Bundling up in a warm car to drive and look at Christmas lights. While driving, listen to Christmas music...singing along...until at least 2 of the 3 kiddos fall asleep. Take them home and carry them in to their warm beds.

I host a Christmas Eve pajama dinner party each year. After dinner, I make everyone a cup of hot chocolate with a stick of peppermint and some of my homemade marshmallows. We take our drinks, load into cars, and drive around to look at everyone's Christmas decorations. Afterwards, all kids are ready to be tucked into bed and the grown-ups can do their Santa thing before falling into exhausted slumber themselves. The pajamas make it all cozy and casual.

A few years ago, instead of having a traditional Christmas dinner at my grandparents, we started having soup and hotdogs with homemade coney sauce. Odd combination, but I look forward to it.

OUr favorite tradition is putting the tree up, we make a huge ta-da over it the kids get all excited and they know once that tree goes up Santa will be coming soon. I just love to see the look in my kids eyes when we turn the lights off and the tree is all lit up, it warms my soul.

One of my favorite Christmas traditions is pulling out all the decorations and putting ornaments on the tree. This is usually the first thing we do to start anticipating Christmas. We blast music through the house, dance around, and reminisce about all the different ornaments and decorations and where we got each one. Each year we go out and pick out a new ornament and do a fun activity like ice skating, sledding, go look at lights, et cetera, so the memories of these little trinkets are endless!

This was the first year, but my children decided to start their own tradition. They each picked out one present that they want, and then they donated it to charity. They are starting to question Santa and why there are children that dont get anything. This is teaching them from a young age,the joy of giving, not to be selfish, and to appreciate what they do have.

My favorite holiday tradition as a child was listening to our Charlie Brown Christmas record which had a book with the entire story to read along with.

I just subscribed! My favorite holiday tradition is baking cookies with my daughters and granddaughter, and after it's all done, we package it all up and then go and deliver it to neighbors and friends. This is something that my mother used to do as well, so I use alot of her recipes.

I subscribed. A few years ago my parents decided that instead of having their kids buy them gifts they wanted us to spend the money doing service for someone else and then on Christmas give them a letter and pictures explaining what we did. This has been a wonderful tradition for our family and helps us keep the true meaning of Christmas in our hearts. We now have a book with all the things we have done over the years. It is so fun to look through and I can't wait to add to it this year.

Every Christmas the family gets together for a Christmas feast, and to avoid any one family from having to pay for all the groceries, we pool moeny from all the siblings and parents then give that money to the person who is holding the dinner at their house that year - to offset their grocery costs. Since we rotat where we hold the dinner, everyone gets a fair shot at cooking, without having to pass because they can't afford the cost.

My favorite holiday tradition is decorating the tree with my kiddos. I love to see all the hand made ornaments from years past. It's such a wonderful night of memories. I get to remember when my daughter was 3, 5, 8, etc. My son will start making ornaments with us next year, he's 1.
