my favorite tradition is going out Christmas Eve and driving around town looking at all the Christmas Lights, then coming home and having my dad read me The Night Before Christmas. This is a tradition that I use with my family.

Drinking Eggnog with the good stuff in it!
Eggnog
6 eggs
1 cup + 1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup brandy
1/3 cup dark rum (Captain Morgan for best flavor, but Myers is OK)
2 cups whipping cream
2 cups milk
All liquids should be very cold. Refrigerate in advance.
Beat the eggs for 2 or 3 minutes with an electric mixer at medium speed until very frothy. Gradually beat in the sugar, vanilla and nutmeg. Turn the mixer off and stir in the cold brandy, rum, whipping cream and milk Chill before serving. Sprinkle individual servings with more nutmeg.
Makes about 2-1/2 quarts.

My tradition is my mom's side of the family coming over on Christmas Eve and celebrating christmas and then either going to my house or my aunts house for my dad's side of the family and doing the same thing as we did on Christmas Eve.

My husband has read "The Night Before Christmas" to our children every year on Christmas Eve since they were small. They're 27 and 28 now and he still reads it, it's tradition! The difference now is that we laugh and joke about the dramatic way he reads it...it's hysterical.
Merry Christmas.

we have a light dinner on Christmas Eve, drive around and look at the Christmas lights, open one present (pajamas) and just spend time together as a family.

Meditating and studying the dharma, but then that's my favorite tradition everyday.
