~by babychick I'm not sure that I have a favorite Christmas Tradition. When I was younger we always did the same thing every year. Opened presents Christmas morning and had lunch with the whole family and then more presents at my Grandma's house.
Now that I have a family of my own things are a little different and they seem to be changing every year. Due to the fact that we don't get to spend Christmas day with big chicklet every year things are quite different. My husband's family always opened presents from mom & dad on Christmas eve and then Santa's presents are Christmas morning. This was a little different for me but I like it and we do it when we can.
I love the fact that before we open any presents at home we always talk about the real reason for Christmas and the only reason we are able to recieve anything at all.
I'm not sure I always want Christmas eve and day to always be the same each year, if they were things would get a little mundane. So I like the fact that we really don't have a tradition per say.
I'm with you. Keep things a little different from year to year.

Yeah, we really dont have any traditions either. Things are definately different now that my sister is married and we kinda work around their schedule. Never-the-less I will still get up at like 7 in the morning to open my presents from Mom.

while i am on the hunt for traditions to start with my husband so that one day we can share them with the kids, i like the idea of spicing things up every year. or else you do begin to forget the reason you ever started a tradition at all.

We're back and forth between families so where and what we do on Christmas eve and day changes every year. The traditions I love really come before that day. Like cooking lots of goodies all day with my mom one day, shopping the day after Thanksgiving, reading the Christmas story with punkin and acting it out with his little nativity set. All those things leading up to one final day of celebration!
