One of my favorite Christmas tradition is setting up the christmas tree. I remember as a kid waking up at night and going out just to see the tree all lighted up in the dark, with the presents tucked underneath. It just looked so magical and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tradition is having Christmas dinner with my parents and my in-laws together. It feels like one big happy family.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite memory is opening presents on christmas morning every year. It was always a 3 to 4 hour ordeal because we would go in a circle and watch each gift being unwrapped. So many funny things happened and so much laughter.

My favorite memory/tradition was decorating the tree with my dad and then him "making me" watch It's a Wonderful Life. I secretly loved that movie. I try and watch it once during the Christmas season.

ReplyDeletemy favourite christmas tradition is a visit to the zoo on christmas eve day with our kids & family. we started 12 years ago with just our eldest now we have 3 boys & my brother has 2 so it is great fun. It is a great way to occupy the kids, burn off a bit of energy & then come home to a big dinner & open some pressies. This year I had to miss out for the first time in 12 years as I was working. my fondest chilhood memory of christmas is finding the carrot we had left for Rudolf on the front lawn half eaten with big teeth marks in it! Amazing how the same thing is still happening to the corrot my boys leave out, it's a wonder those Reindeer can fly at all.

Santa comes to German children at 5pm on Christmas Eve. When I was a kid,we had to wait upstairs once it was dark outside so that Santa could leave the presents. Once he was done, he rang a little bell and that was our cue to run downstairs. It was years later we learned that little bell was given to my mother by her 1st love so that whenever she missed him, she could ring it and know he would hear her. Oops.

The day after Thanksgiving, our little family goes out and cuts down out tree in the woods. One of my most favorite days of the year!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas tradition was indulging in the chex snack mix my grandfather gave away to family each Christmas. Only after he passed away did my grandmother share his recipe, which was unhealthily high on sodium. Reduced sodium versions I tried to make just didn't taste as good as Grandpa's, so it's now just a very nice memory.
ReplyDeleteIt's weird. I'm more of a traditionalist than my family is.... so i have all these family traditions that I think I'm going to make when I have a family. But probably one of my favorites is stollen... it's a german pastry that my grandma (who is very german) got us hooked on. But it's not christmas without it.
ReplyDeleteoh, hello friend liked. :)

ReplyDeleteFavorite Christmas tradition...watching old holiday classics ("It's a Wonderful Life" and "White Christmas") on the big screen at the local, independent theatre.
ReplyDeleteFavorite Christmas tradition is that every year, me and my four siblings get a movie in our stockings. When we were younger we would all wake up at 3 am, and watch movies until morning. It wasn't often you could get all 5 of us to agree to do the same thing.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas tradition is waiting for my dad to "see if Santa is gone" before letting us all see the tree. I know he's just turning on the lights, but we all still wait for him to do this!
ReplyDeleteOh, Hello friend liked on FB!
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm a reader all the way from the Philippines, and although I doubt my eligibility to win this giveaway, I'll still give it a try because...who knows right? Santa might come to my non-existent chimney this year. :)
ReplyDeleteHere in the Philippines, we have a lot of Christmas traditions like the noche buena where we eat a whole bunch of food at midnight or attending the Simbang Gabi, 9 early morning masses at church. But my absolute fave is more simple where my family and I sit or lie down on my parents' bed and just talk, waiting for the clock to strike 12. I'm not able to spend my Christmas with them this year, for the first time and I miss them a lot, but thinking of that tradition brings a lot of happy memories. This year, our alternative was to greet Christmas through Facetime instead. :)
I no longer celebrate this tradition but it's my favourite.
ReplyDeleteWhen we were kids my parents would take us to midnight mass. Afterwards at about 2am we'd start house hopping. We would visit family and friends at about 4 houses throughout the night where there was a party at each one. We wouldn't come home until about 7am and we would open our presents, then go to bed, then wake up in the afternoon to open stockings.
I love it so much because it's so unique and because we got to celebrate with absolutely everyone.
Favorite Memory - As a kid, one Christmas, I heard bells and heard the fireplace open in the middle of Christmas eve night. Pretty cool!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas tradition would have to be making Christmas candy with my grandmother. She always made Potato Candy, Peanut Brittle, Mexican Wedding Cookies, Truffles, and more, as well as help us kids make gingerbread men and sugar cookies. She died this past October, and I made Buckeye Balls in her honor for everyone at my house this Christmas. :) Thank you for doing this, and Happy Holidays!

My favorite Christmas memory is also one of my saddest. My grandmother died right before Christmas when I was a freshman in college. My dad always had one special present that wasn't under the tree and that year he surprised us with my grandmother's wedding ring. My mom, my sister and I went to a local jewelers to have the diamonds removed and put into special rings for each of us. I paired mine with emeralds. I haven't worn that ring in a long time, and I think I will get it out and wear it this Christmas to remember. Thanks for letting remember that! Merry Christmas to you! Enjoy the day. Erin

ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas memory is Christmas Eve when I was little! My sister, brothers, and I would all sleep in the same room and we'd be wide awake most of the night eagerly anticipating what Santa would bring!!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite memory is not of the gifts, or the lights, or the tree but of breakfast on Christmas morning. Everyone, relaxed and laughing, passing favorite dishes around, trying something new (that was a tradition, too), and in no hurry.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas memory happened this year actually. My boyfriend heard me joking about starting a roller derby team and bought me a pair of skates for Christmas. This is the guy who does do gifts!
ReplyDeleteOn Christmas morning when we were growing up, we always had to wait for Dad to go downstairs first to check that Santa had come. Really he was plugging in the Christmas tree lights, but we didn't know that at the time.
