I like it when traditions happen naturally, not because everyone else is doing it, or because we feel like we should, or even because our families did it when we were young (and there are still many of those we love to continue.)
So for now, we have made a tradition of watching that movie every year because we love it and we just do it every year anyway. And we may just watch the 1938 Christmas Carol next year too because we really loved that one! (And I usually don’t care for other A Christmas Carol versions.)
And we loved having pomegranates! We had those in our stockings last year and it was such a special treat (I don’t usually like to take the time to peel them, but Christmas makes it worth it… And Jake peeled them, so that made a difference. 🙂
