Basically our only holiday tradition is burning a bayberry candle on Christmas Eve. The legend says something like: “This bayberry candle comes from a friend
so on Christmas eve burn it down to the end.
For a bayberry candle burned to the socket,
will bring joy to the heart and gold to the pocket.”
But I have heard another variation.

My favorite holiday tradition is driving to look at Christmas lights. Still fun.

Finding a way to weave serving others into my holiday traditions is my favorite. Go sing Christmas carols at a local nursing home, make cards for troops, or drop dessert off to a local women’s shelter. This will not only teach my children valuable lessons about what’s really important, but it will lift your spirits, as well.

On our oldest daughter’s first Christmas we read her the Christmas Mouse which is my husband’s favorite childhood story. Now we read it to all our children on Christmas Eve before we tuck them into bed to dream of sugar plums.

This year we’re going to teach our children that there is more to life than getting a Sony Play Station. We’re limiting gifts to one per child and one gift to share. We are going to donate our time to a charity or soup kitchen. It’s our job to teach our kids that there are rewards beyond money or things. We hope we’ll have fun in the process.

My favorite holiday tradition is going to the midnight mass!

Every Christmas we buy an ornament to celebrate something that happened that year. When we got married, we bought a wedding ornament. The year we graduated from college, we got one with a diploma. This year we had our first baby. We plan to pick out an ornament for us, and start our daughter’s collection. We look forward to unwrapping the ornaments every year and remembering why we bought them.

We do 12 days of secret surprises for a neighbor starting today, bringing the appropriate number of goodies — one on the first day to twelve on the twelfth day. And we’re keeping our identity a secret. When the children were smaller we revealed ourselves on the last day because we thought they wouldn’t keep it a secret anyway.
Mai T.
After the kids are in bed on Christmas Eve, we leave a trail of elf prints from our fireplace through the living room. To make them, cut two sponges in the shape of small shoeprints, then dip them in a plate of “elf dust” (flour, baby powder, carpet deodorizer). The prints always stop at the tray of cookies and milk left out for Santa and sometimes the elves are a bit naughty and play with the presents. Our children love to figure out exactly what path the elves took.

1 of my favorite traditions: Whiping up holiday cheer by gathering family members to bake and decorate cookies. Assign youngsters manageable tasks such as pouring pre-measured ingredients, stirring, and making shapes with cookie cutters. Older kids can measure wet and dry ingredients, crack eggs, and roll out the dough. When the cookies are cooled, the best part begins: decorating.
Chantelle Walker
I love decorating the tree with my mom 🙂 we put on some Christmas music and go to town. We laugh at some of the older ornaments then comment on how stupid some are which end up on the tree anyway. All the while the dog is on the couch thinking her (or in former years his) humans are doing lol

Trimming the Tree Together is our favorite tradition. The Christmas tree will be our home’s focal point for a few weeks, so we deck it out in style with Snoopy, Barbie, and others in the Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments lineup. We Fluff the branches, then hang lights (make sure they’re in perfect condition first!) starting at the base and working our way up before stringing garlands.

Unfortunately most of my favorite traditions and memories are about being with family. It is unfortunate because this year it will just be my husband and I. Everyone else has other plans/needs and so we are doing a solo holiday. In many ways it is making me even more thankful. I am so thankful that I usually have my family for holidays, and that I am so very blessed to have such a wonderful family.

One of my favorite traditions is that we are able to open one present Christmas Eve. It is always some of the best gifts. I think, in part, because we focus on just one thing, whereas Christmas day it is present after present, and the excitement is shared among many different items. It is such a fun night, as we all sit around and play with our new stuff.
