My favorite holiday tradition since I can remember has been to open one gift on Ghristmas eve. We have passed this on to our kids and it creates excitement for the morning to come!!

Growing up we moved around so much and had family spread all over the country that it was hard to establish any sort of tradition.
Now, with my husband and son, we have a tradition of making sure we're home for Christmas Eve to wake up here Christmas morning. On Christmas Eve we read our son the book the Night Before Christmas. On Christmas Day my dad comes over and we celebrate, then we all go to my husbands Grandmothers, where his entire family is having a huge breakfast.

Later that day we head to my mothers house for Christmas dinner. Then, usually (weather permitting) we head up to Cleveland, Ohio to see my Aunt's beautiful old home decorated for Christmas. We spend a few days with them and are home for the New Year.

And, of course, at some point we watch A Christmas Story

lol who doesn't?!?!

It's baking with my mom. We always make lots of goodies for our friends, and do it together. It's very fun & I look forward to it every year.

My favorite holiday tradition is baking and leaving out cookies for Santa on Christmas eve! I don't have any kids (yet?) but still like the baking cookie (snickerdoodle!) part.

As the children get older, and the family gets bigger, Traditions change...... The one that never changes is Christmas day we are all together. This year we are more grateful than ever that we will be together. Mom has spent this year in treatment for cancer and is in remission.

We all feel so blessed to have this Christmas with mom after all she has been through.

Our tradition is to have the big family thing the night before Christmas so the actual day itself can be more simple and relaxed with immediate family. All of my family lives an hour away, so we pack up and spend the night with my folks. Simple is best this time of the year. =)

We have a tradition every New Years Eve to hang grapes on each window of the house as well as on doors and arches. Also, we always make a fruit bowl/basket where we put money and rice at the bottom of the container, then place as many "round" fruits we can buy, with the number of fruits no less than 13. We do not touch these fruits until after the 1st day of the new year. Only then do we take apart the basket. The money placed underneath is returned to each family member and we keep it for good luck. Then my Mom and I make fruit salad and my Dad bakes mango bread (from the trees in our yard) then we get to enjoy it and share it with our neighbors and relatives!

My favorite holiday tradition is very personal. Before I go to sleep on Christmas night I say a special prayer for all my family that has passed away. I think of each one of them and remember Christmas' past when they were here with us. I tell them I love them and miss them.

Our family has a lovely tradition that takes place long after dark on Christmas eve.

My husband, myself and our two boys go outside and we give our youngest son a handful of glitter. It's his job then to close his eyes tight, wish Santa to our home and toss the glitter into the air.
Even though Hunter is starting to question the authenticity of Santa, I know that this tradition will be one that we will continue forever. The glitter is so beautiful falling in the moonlight as it summons Santa and his reindeer. This is a a real magic moment for me. It's one I wait for all year.
