Did your family or friends also celebrate other traditions during the holidays such as Hanukkah or Kwanzaa? Did you immigrant ancestors have holiday traditions from their native country which they retained or perhaps abandoned?
If my family had any traditions brought with them from the old country [Germany and France] they have long ago been lost and I have never learned of them.
We did not celebrate any other type of holiday traditions or celebrations during this season.
What about your family?

I really like your blog topper. It makes me think of beautiful summer days! Merry Christmas!!
My family has been in the US forever so I relate to your post too!
Thank you so much! That beautiful view at the top of my blog is taken from Turkey Cree in Monroe County, West Virginia and is facing Peter's Mountain.
I echo GeneaDiva's comments about your blog header. A beautiful photograph. Earlier this year I passed through West Virginia on a college basketball road trip to Salem, VA. Beautiful views and hope to return for a longer stay. Have enjoyed your blog posts -
