My favorite family tradition is one that my mom did with us as kids and I’ve done with my boys. Each year on Thanksgiving weekend we make “Christmas Rings” out of green and red construction paper. Each day one child gets to cut off the ring as we countdown to Christmas. We do this instead of the traditional Advent Calendar. Our other tradition is that each child in the family receives a special ornament each year so that when they are older they have a collection of ornaments to put on their own tree.
November 18th, 2011 on 8:56 pm
I’m excited about this! My son loves Elmo and Cookie Monster! Thanks!
November 18th, 2011 on 8:57 pm

We love reading the Christmas story from Luke as a family on Christmas Eve. (I always hear Linus’ voice from “Charlie Brown Christmas” in my head while reading Luke 2!) Then we help the children set out cookies and milk for Santa before scooting off to bed. It’s the one night of the year they go to sleep immediately without asking for books, water, etc., because if they don’t zonk out, Santa can’t come! Their excitement and anticipation is so contagious!

November 19th, 2011 on 1:18 pm

Our Christmas tradition…each child receives 4 presents, one from each category.
Something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read.
It has really helped us simplify and not go overboard with our present buying!
November 19th, 2011 on 3:37 pm
My daughter’s favorite character is of course Elmo. She loves him and “wants to keep him”.
November 19th, 2011 on 3:43 pm
One of our Christmas traditions is to make nametags to pin onto the stockings. Our stockings don’t have names so it is a great activity to keep my daughter engaged in helping with decorations.
November 19th, 2011 on 4:10 pm
My youngest daughter loves Elmo, my older children like Elmo and Oscar the Grouch. We used to live in Chester County, PA and I remember taking my 2 older ones there and how much fun we had. I’m now in Kansas, (although I’ll always miss that part of PA) but my older children used to have season passes with their dad, and I think did last year, too…and they always love the park. I’m sure they would love going there again, as they are currently in PA for the school year.

My favorite family tradition was inherited from my mother-in-law. The first time I visited their house during the holidays, I was shocked to see the wise men from the nativity set in the bathroom. I learned that they begin advent far from the creche and travel through the house “mysteriously” moving each night until they reach the baby Jesus in the manger on Epiphany. We now continue this tradition for our son.
November 19th, 2011 on 7:41 pm
We love Abby Cadabby!
November 19th, 2011 on 7:42 pm
