We always celebrate St.Nicholas day on Dec. 6, which is when we open our stockings. It is a great time to talk about the real santa and how he lived his life for God and others. BTW I love your idea about taking cookies to people who have to work Christmas. As a nurse, I often work the holidays and it is sad for me to be away from my family.

On Christmas Eve my in-laws have a great tradition that I’m borrowing. We call it Hot Pot. We basically have fondue (with chicken stock) for dinner. I make a bunch of sauces and have chicken, shrimp and beef. And lots of veggies. All the left-overs get thrown in to make a soup that serves as a light lunch on Christmas Day. They started it because it takes HOURS to eat and kept my husband and ... See all content Hide content

Our daughter is 16 months old so we are starting a new tradition this year of going to get her picture taken with Santa the day after Thanksgiving. We always host Thanksgiving at our house and our parents visit us from out of state. We think this will be a nice way for them to build holiday memories with their granddaughter. Rather than just sending them a copy of her photo with Santa, they will get ... See all content Hide content

On Christmas Eve, I make authentic posole, spicy with big chunks of tender pork.

On Christmas morning, I make it my mission to serve the most calorie laden, cholesterol crazy, rich, savory, cheesy, spicy breakfast casserole known to mankind. My family would be disappointed if I didn’t. It’s tradition.

I do not put any presents under the tree until Christmas Eve, after ... See all content Hide content

I started the pajamas on Christmas Eve when our daughters were really young. Every year they would get their one present and then act all disappointed that it was ‘clothes’. When they grew up and got married, I said I was going to stop buying them pajamas and just do the kids. They went berserk. It’s TRADITION Mom! We have to get our jammies. I even buy pajama pants for the sons-in-laws ... See all content Hide content

The kids get pajamas on Christmas Eve–I find that nothing gets them ready for bed faster than new jammies! This year I am introducing the Advent calendar–I’ll look into the Jesse Tree links to see what I can incorporate. The advent calendar I’m making is a string of little knitted mittens and hats, and in addition to hershey kisses, I want to slip something else into most every ... See all content Hide content

These are great ideas! I’m so looking forward to creating some holiday traditions in our family and this really gets me thinking. I like the Jesse tree idea and also like what someone said about driving around to look at Christmas lights. Thanks!

We buy an ornament for each child every year. We make our annual trip to Hallmark to pick them out. We choose an ornament that best describes our children’s personality. They love seeing what ornament that we have chosen for them every year.

We always have fresh cinnamon rolls for breakfast on Christmas morning. Last year my three kids didn’t even want to open their presents – they just wanted those cinnamon rolls!

It amazes me how much we all look forward to sharing that time together. Can’t wait!
