The tree at Rockafeller Center, from our trip in 2009.
Our family has always celebrated two days of Christmas. Christmas Eve was always with my mom's side of the family, since in Germany, Christmas is celebrated on the 24th. Christmas Day was split into mornings with just us, and then we would spend time with my dad's side of the family.
My brother, sister and cousin:)
Since Will and I have been together, we've had to throw his mom and dad's families into the mix as well- it can be a truly exhausting holiday! But having too much family is a nice problem to have. It'll be interesting to see how things change once we have little ones of our own:)
Early December NYC trip, 2009.
Chritmastime also always makes me miss New York. The tree at Rockefeller, the snow in Central Park, the kids playing at FAO Schwartz, the window decorations lining 5th Avenue. There's something magical about Christmas in New York: it's as if Santa is truly waiting inside that giant Macy's to ask you what you want under your tree.

Are there any special traditions you have for Christmas? Any new traditions you plan on starting this year? All of us here are wishing you the Merriest of Christmases, and we hope you enjoy a cozy day with your loved ones!!!
