Doing the 12 Days of Christmas for a neighbor.
ReplyDeleteOne of our family traditions is to read the Nativity story on Christmas Eve & open jammies to wear!
ReplyDeleteWe have a pickle ornament that we hide on the tree. The person to find it gets a small gift.
ReplyDeleteOne of our favorite traditions is driving around the neighborhood to see all of the Christmas lights right before opening our presents on Christmas Eve. There's a neighborhood near us where they really have a tradition of going totally all-out with the lights and decorations. Each year they seem to top themselves all over again. Thanks for the chance to win! gwtwred@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteWe always decorate sugar cookies- I don't always make them, I cheat and buy them, but the decorating is the fun part! Then the kids arrange a plate of cookies to leave out for Santa with a few carrots for a reindeer snack.
ReplyDeleteI always celebrate Saint Nicholas Day with little gifts for my co-workers.
ReplyDeleteMine is a new tradition, but we will do it every year now. You find, purchase and collect 24 Holiday themed books and wrap them all individually. Put them in a basket or "wrapped with holiday paper" box that's open on the top, and have the kids pick one each night to read.
ReplyDeleteWe also watch Elf every year on Christmas Eve.
Getting a new ornament every year was one of my favorite traditions growing up and is now with my kids. I especially like them when they have some fun memory attached to them. Like this years ornament will be sea shells we collected from our CA trip a couple months ago, another year it was crystals we dug up ourselves on a trip to MT. Such fun to look back. Then when the kids get married and have their own trees (that'll never happen, my babies can't grow up), they'll take their ornaments to de orate their own tree with.
ReplyDeleteThis is a silly one, but we always watch The Shining after opening presents and waiting for the food on Christmas day.
ReplyDeleteGetting new jammies for Christmas. We open them on Christmas Eve and we all have new jammies to wear to bed. I buy them for my kids and my mum still buys them for me and I am 44 :)
ReplyDeleteOur family also has a seafood feast tradition and every Christmas Eve means my mom's seafood risotto, crab, clams and other goodies galore. I seriously look forward to it all year long.
Our favourite Christmas tradition is to write a Christmas letter to include with our Christmas cards but ... It seems in our family sending them very last minute also seems part of our tradition ! Lol thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteMy boys LOVE their Lego advent calendars!!!!
ReplyDeletewhat? where? Mine would love this!
DeleteWe love ours too! They're amazing, check amazon.
DeleteOne of my favourite memories from childhood is being allowed to stay up for Midnight Mass (which WAS at Midnight in those days)and seeing the statue of the Baby Jesus brought in procession to the manger accompanied by carol singing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win.
One of my favourite traditions is preparing all the vegetables on Christmas eve with my mum and dad, while listening to Christmas music :)
ReplyDeleteA tradition I cherish I did with my momma as a child... that I now do with my son, get some clear circular ornaments and some favorite photos-cut them into circles, roll them up and insert them into the ornament to decorate the tree with. I remember my favorite part was adding glitter or gems/beads inside before closing them and hanging them. My momma taught me to be crafty at an early age:)
ReplyDeleteour christmas tradition is to prepare reindeer food and food for santa . we spread the reindeer food outside and leave a plate of cookies and a drink of water for santa, on christmas eve.
ReplyDeleteOn Christmas Eve, sipping homemade eggnog and enjoying special treats, opening our Christmas pj's and spending a wonderful evening with my wonderful family!
ReplyDeleteEveryone gets new pjs on Christmas eve. On Christmas morning, we have a birthday cake (or more recently birthday brownies) and sing "happy birthday" to Jesus.
ReplyDeleteWe started a new tradition last year, after taking this class. One instructor shared how each year she took a photograph of her Christmas cards next to her completed envelopes. I LOVED the idea. Now we have a photo that captures our cards, the Christmas stamp, and my handwriting.
ReplyDeletelove this too!

ReplyDeleteTraditions are memories, and they can live on for generations! Thank you for sharing yours.
