Do you have a Christmas Tradition? What is it?
When we were younger, my sister and I would sleep in the same room, then on Christmas morning, we would always wake up at the crack of dawn because we were usually too excited to sleep. My mom, instead of wrapping each of our presents, would set out our presents like a display window with a big piece of cardboard with our names written on it in the middle of our stack so we would know which one was ours. My favorite present I ever got was a barbie dream house. =) Though, when I have kids, I plan on only giving them three presents each as Jesus got when he was a baby which is why we celebrate Christmas in the first place. Thanks for sharing your memory!

Eating traditional turkey dinner. Going around the neighborhood to watch the lights put up by house owners. Decorating my friend's Christmas Tree, as I live in an apartment, so no room for a BIG Christmas Tree. This year, it's my first time helping my church to decorate the santuary for Christmas. Other than that, not much, as my family doesn't celebrate Christmas. :-(

Well, on Christmas eve, we all put put on are brand new pajamas and open one gift before bed. The kids love to see their father in his new footie pj's and me in my new bunny slippers...they think it the funniest thing in the world. We sip hot chocolate and watch a Christmas movie....
On Christmas day... the kids go nuts. Dad and I watch and take pictures. We have a special breakfast if I can pull the kids away from the toys...most times I can't! By dinner time the kids are starving and we enjoy a feast complete with turkey and all the trimmings. After dinner we call everybody we know and wish them a Merry Christmas. .Some of the people we call come to the house and we Party all night. We don't exchange gifts with the whole family anymore...we all decided that we were spending to much money and that just being together was all we needed to do on the holidays.

Oh I really don't have any traditions anymore, sadly. Back when I was a kid though (when my parents were still together, we're talking when I was 10 and under) we used to open presents on Christmas Eve and have a nice meal together as a family- the good stuff! And we would bake lots of Christmas cookies-YUM- and then Christmas Day we'd spend it together and I would always play with my new toys.

I haven't been like that in ages. Lights on the window. A tree if it's practical, decorated. Dinner on Christmas day. Maybe watching some Christmas TV shows or movies if I like them.
