For me, it's always opening stockings first. No matter what there was enticing us under the tree, it's always been a tradition to open our stockings first. Another tradition associated with the stocking is that it usually contains some socks and underwear.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 365 of 365Decorating the tree is my favorite tradition at Christmas time, each year I buy a different ornament for my tree, love these days! =)
Fabulous giveaway! thanks for the chance! ♥
My favorite traditon has been the Christmas Eve Open House I have had for the past seven or so years. I make a bunch of food and beverages and invite people to stop by on their way to last minute shopping or wrapping or church. I make a big pitcher of sangria and sit around all day with family and friends...it is awesome!
My favorite tradition is decorating the tree while drinking hot coco (with Baileys and whipped cream!) And don't forget all the classic Christmas songs!
I love love Christmas! Our famly tradition is that we can open our stockings as soon as we wake up but the main presents have to wait until the Christmas lunch is in the oven - we all muck in and although I'm 38, my mum still does me a stocking!!
We always open our stockings first as well. We use to drive around and look at lights on Christmas Eve while growing up. Little did we know, that was when "Santa" would come!
opening presents on Christmas morning :) love the happy smiles on the kids' faces.
My favorite tradition is opening one gift at a time starting with the youngest family member to the oldest. So much fun to see what gifts everyone got!
I love waking on Christmas morning & going downstairs with my parents. I give out all the gifts from under the tree then we take turns opening them while Chrismas music plays in the background. It's still the most magical part of the day for our family.
One of my favorite things to do during the holidays is make coconut bonbons with my college aged son. He loves helping me make these and we enjoy the time together.
My favorite holiday tradition has always been Christmas dinner. We used to celebrate with two other families and it was always so much fun. We'd alternate who hosted each year. Now the tradition has changed slighty. Now it is just my immediate family and all of our spouses and children. It has taken on a whole new meaning watching our kids get excited about all the Christmas season has to offer.
My favorite as a little kid, and now as mom is making sugar cookies and decorating them to leave out for Santa. Who does love a little flour mess mixed with sprinkles and frosting?
I love decorating the tree with my family! Jessica D. - info(at)funkyfinds(dot)us
My favorite is going to Christmas Mass at 10:30 p.m. It's so beautiful with the music and the candles. Joyful.
Finding the hidden Pickle in the tree is our family Chirstmas tradition. Each family member take turns finding the picle ornament in the tree and the winner gets an additional gift...LOVE it! Thanks for the awesome chance to win:)
Having Christmas Breakfast with The Hubbums on Christmas morning! I love it!!!
My favorite tradition is making Christmas cookies with my kids each year.
What a cool give away. I am hoping I get picked this time.

Going to the Carol Service at Winchester Cathedral. The choir is superb and it makes us feel really christmassy!! Sharon peters
Always a family tradition of decorating our tree together! We love to open stockings first too!
My favorite holiday tradition is our family dinner on Christmas Eve. We always have the same special meal items and it's the only time of year we are all together in the same place. It's truly a special time.
Ours is setting up the Christmas tree. I end up doing all the work but that's ok :D The kids get to hang their special ones on the tree.
taking two weeks off of work to be with my kids!
Getting out the decorations....tree, lights, Santas. Love it all! Each one has a story.
There are so many things, but I have to say the 'Surf & Turf' dinner at my moms stands out the most at the moment - we don't do traditional - steak & lobster or steak & crab for our Christmas... maybe I'm just hungry - ha!
My favorite tradition is get together as a family and have a little "meeting" talking about what Christmas is, what we really celebrate during that very special holiday. That is the most special moment for me!!!

we let our kids open one gift the night before...it's actually my in-laws tradition that we've brought to our family...it's starts the excitement lead-in to the next morning...i love watching them decide which to choose!!
we've got a lot of family traditions but one i really love is the christmas "JAR" tradition we have. all year long my entire extended family keeps their change and saves it in jars. then on christmas eve we drop the jar off at someones home who is in need of it, anonymously. like the Christmas Jars book by: Jason F. Wright. it helps us think of others all year round. i really enjoy this tradition.
Love Elle's Studio!
My favorite Christmas tradition involves a little set of bells that were given to my mom by her grandmother when she was young.
The bells are little angels each holding a letter, and when they sit side by side they spell out "Noel."
My sisters and I used to fight over whose turn it was to set the bells out on the mantel and one year when it was my turn I set them all out carefully. Maybe because I am left handed, I had set them up backwards so that they spelled "leoN."
