    I'm finding it hard to believe that December is already here. However, I am looking forward to the season and all that it brings. I think for many of us, lots of our December memories center around annual activities and traditions. For this month's random challenge, I would like you to create a page about one of your traditions. You can use as many photos as you like, or none at all. Please include at least one line of journaling about your tradition.

    Here's my page about one of my family's favorite Christmas traditions - baking sugar cookies.

    I'm looking forward to hearing about your special traditions. Please remember to include some journaling.

    Gentle Reminder: Your page must contain at least 75% Lilypad product. Your page should be posted to the Lilypad Gallery and then linked to the December Challenge Layouts thread so it can be tracked, and to this thread.

    The Lilypad uses a percent system for our challenges; the number of challenges you participate in determines the store discount you will receive at the end of the month:

    2 challenges = 10% off
    4 challenges = 20% off
    6 challenges = 30% off

    If you complete 7 challenges, you will receive a coupon for 30% off, plus you will be entered to win a $50 gift certificate from the Lilypad! The first seven challenges will be posted on the first of the month; the eighth challenge is the BYOC challenge, which is posted on BYOC release day. Each page counts for one challenge (you cannot use one layout for multiple challenges).

    We have a tradition that is related to the holidays but takes place in November. Can I use that?

    No problem, the tradition does not have to take place in December.

    Journaling:
    When we are going to Husum it is tradition to visit Lüttmoorsiel. This is a little swimming area on the North Sea. There is also a little restaurant (closed in winter).
    At low tide, guided mudflat hiking tours can be made to the Hallig Nordstrandischmoor.

    Our tradition is my daughters- every year without fail she picks a bow from a present and puts it on her head. She wears it for hours!!
