Hi fellow crewmates! Do you want me to call you , or should I think of something else? Tell me in the comments! Anyway, this post is about the holidays I celebrate and some things we do to celebrate these holidays.
Some holidays my family celebrates are Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Easter. For Christmas we put blow ups and lights in our front lawn and a wreath on our door. We also decorate our christmas trees, hang stockings over the fireplace, bake cookies, and do other christmas activities! We also put candles (that are fake because real ones are too dangerous!) in our windows. We each (and by each I mean me and my brothers) have our own nutcracker, and we also have an Elf on the Shelf! His name is Jimmy, and no, we did not buy him. Fun fact; on a Sunday a couple of years ago we heard a noise by our front door. We didn’t see anyone nearby and my family was inside. We saw in the box an elf and a book. We opened up the half of the box with the book readed it, and the next day the elf was gone, or so we thought. We remembered the book saying that he likes to hide and we found him on our christmas tree! We love looking for him around Christmas and are sad when he leaves Christmas night, but we always look forward to seeing him next year!
For Halloween we also put blow ups and lights in our front yard. We carve pumpkins, and put cool decorations around the house. We don’t go that crazy on Halloween like we do on christmas, but we have some cool stuff. On Thanksgiving, we normally go to my cousins’ house, but this year we didn’t because there are a LOT of people there and, you know, COVID. For Easter, no blow ups. (at least not yet anyway.) We put up some decorations, and we go to my grandma’s house. Nothing that crazy on Easter.
Hope you learned some things about me! Don’t forget to tell me if you guys like being called crewmates, and tell me in the chat if you have a better name for y’all. Also tell me if you want a shout out in my next post! Anyway, what holidays do YOU celebrate and what you do on those holidays?! Please leave your link or someone else’s is blog link in the comments! Here is the Christmas countdown!! Have a good day or night, and happy holidays!

Hi Orange Boat Captain –
I like your colorful post and Christmas tree drawing. Thanks for sharing more about your family’s holiday traditions. It sounds like Jimmy is quite mischievous around Christmas, which must be loads of fun for the entire family. Our family has similar decorations to you…candles in the windows, lights on the bushes and trees, lighted garland around the front porch and up the stairwell, stockings that Santa stuffs, and–new this year–a 16-foot Santa in an airplane blow-up. My family teased me about the blow-up, until arrived. It’s huge, colorful, and a such a positive presence in our front yard. I think I’ll switch to red and white lights and a Valentines blow-up to keep the bright lights burning. 🙂
Happy 2021!
Mrs. Rombach