Now every year when my mom displays them, she purposely sets them that way. We call them the Leon angels.
:)
My Fave tradition is Going and getting our tree as a family and having coffee and doughnuts while we are there.
Great givaway.
this is silly, but M&M lights and figures have become a tradition in our home since being gifted with them six years ago. I have enough M&M Guys to make a nativity! And they are something I don't mind if the kids break or loose or just carry all over the house.
My favourite tradition is going to a Christmas Market in Germany if I get the chance. The smell of these markets is just so nice and who could resist Bratwurt & mulled wine during a cold & crisp evening.
Love Elle's Studio & cannot wait for reveal...
Thanks for this great opportunity! I love these items! I have a lot of traditions. One is making a gingerbread house every Christmas. Also watching It's a Wonderful Life every Christmas Eve after we get home from the festivities!!!
We also open our stockings first. But my favourite Christmas tradition is new Christmas jammies! I even did a layout about it last year - of course!
I love Christmas baking, it truly is something I look forward to all year. It isn't Christmas if there aren't beautifully iced sugar cookies, peanut butter chocolate fudge, or crescent rolls -- YUMM!
My other favorite tradition about Christmas is that no matter what time you wake up Christmas morning you can open your stocking. You have to wait until everyone else is awake for presents (unless of course there are presents Santa as left just for you unwrapped under the tree).
Only 58 days till Christmas!
reading twas the night before christmas on christmas eve
I would have to say my most favorite holiday tradition would be the dinner that we have every year with my dad's side of the family at his home, opening gifts, celebrating together... Christmas wouldn't be the same without it!
I have an advent calendar every year. It's such a great tradition even though I've grown up!
We usually have our parents and siblings with their families over for Christmas Eve dinner and it's great fun. But what I look forward to is our quiet time together as husband and wife after dinner, in our room, to exchange gifts for each other.
I love picking out an advent calendar every year. Even though I've grown up I love the excitement of opening those little doors every morning.
As I have lots of children we made a tradition years ago that they have a secret santa...we put all their names in a hat and then they each pick a name out and have to buy a present for that person (£5 in total)...that way it doesn't cost them too much, thay can have fun choosing a present and they also have fun trying to guess who is buying for them! We usually allow them to open their secret Santa presents on Christmas Eve....I love Christmas! xx
That's so funny, that is also a tradition at our home, where socks and underwear are found uniquely disguised in the Christmas Stocking.
Thank you so much for an opportunity to share and to win an awesome pkg.
Blessings!
Gail
My favorite tradition would have to be decorating the tree. We have many special ornaments that we always enjoy hanging on the tree each year.
My favorite tradition is picking a seasonal play or concert and attending with family, followed by a lovely dinner out where we simply enjoy the day together with no stress.
We go shopping at the Mall of America the day after Thanksgiving.
We all get new pj's to wear on Christmas Eve. Then we open one gift! fun stuff!
Ou family tradition is to decorate the house and the tree together. It's such a magic time when the house gets transformed. That's really when the holidays start for me.
As my daughter will be 15 months old by Christmas we planned to do the whole preparing for Father Christmas thing, including some icing sugar and glitter to represent the "snow" that Father Christmas has left behind.
In 1998 I started a Christmas season scrapbook. My eleven year old daughter was only one at the time. Two years later, my second daughter Jessie was born. I jave had so much fun looking thru the Christmas season book and reflecting on just how blessed our family really is! And... how beautiful our little girls are growing up!
I always look forward to shopping for anything gingerbread related! I am a huge collector/hoarder of all things gingy, and it's the only time of the year I can shop for them :)
My family has so many traditions, it's hard to narrow down. I do love going to Midnight mass and celebrating that late. As a kid, it was always so hard to stay up that late, but now I enjoy the spirit of the day.
The tradition I always look forward to is watching "It's a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart & "The Wizard of Oz", of which my husband knows every single line. He does a great wicked witch!!
Definitely putting out the cookies and writing the Santa letter! The girls get so excited for that each year!
My tradition is to pack those bags and park ourselves on a beach in front of an ocean on the sand. I can't remember having a non-palm tree xmas. Its great!!!
My favorite tradition is baking pies, because I used to bake with my grandmother, who passed away one month before I got married. I carry on the tradition.