One of our Christmas traditions is we have advent boxes that have a little treat or activity leading up to Christmas. We also give our kids new Christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve.
ReplyDeleteMy husband collects quirky magazine clippings and other artwork that he uses as tags on my kids' gifts. He's done it for years now and it is the most cherished of our christmas traditions.
ReplyDeleteWhen I figured out that Santa Claus could not possibly deliver presents to all of the children in the world in one night, my loving mother let me be Santa's helper and arrange the presents for the younger children under the tree before I went to bed on Christmas Eve. It made Christmas even more special for me.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas tradition is sitting in front of the fireplace with cozy pj's, hot cocoa, and reading stories with the kids before bedtime Christmas Eve.
ReplyDeleteI remember taking a flashlight to bed on Christmas eve so I could sneak out and see what Santa brought me before everyone else woke up.
ReplyDeletewhat a fantastic giveaway; i think our favorite tradition is headin' out to a local tree farm and pick out our christmas tree. we have pictures of every year and it is so fun to see how the kids have grown.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was small, my mom and dad would load us 4 girls into the car on Christmas Eve and go for a drive to see "the lights". Then after an hour or so of driving, we would come home and open presents.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite memory of Christmas is spending time with our families, it is hecktic to say the least but that is the best thing about the holidays all the bustle and hustle.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite tradition is our traditional Trinidadian brunch on Christmas Day. I wold love to take this class, thank you so much for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI think pitting up the christmas tree is my fave christmas tradition! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteChristmas Eve service, followed by gift opening, fireplace blazing, drinks and goodies and family all around
ReplyDeleteWe enjoy reading Jotham's Journey (a suspenseful, daily, Christian advent story) and hanging the ornaments on our advent calendar.
ReplyDeleteOn Christmas morning reading Luke 2 and then opening gifts in our pajamas.
ReplyDeleteOne of our family traditions is getting the girls together to do a day of baking. Always so much fun and yummy!!
ReplyDeleteI'm always excited to bring the Christmas decorations down so that we can drink coffee in our Christmas cups for a couple of weeks. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance.
Every year I snap a group photo using the timer to document all the company we had that day!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas tradition is that we go to Disneyland at Christmas time and take a family picture. It's not always in the same place in the park, but it's always a Disney Christmas picture. Thank you for the chance to win this great class!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tradition in Christmas is that we will design a t-shirt for all the family member and when we celebrate the Christmas, we will use this T-shirt
ReplyDeleteOur kids are still young, so we're trying out different traditions each year to see which stick! So far, one that we've done each year is making a family thumbprint ornament.
ReplyDeleteOne tradition that we enjoy very much is going to see ICE! This is going to be our third year. I already got the tickets! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMy current favorite holiday tradition is our "Elf on the Shelf". Having our own special scout elf visit us each year has been SO exciting! This awesome tradition really helps me get into the Christmas spirit, which makes the holidays even more exciting for my 2 little boys :)
ReplyDeleteOne of our favorite traditions is picking out the Christmas tree. LOVE the way a fresh tree makes our house smell.
ReplyDeleteOne of our favorite traditions is to hide a "glass pickle" (yes literally a pickle...)on our Christmas Tree. Whoever is the first to find the pickle's hiding spot wins a special prize. It's so silly...The kids love it! xo Leisa Matheson
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday tradition is putting up the tree - always the first weekend in December. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tradition is watching my husband put up over 20,000 lights and over 10 air blowups plus all his decorations for the kids and now decorating for the grandkids..... This year he broke his foot and has our youngest helping him and I just love this tradition because it keeps the family closeness with the busy holidays.
ReplyDeleteMint hot cocoa!
ReplyDeleteWe have a wonderful advent calendar made by my husband's aunt that the kids take turns putting the baby Jesus on (have to write a note annually so we know whose turn it is next year!). It's always so exciting to start the countdown.
ReplyDeleteFabulous stuff! Thanks for the chance to win! My favorite December tradition is when my kids wear the Christmas tree skirt! It is priceless and I could probably make a whole mini album about this incredibly hilarious tradition!
