Michigan Traditions

For the December issue of Better Homes and Gardens, David Land traveled to Grand Rapids Michigan to photograph some of the Bengtson family traditions.  The holidays are always like that - bringing out the collection of family ornaments, whipping up a batch of that long-familiar egg nog, trying to keep the roof from sliding off the top of the gingerbread house (usually its better to do that before the egg nog).  Falling back into those comfortable patterns of family life and reflecting on the past year.  Can you tell that we're already dreaming of a Christmas Eve in front of the fire?  Not sure how we're going to get any work done this week...