Baking treats to give away! Love the smell of baked goods coming out of the oven!
We have a family tradition passed down from the Catholic side of the family that celebrates St. Nicholas Day. "St. Nick" puts small gifts and treats in the stockings during the night of Dec. 6th. He was a very wealthy man in the 3rd century who spent all his money helping the needy. (the original tradition was to put food for his horses in your shoes, hoping he would change them out for gifts, but we do the stocking thing now.) It is a very fun way to get in the Holiday mood early in the month!
Since my Mom is German, we always do Christmas on Christmas Eve. It works out nicely now that I'm married...my Mom on Christmas Eve, family Christmas morning and Husband's family on Christmas Day!
Making Gingerbread houses. Each year they get better and better with more detail!
Opening one present christmas eve, and its always comfy pajamas!
One of our holiday traditions is to bake cookies and lots of them! We package up some and the kids bring them to our neighbor's house usually the week before Christmas when they are home from school! What fun and it's great to see the neighbor's smiles :)
My favorite holiday tradition is the prayer before we sit down and eat...and then everyone goes around the table and tells at least one thing they are greatful for...it's really cute to hear what the little ones say!
My favorite tradition is getting out the "Elf on the Shelf". My son LOVES waking up every morning to see were the elf hid next and I love seeing the look on his face once he finds him!
I love traditions. We also always go thru the stockings first. Drive around the neighborhood to look at lights, drink lots of hot chocolate with marshmallow, watch Christmas-y movies (Elf, Charlie Brown Christmas Tree, The Santa Clause, etc), sit around the family room with only the Christmas tree lights on, and many more!! I love the holidays. =)

a new pair of pj's to sleep in on christmas eve for my kids (my mom started it when I was a kid). Also watching which ornaments my kids pick out each year and remembering each one as we decorate the tree - the stories they may not remember but we do! I love it!

i share the same 'open the stocking first' favorite as others. (my mom still stuffs a stocking for me even though i don't live there anymore and am nearly 40 years old < grin >). i have great memories of sitting around with my family and cups of cocoa, christmas music playing, sifting through the fun little gifts hung on the fireplace... and now that i have a little one of my own, we're sure to keep that tradition (plus add some new ones of our own)
The tradition that seems to carry on with me is always having a cuppa before I open anything on xmas morn, regardless of how eager I am to wrip open the shiny paper under the tree.
Hello
My favorite Christmas tradition is to cook a lot of little funny cookies for my friend, my family and my children !!! (and for me of course...)
Love getting together with family and yeah...definitely LOVE the stockings!!
My favorite holiday traditions are watching the classics together: It's A Wonderful Life on Christmas Eve, Miracle on 34th Street on Thanksgiving, White Christmas during the holiday season, The Grinch... Oh yes, On New Year's Eve we have a marathon movie night - all three episodes of Back to the Future!!
My favorite tradition would be definitely baking and putting out the cookies & milk for Santa!
I also love the traveling elf and my kids wondering where he will turn up. So much holiday fun & memories.
We always get to open one gift on Christmas Eve. The kids inevitable always pick the biggest box, but it's usually not the best gift.
I love love stockings! Me and the hubbs always go creative and crazy with them!
oh my favorite holiday tradition is a new one and all mine! lol
I get a Starbucks Peppermint Mocha and then spend the afternoon, photographing holiday things around my house, trees, lights etc... Its a great day for me and I love spending this time every year as a tradition!
driving around to see all the christmas lights :)
My fav holiday tradition is baking this particular bread recipe that we all (the women of the family) make every year. I only just started this last year, because I was super intimidated by baking in the past. But my mom made it all through my childhood and it reminds me so much of her. Well it does for all of us. :D Thanks for the chance to win these awesome things from Elle's Studio! They were on my to-get list anyway!
My favourite holiday tradition is playing crokinole (after Christmas dinner and throughout the holidays).
I love Christmas! We have always cut down our own tree and have a favorite place to go where they serve cookies and hot cocoa and we usually pick up a new ornament for the tree while we are there!
OMW! those are awesome....my fave tradition is the pickle on the tree! love it. i think it is my fave b/c it is the first tradition we started as our own family versus traditions with our parents...makes it special.
