Monday Musings

What family traditions or customs would you most like to see preserved? I love the things we do around Christmastime: Christopher brings in the tree and we get lots of pine needles everywhere setting it up. We trim it while drinking cocoa with gobs of marshmallows...but as soon as the cocoa's gone, so are my Christmas elves. It's ok though; I love putting on my classical Christmas CD and decorating the rest of the house til late and when they all wake up--it's truly Christmastime! We make a gingerbread house each year, daily picking away at the candy roof and frosting icicles. We go to Leavenworth (ok we only did it one year, but we decided to make it a tradition). And we put out the nativity scene my mom gave me from when I grew up, except "hiding" the baby Jesus until he appears on Christmas morning.
What do you feel is the least attractive part of the body? Important note: this question clearly says "the body" not "your body". Just so you realize that I'm not taking this to a personal level...ahem. So I'd have to go with either feet (you rarely see good-looking ones) or ears (they are just wierd when you really look at them).
What keeps you awake at night? Why? (This could be worries, recurring thoughts, pain or any other distraction. Read into this any way you wish.) Frequently parenting issues, or how I "blew it" in some parenting situation that I could've handled better or should've handled at all.
