the sleepover

or under, if you want to be correct.
I tried to come up with many new traditions this year, ones to test out and see if they would stick and become permanent holiday traditions. This one was a keeper.

We had a big family camp out under the tree. We took our bean bag chair and all our couch cushions, all of our blankets and pillows and made the biggest softest bed under our tree. We sat and watched The Grinch and fell asleep under the twinkle lights. The boys didn't want to sleep in their beds again. I can't say that I blame them... there's something magical about the twinkle lights.