Gathering friends for gingerbread house building at out house. It turns into a big holiday party with lots of sugared-up kids.
for us it is definitely going to get our tree and doing the decorating...our daughter is 16 and still looks forward to doing this every year :)
My favorite holiday tradition is opening the gifts from my hubby on Christmas Eve right after Santa has come and the kids are tucked away in bed. It's such a nice,sweet time with just the two of us!
putting up the tree is definately on the top of the list for me!
Making candy and sweets to give to our friends. I make it and they help package it up in cute containers and then we drive and deliver each one. Love it!! And love Elle's!!
We always open a present at midnight, it can only be 1 and it is chosen by the person who is giving it, usually its a book or pyjamas or something that can be made use of immediately
My favorite tradition is on Christmas Eve we have a special dinner at our house for family. All the kids get to open one gift from under the tree!
Thanks,
Cindy
My favorite holiday tradition starts on Thanksgiving, when we start to decorate for Christmas! There are so many others, but this is my favorite because it's our official countdown to Christmas!

Great giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win!
One of my favorite traditions that I started after my first child was born was giving Christmas PJ's on Christmas Eve to wear to bed!
My favorite tradition is getting to pick one present from under the tree and opening it on Christmas Eve. Sometimes you pick an AWESOME one...and sometimes you pick socks.
=D
our advent countdown box :) My DD LOVES that everyday to see what activity we will do everyday!
In our family all of the kids have to line up on the stairs in order of age. No going down stairs until everyone is awake! Then stockings first and then everyone opens one present at a time. It takes a while but everyone gets to see what the other gets and even take a little break to play. Now that my kids are a little older, we take a little break for food and the present opening takes even longer--but we love the time together
My favorite tradition is baking Christmas cookies with my family. Eating them isn't bad either....

Our favorite holiday tradition is to always have green bean casserole with our Christmas dinner. My son married into a Greek family and now they are eating green bean casserole at Christmas dinner with us. Christmas dinner wouldn't be the same without it.
Terrie
My favorite tradition our ugly ornament contest. It is hilarious and so much fun (and annoying because my sister ALWAYS wins!)
My favorite tradition is going to church on Christmas Eve with the whole family. I especially enjoy the candlelighting part of the service. It's always good to remember the "reason for the season".
new pajamas for the kids to wear on Christmas Eve. I love shopping for them and most years I have to give them out early because, why wait.
I love photo ops with all 3 boys in matching pjs.
Favourite: drinking hot chocolate with bisquits that are allowed to dip into the beverage only this special day...
Before we do anything, we get our traditional family portrait in front of the fireplace. We use the tripod and take so many shots! It's actually hysterical, because it takes us a long time to get a "good one"!!
My kids get ornaments of their own every Christmas from my husband and I and my in-laws. It's just always fun to see what ornaments we all get them every year. We even put up a tree just for their ornaments. They have quite a collection started!
My favorite tradition is going out to look at all the decorations on Christmas Eve
My favorite new tradition is spending Christmas Eve with my husband's family... they have prime rib dinner, watch A Christmas Story, read the Christmas Story, and open presents. It is one of those warm, fuzzy, magical Christmas traditions.
My favorite Christmas tradition is Advent calendars. I'm 22 but my mom insists on filling them every day during the season. Who am I to complain, I still love getting the goodies everyday.
In our family, opening stockings & other little gifts from Santa comes first too! Growing up we always found an orange in our stocking...and that tradition continues.
My favourite traditions are leaving a drink and Mince Pie out for Santa and a carrot for the Reindeer and also watching 'It's a Wonderful Life on Christmas Eve.
My favourite holiday tradition is finding an orange in the end of my stocking, making gingerbread houses, and baking gingerbread cookies. Then we give batches of our cookies to the homeless.
We also open stockings first, plus the kids get new jammies on Christmas eve.
I love watching the black and white version of A Christmas Carol on Christmas Eve with my husband (when the kids are in bed).
Stockings first on Christmas morning.As a child we never had stockings so I love this.
Every year we buy an ornament representing something special in our life that year.
Every year I get my son a snowglobe.
On Thanksgiving we watch the Macy's Christmas parade.I did this when I was a child while my mom prepared the dinner.
Christmas morning after our son opens his presents I make breakfast for my parents.
We do stockings first too! But I look forward to the yummy food!
Having birthday cake and telling the Christmas Story on Christmas eve!! Very special times!!!
My favourite tradition is opening up presents at midnight on the 24th. Why wait until 6 am on the 25th when you can do it 6 hours earlier?!
