Christmas Traditions that HAVE to Stay

I am silly about some of my quirky traditions.  This one is a total keeper.  I wasn't going to let any arrangements of Christmas Day stop us from having our crescents.  I ended up making two batches a few days apart.  SO, SO, SO good.  

 I had tried to make some Christmas Jam, kind of make shift like.  My own recipe instead of Dad's.  It didn't work.  Mostly because I failed to follow the directions of even my version.  "The sugar goes in last...!! CRAP...!!" But, you can't screw up sugar and fruit in the taste area. (Well, some people can, ask Isaac)  So, even though my jam didn't set up, it is fantastic mixed with some cream cheese.  Thus, the traditional crescent dipping 'stuff'.  I took some to a friend's house and their little girl was eating it with a fork.

Then once the house began to fill back up, I got the ham in the oven.  I love me some Christmas Ham.

All in total we ate pretty well for Christmas.
