Ellen is a fortunate little girl. She was able to celebrate Christmas not only three times, but in three different time zones with different family members, and different traditions. 
In Boston, we had a quiet little celebration. Prior to our celebration, we experienced different traditions within the city. The day after Thanksgiving, Ellie and I headed down to see the "Enchanted Village", which is a display of animated scenes which was first installed in the 1960s in a now defunct department store. Ellie loved the displays and even the faux-snow which fell on the visitors. We also took Ellie to experience her first Tuba Christmas and to see Santa twice (see post below). For our celebration at home, Aunt Susie came over and we opened some presents. We then had a nice brunch of french toast. Ellie made out like a bandit with puzzles, a Playmobil farm house, a basketball hoop, and other fun toys! She also loved our afternoon craft project of stringing jingle bells on a ribbon, which then became her jingle necklace!
As we finally started getting cold weather in the middle of December, Ellie also got to try on her new winter coat...which she wasn't that happy about.