My favorite holiday tradition is making reindeer food with my daughter and then watching as carefully and lovingly sprinkles it over the front yard.
Last year was the first year for us to go out to a tree farm and cut our own tree. It was so beautiful out there! They had beautiful barns, hot apple cider and cocoa, a petting zoo! Definitely a great tradition started!
For the past several years, we have also woken up Christmas morning and opened presents at our house, just the four of us. Then, we head over to my Mom's house for a HUGE Christmas brunch! And I'm talking about eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, biscuits&gravy, fruit, french toast....and so on and so on! Definitely one of my favorite traditions!
A holiday tradition for us is to display all the holiday cards that we receive on top of our kitchen cabinets...we've got an open kitchen, so anyone coming into our family room can see them all lined up - so pretty! Reaching out to friends and family across the globe is an important part of the holidays for us, and it's become my favorite tradition to see all that love coming right back to us! :D
Thanks for the chance to win!
having a sleep over christmas eve night at my parents...who cares that i am 26, married with a baby :) ...they come to! I love my family!
Christmas morning BIG breakfast after opening gifts!
Cinnamon rolls, yuuummm...
My favorite tradition is making chocolates (and other sweets) with my grandma, mom, and sister the weekend before Christmas. We spend two whole days in the kitchen chatting, baking, mixing, melting, rolling, molding, and whatever else you can think of to make all sorts of goodies. We then make plates and deliver them to our neighbors. I can't wait!!
my favorite holiday tradition is.... oh there are SO many that i love, but I absolutely LOVE carving pumpkins, it kicks off the whole big holiday season: from October to January!!
Our family favorite tradition - decorating the Christmas tree and drinking hot cocoa while gazing at beautiful tree. Can't wait for Christmas!!
My favorite holiday tradition is my homemade goodie baskets - full of baked treats and candies that I provide for my friends, family and co-workers. I have created up to 60 for a given year... and although I always spend too much money - I love to give the individual packages. And my friends LOVE them too!
Each year, each one of our family members makes a "dish". We then make enough copies of the recipe for everyone in the family. We also have a contest and the best tasting dish wins a prize. We have been doing this for over 10 years and we have an amazing cookbook!
Decorating the tree, Christmas eve service and cookies. I am so looking forward to being in our first new home this holiday season.

my favourite holiday tradition is opening one small present on christmas eve, in your PJs in front of the fire. it brings the excitment to life early, and even now i find it hard to get to sleep on xmas eve after that
My favorite family tradition is the day that we make gingerbread houses. We spend the afternoon making the houses. Tons of frosting and candy everywhere. Love it. After the houses are finished we enjoy homeade soup followed by a Christmas movie. All cuddled up on the couch together. A perfect day!!!
Hubby, our daughters and I celebrate 'Christmas Adam' on the night before Christmas Eve (Dec 23) This is an evening just for the 5 of us. Our girls exchange their 'sister gifts' to each other, we go to dinner and then stop for cider or coffee before we drive around and see the Christmas lights and decorations. It's a treasured time before getting together with all the extended families and the craziness of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
My two favorite holiday traditions: decorating the tree and house, and having my mom read me (even at 27 years old) and my brother "Twas the Night Before Christmas" on Christmas Eve.
My favorite tradition is reading my son and daughter "Twas the Night Before Christmas" by the tree every Christmas Eve. My kids and I both love it.
great giveaway! one of our traditions is going around on Christmas Eve and looking at light displays!! Love that time of year!
I completely ADORE everything about Christmas! But my FAVORITE tradition is that we always choose a theme for that year's ornaments (we've had love & passion, origami, all white, birds & butterflies, sparkly glitter...) and craft it with the kids during december...
Whenever I travel, I try to bring home a very special ornament for my Christmas tree. I love to get them out during the holiday and remember all the places I've traveled.
Our favorite is getting together with family and just celebrating....for any holiday. It is always an excuse for picture taking and merry making!!!
Gathering together with my family - the best tradition ever!
Oh how I love Elle's Studio!!
Our tradition is that we always watch White Christmas on Thanksgiving evening and The Nativity Story on Christmas Eve. And of course my newest favorite tradition is my December Daily album.
Mine is the on Christmas Eve, we spend all day cooking together all kinds of appetizers and have a party in the evening. I enjoy the cooking better than the feasting.
