[Blindtlk] My Favorite Christmas Traditions

[roanna bacchus]

Dear Members,

I would like to tell you about some of my favorite Christmas 
traditions.  Trips to the mall to visit Santa Claus, snowflakes, 
cold Winter mornings, and a drive out to the countryside to 
purchase to purchase our fresh Christmas tree are just a few of 
the activities that are familiar to me.  The Christmas traditions 
that I remember most are the customs of my family.  My personal 
favorites are the Parang music, the traditional West-indian and 
American foods that are on our table, and the deserts that we 
share after the meal.  Everyone enjoys my paternal grandmother's 
West-indian fruit cake made with raisins, nuts, and a host of 
other ingredients.  What are some of your favorite Christmas 
traditions?
