in lieu of letters to santa...

so, boone's mom LOVES a tradition. LOVES them. She has them for all holidays, but christmas is the one where she feels super strongly about them. their family eats the same meals on christmas day (beignets) and christmas eve (soup) every year, they bake a birthday cake for jesus (so fun and sweet!) they watch a charlie brown christmas, and they ALWAYS fill out the harris poll on thanksgiving. the harris poll is basically and really fun way to write a christmas list...plus it's a neat way for us to reflect on the year and share things about ourselves with the rest of the family.
every year the poll asks different questions, and this year, because we're not going back to NC for christmas, we took the poll early so we could take our gifts to NC when we go. i thought you might enjoy seeing the questions and asking them of yourself. happy reflection!
