We go to Downtown Portland Oregon (or nearest city to you) to see the city tree, and look at the windows decorated up at the Macy's store. Get hot chocolate and Mochas at starbucks and walk around together as a family, dinner at a nice restaurant. We usually see a Christmas movie then drive around looking at light displays. One year we stumbled across a mansion that was having an "open house" for all who came by, entire thing was decked out, the admission fee ($2) went to a homeless shelter so we helped others too!
This year we are planning on a "formal" night out. We are dressing up (4 teenagers and us parents) going to a nice dinner, then to see Trans Siberian Orchestra concert. Will cost a bit, but our kids are at the age where they don't need piles of presents anymore. We can use part of the gift budget and make good memories.

Christmas is my holiday; I tend to go a little over board and my family calls me the Christmas Nazi, I love it so much. My favorite thing to do for Christmas is sing carols; a local radio station plans Christmas music non-stop, starting the day after Thanksgiving, and I have it turned on almost all the time, or at least as much as possible.

My favorite thing used to be spending the night at my grandmas house on christmas eve, and waking up early with her and drink egg nog. She was happier than a child when she got lots of presents.
Also I love when my cousins make their delicious fudge.

I like to listen to music, watch TV specials and movies, cook, eat, decorate and spend time with the family.
I also love to drive around and look at all the decorated houses, especially if there's snow outside.

Wrapping gifts! I love putting on a Christmas movie, getting out all the gifts and wrapping, and just spend a cold afternoon wrapping away!

I love decorating the tree. I have about 30 Disney collectible ornaments and my kids love opening the boxes to find who's in them.
