My family is a nontraditional blended family, but then again aren't they all. My two girls are adopted, and we are in the process of adopting 3 more children. All of our children have been adopted as toddlers, so creating traditions within our new family has been a huge part of making the holidays our own. Some of the traditions that we do are ones that our children came with, with a little twist of their new family added into it, and others are traditions that we have chosen to do as a family. Keeping the children's pasts and their futures in all of our family tradtions has made the Holiday's a time that we not only look forward to, but a time of great bonding. How are you guys handling your bleneded families this Holiday season, will you be celebrating the holidays on nontraditonal dates so that everyone can be home or will you be waiting to hold off on certain tradtions until later in the day when everyone can be together?
