HERE: 50 Christmas traditions: https://daringtolivefully.com/christmas-traditions

It’s Christmas time! Here are 50 glorious Christmas traditions to get your Holidays off to a great start (for kids from 1 to 92).

1. Make a list of your ten favorite holiday songs, find a great version of these songs on YouTube, and look for the lyrics online. Play them over and over again and sing along. Here are my favorites:

“O Holy Night” by Celtic Woman

“Believe” – by Josh Groban

“The Christmas Song”sung by Nat King Cole.

“All I Want For Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey

“It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” by Andy Williams

So This is Christmas by Celine Dion

Do You Hear What I Hear? by Carrie Underwood

Carol of the Bells by Pentatonix

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Frank Sinatra

Let It Snow by Dean Martin

As Buddy from the 2003 movie “Elf” explains, the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.

2. Go to the tree farm to pick the perfect tree.

3. Pile into the car at night and drive around looking at all of the Holiday lights and decorations.

4. Since 1989, every resident on the 700 block of Baltimore’s 34th street has put up Christmas lights. This is known as “The Miracle on 34th Street.” Follow suit: get your neighbors together and start a tradition of being the most Christmassy street in your city.

5. Look for a Coca Cola Christmas truck. Then, watch these Coca Cola holiday commercials on YouTube:

Snow Globes Coca Cola 2010 Christmas

Coca Cola Christmas Song

6. Have some hot cocoa, Elf Judy style: “Not too hot. Extra chocolate. Shaken, not stirred.” (Elf Judy is one of Santa’s elves in the movie “The Santa Clause”. It took her 1200 years to perfect her hot cocoa recipe.)

7. Set up a Nativity Scene. Better yet, get creative: make a Lego Nativity Scene or make one of these.

8. Put a Santa Sack under the Christmas tree and have each of your kids place any toys that they no longer play with–but that are still in good condition–in the sack. On Christmas Eve, Santa Claus takes the old toys and replaces them with new ones. The old toys are then donated.

9. Start the tradition of having a special breakfast on Christmas Day. For example, have Eggnog French Toast or eggnog pancakes.

10. Help your kids write a letter to Santa (here are some templates you can use).

11. Write a letter from Santa addressed to each of your kids letting them know they’ve been added to the top of the “nice list”. You can also highlight any special accomplishments they’ve had that year in the letter, so that they know how proud Santa is of them.

12. Start a tradition of having Santa bring each of your kids three gifts, one for each of the wise men. Have the gifts be something to read, something to wear, and something they really want.

13. Make photocopies of your children’s letters to Santa each year and keep them. They can read them years from now and remember back to when what they wanted most in the world was an Elmo doll.

14. Watch “A Charlie Brown Christmas”. Charlie Brown complains to Lucy about the overwhelming materialism that he sees everywhere during the Christmas season, and how the holiday has become completely commercial. Lucy tells him that he can get into the holiday spirit by directing the school Christmas pageant. Charlie Brown accepts.

The pageant turns out to be a frustrating struggle. Charlie Brown attempts to restore the proper spirit with a forlorn little fir Christmas tree, but he just seems to make thing worse. Luckily, Linus explains what the real meaning of Christmas is and the joy of the season is restored...

... ...

22. Watch your favorite Holiday movies. You can even host a Holiday-movie marathon. Here are some of my favorite Christmas movies:

“It’s a Wonderful Life”

“How The Grinch Stole Christmas”

“A Christmas Story”

“The Santa Clause”

“Miracle on 34th Street”

Brace yourself. One of the most brutal Arctic cold outbreaks on record is gathering momentum and moving through North America right now. Wind chills are hitting extremely dangerous levels of -70°F (-57°C) in Wyoming.

Triangle of Sadness Star Charlbi Dean’s Cause of Death Confirmed

Charlbi Dean, the 32-year-old South African model and actress most recently known for starring in Ruben Östlund’s film Triangle of Sadness, died from bacterial sepsis, a spokesperson for the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner told People. Dean died in August, and though she was known to have died from an illness, the specific cause of death was not confirmed. The sepsis “was a complication from asplenia (the absence of a spleen) due to ‘remote blunt trauma to her torso.’” In 2009, at age 18, Dean was in a near-fatal car accident, according to the South African Sunday Times. The crash resulted in two damaged vertebrae; a broken wrist, elbow, and four ribs; as well as internal injuries like a collapsed left lung. Her spleen was removed following the accident. Her sepsis was caused by the bacteria Capnocytophaga, which typically resides in the mouths of animals such as dogs and cats as well as people, according to the CDC....

Lidl customer can't believe the amount for a "small purchase" - "Almost cried when I was out"

12/22/2022

By: Armin T. Linder

After her purchase, a Lidl customer is downright shocked at the amount she was supposed to pay at the discount store.

She almost cried.

Ludwigshafen – The rising prices in supermarkets are causing problems for many people.

Some simply accept them without complaint and shop as usual.

Others are quietly limiting themselves and are more likely to use their own brands or remove one or the other product from the shopping list.

On the other hand, those who have to turn over every cent twice have an even harder time dealing with inflation – and thus sometimes dare to go public: A poor woman recently complained about the price of three simple products at Rewe.

The tweet from a woman who claims to be a single mother of two children from the Palatinate goes in a similar direction.

She has already tweeted several times under the hashtag #ichbinarmutsaffected and has now also spoken out after visiting the supermarket.

According to the Lidl customer, she pays 82 euros for a “small purchase”

The user posted a photo of her almost complete purchase.

For this she was, as the own brands show, at the discounter Lidl....
