17. Holiday Traditions - 24'

Send a textThe Holiday Season is one of the favorite times of year for Melissa and I. Both of our families have been farmers for generations and Melissa and I carry that tradition on today. Being we have such a background in farming, harvest in the fall is something that has always been a major part of our lives. After having planted in the spring, praying for the right balance of rain and sun, and after having tended to the crops all spring and summer, harvest has always been a welcomed reward.As a child, playing on tractors, cotton pickers, and combines was always one of my favorite things to do. But my absolute favorite thing to do was to play in the cotton wagons when they were full of those tiny white balls of cotton. I always had a couple of months in October and November to play in the wagons before they went to the cotton gin, which was always in harvest season.Harvest Season always gives way to the Holiday Season of November and December which seems to just top off such an enjoyable time for Melissa and I. Preparing for Thanksgiving and then Christmas. Starting the Holiday Season off by going to fall festivals,  decorating for Thanksgiving and then for Christmas. Having the entire family together around the Thanksgiving Table and then the Christmas Tree. During this time of year we celebrate so many family Holiday Traditions that have been carried on for generations in our family.Harvest Season and the Holiday Season are such special times of year for our family, we found it only fitting to begin sharing some of our favorite Holiday Traditions with you, our listeners.  In. this episode Melissa and I along with our Audio Engineer, Fletcher Brown will each share a couple of our favorite Holiday Traditions with you.
