We added a new tradition to our Christmas eve dinner this year. A couple months ago a very good friend of my mom's passed away. My mom and a few other friends got together and decided to carry on a Christmas tradition of her family's in her honor. At the dinner table each person gets a candle. One person starts by taking the candle of the person to the right of them, lighting it, and saying a blessing for the person who the candle belongs. That person in turn takes the candle of the person to their right and repeats this. It goes around the table until all the candles are lite and each person has been blessed. It was a beautiful sight to have all the candles lite and you couldn't help but feel blessed.
