Manic Monday #14

1. What family traditions or customs would you most like to see preserved?
   
   There are a lot more traditions than those associated with the holidays, but it's November, so those are the first ones that come to mind. I've thought a lot about what traditions from each of our families that I'd like to pass on to our kid, and about ones that I'd like to establish for our family. These include:
   • Snuggling on the couch with hot chocolate or eggnog or somesuch, listening to the Nutcracker Suite, watching the Christmas tree - especially on the first night that it's decorated
   • Driving around looking at Christmas lights
   • Gathering with family for Christmas dinner and gifts
   • Buying gifts for an "Angel Tree" kid
   • Our annual Christmas party with friends
   • Christmas stockings for everyone - adults included
   • Several traditional Christmas dishes from each of our moms


2. What do you feel is the least sexy part of the body?
   The elbow.


3. What keeps you awake at night? Why?
   You mean besides BigGaloot jumping on our bodies as we sleep? Sometimes I am kept awake fretting about any number of things - work, money, baby plans, baby money, work after the baby, making money while working after the baby, you get the gist. Other times, I just think about a lot of things as I'm going to sleep. These days, it's generally baby things.
