Holiday Traditions Contest
Congratulations to mom2mom members: "imommy," "m guynes" and "tsufish" who won one of three gifts: Tinkerbell DVD, High School Musical DVD Game or a digital photo keychain for posting their family holiday traditions. Here are their posts
by imommy
We have several family holiday traditions. One of our favorites that even the big kids love is to find the pickle ornament hidden on the tree on Christmas morning. I'm not quite sure the history of this tradition, but it's one I carry on from my mother.
We bought our pickle ornament, but a fun craft for the kids on Christmas Eve could be to make one out of green construction paper and yarn. The kids can't paint it or cover it in glitter.
Once everyone is awake, hide the pickle in the tree (there's no peeking!) and the first one to find it wins a prize. If it's all younger children the winner gets to open the first present. If you have mostly older kids then you might want to give the winner a small prize (a Christmas CD, DVD or ornament). Have fun!

We live next door to my parents. Every year Santa gets a little confused and leaves presents at both houses. Silly Santa. We open all our presents at our house. Then we make our way over to the Grandparent's house for lunch. The kids are always suprised to find more stuff waiting there for them.

Our family goes to church on Christmas Eve. After mass, we drive around looking at Christmas lights. When we arrive at home, the kids are so excited, because they get to open one present each (to hold them over until Christmas morning). We have posole for dinner and biscochitos for dessert. We will do the same this year, however without our dog, Snoopy, who passed away yesterday. We will miss her dearly.
Wanted: Stress Relief Tips
Congratulations to mom2mom member "tsufish" who won a $50 spa gift certificate to the spa of her choice on spafinder.com for posting a stress relief tip. Here's her post:
When I need to relieve stress, I hide in the bathroom. It is the one place that the family will leave you alone for awhile. Sometimes I just lock myself in there and read a book while sitting on the floor. It's quite and peaceful. When I really need to get away, I get in the shower. With the shower on, you can't hear the knocking on the door or the kids. Then the kids go and look for their Dad to help with whatever they think they need. I have a collection of stress relieving shower gels that help. Sometimes it helps hide the crying. When I get out if no one is knocking on the door waiting , I use the coordinating lotion. Then, I go out and face the world.
