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.
I’m excited about this! My son loves Elmo and Cookie Monster! Thanks!
Our favorite family tradition is advent calendars, and also on Christmas Eve we get together with friends for dinner and the Christmas story right before bed.
What an AWESOME giveaway!!! My kids love Elmo and Cookie Monster!! We’ve done birthday parties for both 🙂
Cookie Monster!! :o)
My favorite tradition is Christmas Eve special present (special ornament) and looking at neighborhood lights with hot chocolate. Christmas is my favorite time of year! So many fun things to do!

A favorite holiday tradition is baking cookies! This year we are also going to make some pies! Yum!
My favorite Christmas tradition is our big family dinner on Christmas Eve before we attend our church service. Everybody is anticipating the next day, the kids are eagerly waiting for Santa, there is just such an air of excitement that always makes me sit back and soak it all in.
My daughters love Oscar and the Count! Thanks for such a great giveaway!
My kiddo is strange! Her favorites seem to be Bert and Mr. Noodle! Of course, she likes the girl characters a lot, too! But she laughs the most at Bert and Mr. Noodle!
Our favorite Christmas tradition is one we started last year…driving to Christmas Village to see the lights!
My favorite tradition is on christmas eve while we are outside sprinkling magic glittery oats for the reindeer, new PJs and books are left on our beds. We tuck in happy, excited and warm for the night, and spend most of the next day just our family, in our PJs, enjoying each other and our goodies!
Far away favorite here is Super Grover 2.0!
Our favorite family tradition is convincing Santa to come a night early since we travel on Xmas eve.
We love picking our annual ornaments that represent something we liked or did that year. It’s so much fun looking at how our interests have changed over the years, especially as our daughter grows.

My favorite holiday tradition is what my family does for Thanksgiving. My grandma rents out the fellowship hall of her church and invites nearly everyone she knows. There is always a new face each year and it’s wonderful when multiple families get together. 🙂

Our favorite holiday tradition is to gather with extended family the weekend before Christmas. This Christmas Eve open for smaller family together-ness.
I have a 5-year-old daughter who loves Zoe and a 4-year-old son who is a big fan of Mister Noodle!
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!
Abby Cadaby!!
My kids favorite Sesame character is Elmo!
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!
My daughter’s favorite character is of course Elmo. She loves him and “wants to keep him”.
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.
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.
Our favorite holiday tradition is decorating a tree with handmade ornaments the kids have made.
My daughter’s favorite character is Elmo.
Our favorite family holiday tradition is putting oats out for Santa’s reindeer.
My son loves Cookie Monster. He was given a stuffed one for his one year birthday and it is his favorite lovey.
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.
We love Abby Cadabby!
A tradition is for each of the kids and us to use our $ to buy a present for poor children. This year we chose to feed a child for a year!
My son Connor loves cookie monster….our dog chewed his cookie monster and we had to go out in the middle of the night to find another one… he would not go to sleep…. Please pick us…
It’s Elmo all the way for my little one! I have to say, this has me thinking about going to Sesame Place the day after thanksgiving. Better than shopping!
Our favorite family holiday tradition is to leave shoeboxes full of grass out for the 3 Magi on Three King’s day eve, and the kids get a gift in the shoebox the next day!
Abby Cadabby…definitely!
Every year we visit our local small city museum which holds a tree decorating contest. Santa, cookie decorating and 30+ trees make for a wonderful kick-off to the holiday season…
Def ello.
