As I think back to my childhood I realize that I have incorporated many of my 
childhood traditions into my family as an adult, along with making my own traditions. Things have changed, but not that much. I have found that my husband and I have really put our traditions together from when we were children and created some of our own traditions.
Some of our Christmas traditions include:
-
Baking lots of goodies for family and friends
-
Opening one gift on Christmas Eve (although my husband would love to open ALL of them on Christmas Eve)
-
Driving around on Christmas Eve to look at all of the beautiful decorations
-
Decorating the Christmas tree
-
Drinking a cup of hot chocolate
-
Decorating the house (inside and out) with beautiful lights and festive colors
-
Making rings out of green and red construction paper to countdown to Christmas
-
Send out Christmas e-cards to family and friends (it’s WAY easier, and much more cost effective!)
-
Reading Twas the Night Before Christmas to the kids before bed
-
Hanging the stockings by the fireplace