We love to drink hot cocoa as we drive around and look at Christmas lights with Christmas music playing, in the car. We even, sometimes, wear our Christmas PJs :)
My most cherished tradition is celebrating my paternal grandparents' anniversary, on Christmas Eve. It was always a sweet, early start to the holidays. We ate chili with them for dinner because that's what they ate after their wedding...in a lil' diner. And, so we continue the tradition of remembering them and eating chili on Christmas Eve.
just me and david on christmas night, that is always the best
we have so many fun family traditions, but for me personally, I love going to Mass at midnight. The candles, singing Silent Night and being with my family...makes me feel so wonderful.
One of our favorite traditions is going hunting for the perfect Christmas tree---all 4 of us---even though my daughters are now 20 & 25, we all still go out, tromp around the tree farm in our boots & hats, often in rain gear, get muddy, & find the perfect-for-this-year-tree! Now that my oldest has her own place, she usually gets her own tree too. It has to be a real tree, not a bush-shaped-trimmed tree!
All my favorite traditions revolve around Christmas.Opening stockings first is our tradition too, another favorite is the Christmas Eve bash with family at my house and fried dough for breakfast on Christmas day....the only day of the year we eat it for breakfast! Our newest added tradition...staying home in our jammies all day and playing with the kids. We do all our visiting either before or after Christmas and NEVER on Christmas Day. That day belongs to the kids and their toys and respectfully....our jammies.
My favorite of all of our traditions is that we have roasted chestnuts on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. My Gramma and Grandpa came here from Italy and she started that tradition 50 years ago.
Taking the kids to see Santa.
My favorite tradition is waiting to open the presents after lunch on Christmas Day. We take turns to open gifts.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Josiane
I love the tradition of making cookies for Santa. We make gingerbread cookies and decorate them. Then the kids pic out their favorites and eat them and then put some on a plate for Santa. I always make a scrapbook page of these events.
Cant wait for the Holidays!
stockings first is the tradition in our family too. We love stockings in our family and they are an important part of our holiday ritual. As adults, my sister and I have taken over my parents stockings.
getting a new special ornament for each child each year and letting them put it where they want to on the tree.
My favorite tradition is making christmas cookies with my mom. I also love waking up on christmas morning & opening up our stockings...its the first thing we do too! :)
The baking of the sugar cookies and decorating are something we never miss every year. It's such a fun family activity!
And those goodies from Elle's are SERIOUSLY cute!!!
Our favorite traditions is the Christmas Eve party/dinner at my sister-in-law's with all the cousins. We end the night singing carols around the piano.
Making ornaments each year with my mom. Although we say we're not going to do it again every year, we always end up covered in glue and glitter. We have boxes full of handmade creations, and tons of memories to go along with them. :)
Christmas morning we have our own little church service down on the beach with cinnamon buns and coffee.
My favorite christmas tradition is to eat at the Chinese restuarant. Fa Ra Ra Ra Ra!
my favorite holiday tradition is making cookies with my kids, we use any holiday as an excuse...i love it!!!

My favorite tradition when I was younger was going to midnight mass then coming home for some chicken and rice soup. Now with my own family, my favorite tradition is decorating our train cake from William Sonoma.
JoAn
We sing Christmas carols in 4 part harmony (my family members are all singers)
Hmm... multiple gift-opening days. ;) And a special Christmas Eve supper with my family. :)
We have so many wonderful traditions in my family that it is hard to pick. One of our most recent and new favorites is the pairing of our daily advent calendar (with daily activities, not chocolate!) and my December Daily picture. This combo has made the last two years some of the most memorable holiday seasons!
favorite tradition is Christmas morning breakfast. Bacon and eggs, with hashbrowns. For some reason it always tastes best on Christmas morning!
Getting up Christmas morning and opening gifts gifts with our little boys! Just seeing their faces light up is awesome!
we love decorating the tree, we also decorate the house at that time. we bring out all the boxes and holiday music, and we sip hot chocolate while we decorate. it's good fun.
Opening the presents at exactly 12 midnight on Christmas eve.
What a great giveaway! I'd say my favorite tradition is opening up one gift on Christmas Eve, always pajamas, so they'll look their best for Santa. The kids know it's pj's but they're still excited to open something!
I think it was and is decorating the Christmas on Thanksgiving Evening. Happy happies.
Christmas music blasting through the house. I wait for the end of Thanksgiving so we can start listing to Christmas music again.
All the family gathering at grandmas house on christmas eve to celebrate at midnight!
