Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Schlueter Household!

Well, it seems like I just wrote a note to all of you a day ago ~ but, as with all of us ~ time flies!

We are trying to make our “own” holiday traditions ~ since we don’t have Grandma “M” Schlueter’s house to go to anymore. It is hard. We all remember going to Grandma’s with our dish to share, gift exchange gifts, some awesome and some horrible (the gifts ~ not the food), but that is what made it fun ~ stealing them from each other and then opening and seeing what we ended up with.

We had a Christmas Poem read by one of the family members, we sang Christmas songs and then ended the night with Bingo or a game of pool. We talked, laughed and spent that “quality” time that everyone says they wish they had; but no one has time for anymore.

So, this year we are hosting Christmas Eve and …show more content…
If we start getting enough people ~ maybe we can bring back those special traditions of exchanging a small gift, singing some songs, saying a prayer, playing games and just enjoying each other’s company. We always eat at 1:00 p.m. on Christmas ~ and I am guessing we will eat at 6ish on Christmas Eve. (Since this is the first time….I am winging it).

While I am being sentimental ~ this is Cody’s senior year and Rachel’s 8th grade year. I can’t believe how fast our children have grown. Am I having a heard time letting go?? You bet! I am holding on very tightly and they both may say I am suffocating them; but at least they know they are loved! HA!

So, keep the end of May or the first part of June open as we will be celebrating Cody’s graduation at our home. (Date is undetermined due to the lovely Illinois weather).

Well, I have ramble enough, but just want to say, “Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and an awesome New year” Thank you for being in our

    I have participated as a co-chair for this year’s Holiday office Luncheon. Just before Thanksgiving, a co-worker and I were just mentioning how we cannot believe this year is almost over.

At lunch that after we began brainstorming ideas to make the holiday a little more fun in the days leading up to the office party. We decided on about four activities that would be fun and most would want to participate…

    Angelas Ashes essay

    I will never forget the Christmas when I was 14 years old. The whole day was so wonderful and exciting. We had to wake up and unwrap presents early because my father was working that day so everyone woke up at 5:00 AM. After all the presents were given out, everyone said was saying goodbye to my father and went back to sleep. At 9:00 AM, we had to wake up to clean the house because we have “Christmas Brunch” every other year where my whole family comes to have a meal. My mom has a total of 5 brothers and sisters. And they all came with their families, which included their kids and some of their kids even have children. So, at my house, there was a rough total of about fifty family members for the brunch. The food that we ate on this day was unbelievably and utterly amazing. Most of the types of food that we devoured were Polish and German cultural foods, which are the two major nationalities in my family. There was fried Polish sausage with sautéed onions. They were a perfect combination of saltiness to sweetness. Then there were some sweet and creamy pecan rolls that my grandmother used to make all the time, but unfortunately I could not have one since I am allergic to nuts. Then to top all of those foods, there were all different sorts of pierogi. There were the family favorite potato pierogi, the sweet cheese pierogi, and then there were the blueberry pierogi which are my favorite. Those foods were the three items that we mostly ate at the brunch. All the adults would be either drinking coffee, soda, or some alcoholic beverages and for me my favorite thing to drink: Polish carbonated water.…

    A Christmas Tradition that the family has is to decorate the house all together (inside and out) and they all stay up together until the house is finished. Another tradition is that they have a big family dinner on Christmas Eve and the family stays up until midnight and each of them open one gift until the next day. A final tradition that this family has is their New Year’s tradition: on New Year’s Day, the family spends the whole day together and they play board games and watch movies as a…

    Comparing Thanksgiving, New Years, And Los Tres Reyes Magos

    I would hand each person a cup with 12 grapes and apple cider because it´s a tradition we always do or what I tend to keep since I´m basically the only one who believes in it. We eat the same food and when its New Years we then eat our grapes, say our wishes and we hug each other and say,¨Feliz Anos Nuevo¨ and our parents would say ¨Te amo.¨ Later after all the hugging, we do what we were doing and hang out with our cousins because it´s only in special occasions when they come. It´s also a tradition to celebrate Los Tres Reyes Magos.…

    Personal Narrative: The Last Coming Of Age

    Every christmas was the same we would eat dinner together, open presents and then my mom and dad would leave us watching tv for the night while they went to have a good time. My brother and i used to love this we would cover in a giant blanket and watch cartoon movies in fact these are some of my best and most beautiful memories it was so peaceful. But as we got older and my mom and dad split we began to want to stay with them during the holidays but they would always go their separate ways to have a “good time”. As time went on we never spent it all together we either spent it with my mom or dad but, it still wouldn't matter cuz ma oldest brother was in haiti. When i got to the end of eighth grade and my brother came back we had one of the most memorable christmas ever not because of presents cause there was none it was they way we spent the night. There was the usual family dinner but it was later at night because my mom worked in the morning after desert eryone was lazy so we left the chores and all went to watch tv without even noticing we were all laughing and sharing our personal lives with each other and after we all fell asleep together in the living room. I don't think my family did but i realize that everything we did got the family back together not physically but emotionally, and every time i look back on that christmas i makes me remember everything my family has gone…

    Reflective Essay On The Difference Between Thanksgiving And Turkey

    During Christmas, my mom makes either pozole or tamales. This year she made pozole. It was really good and it had a good taste because my mom added a lot of red chiles. She either buys soda or makes ponche served hot, because of the weather we have during this time. We stay up until midnight and then we open our presents. Sometimes before its midnight, like around 8 or 9, we go to my aunts house for an hour or two and they give my family and I some presents which they want us to open early so we do. I sometimes make or buy cookies and give some to my cousins and my aunt. Then we go home around 10 or 11 and we stay up until midnight where we open out…
