Fav Christmas tradition is on Christmas Eve when our grandchildren are allowed to open their Christmas Stocking from Grandma and Grandpa. Every year it is filled with traditional items, a tangerine, a chocolate marshmellow Santa, Silver dolloars for each child's age, and a special ornament as well. The children really look forward to it and we so enjoy their delight :)

Family time.

We stop and pick up some hot chocolate, and then my family drives around looking at Christmas lights.

My favorite family tradition is the cutting of the Christmas tree. My family owns a farm that used to grow trees for Christmas. We don't sell them but every year we invite all our family and friends and take a hayride up into the tree grove. We sing carols, drink hot cocoa, and throw snowballs around. It's a lot of fun and I enjoy the tradition very much. Afterwards, we go to my parents house for a big dinner!

I just love to get our Christmas tree. It's simple, but really reminds me that Christmas time is here!

On Christmas morning, we open our stockings when we first get up. Then we stop and eat a special breakfast. In earlier years we would then spend a lot of time opening our gifts one by one. We could stretch it out for hours.

Christmas is just magical to me! Many traditions throughout the years plus the new ones we begin each year are my favorite! White lights on our Christmas tree, getting in the car to check out all of the decorated houses, Hallmark Christmas movies, Christmas morning with grandparents ... I love each and every one of them!

My favorite tradition is the Advent Calendar. I love the building up of anticipation and the magic the kids have when opening each door each morning.

December means breaking out the Christmas carols and movies. I love this time of year, but I wear my family out with all the singing and such. My son thinks I am "Christmas Crazy", I just think that I believe in the Christmas Magic!!!!
Thanks for more great giveaways.

Two favorite traditions...picking out our christmas tree and making a gingerbread house with the kids!

I always love it when my son reads aloud the last chapter of A Christmas Carol on Christmas eve.

My favorite December tradition was taking Kristen's Christmas list and writing a letter to her from Santa that incorporated some of her wishes then have a girlfriend rewrite it and send it from a couple of towns over. It took her years to figure out that it was me doing it! LOL She loved it, waited every year for her letter to arrive.

My favorite tradition is driving around and looking at Christmas lights. Enjoy the together time with the whole family.

My son and his wife come to visit and my daughter and husband come over and we all sit at the table and build a Ginger bread house...this year will be extra special because we have a new granbaby (our first) and we can share this special tradition with her. I would so love to win any of these great give-aways. Thank you for always giving. Tis the season!!!

St. Nicolas comes to visit the kids on Dec. 6

One of my favorite Christmas traditions is going out to look at all of the amazing lights. I look forward to it every year!
Thanks for the chance to win. :)

My favorite Christmas tradition is spending time with family. I love gathering together beside a beautiful glowing sparkling tree.

My favorite tradition is one my Grandmother started when I was a kid. She delivered Kringle to us each and every Christmas and it's what we always had for Christmas breakfast. It would come and I knew Christmas was around the corner. One year, it didn't come. Again.. the next year. We knew that she had forgotten to send it in her older years. No one knew where she had ordered them from as my Mother never kept the boxes. There was a time when we didn't have Kringle. However, when I was in my early 20's, I happened to be telling someone about this tradition I remembered in my childhood and amazingly, she knew the place in Wisconsin! From that year on, I've been the one sending out Kringle to my family for Christmas breakfasts, so now, all of our kids have share in this tradition as well!! That's my favorite!

I have so many favorite holiday traditions. I think one of my most favorite though is creating a peaceful, anticipation-filled Christmas eve with my family including a spread of hors d'oeuvres, the opening of one gift for all, reading 'Twas The Night Before Christmas, etc. Pure magic.
