AmyK1 We always put the tree up the Saturday after Thanksgiving while listening to Christmas music. That evening we light a fire, no matter how warm it is (we live in the south), make hot chocolate and watch a Christmas movie. 5y
Beatlefan129 I feel like this is more common in the Midwest, but we had St. Nick when I was a kid. You put your stocking out on the first Sat. in Dec. and it would get filled with little gifts 5y
ShelfRighteous @AmyK1 Oh the little things we do as a family are remembered forever when we grow up❤ 5y

ShelfRighteous @Beatlefan129 My religion does not celebrate Christmas but as kids we also put up a stocking and on Christmas morning it would be filled with gifts! I think I have to be thankful to my parents for being broad minded enough to include this little practise on a festival that we dont normally celebrate! Your answer suddenly reminded me of this when I was a kid❤ 5y
AmyK1 @ShelfRighteous So true. My daughter took that Saturday off work so she wouldn‘t miss out, even though we would have waited for her to get home. She wants the whole day to do everything ❤️ 5y
ShelfRighteous @AmyK1 She must be enjoying this little tradition so much! Such moments give us nostalgia for years to come🤩 5y
vivastory Growing up the Xmas tradition was opening one small gift the weekend prior to Xmas & watching Xmas story. I don't really have a Xmas tradition as an adult. I usually see my family. Although watching the latest star wars became somewhat of a tradition as 3 of the 4 recent movies released right before the holidays & I'd see it after my holiday dinner. Glad I'll be able to do it again this year! 5y
ljuliel We didn‘t do anything out of the ordinary. Decorate the tree , open gifts, bake cookies and have lots of good food. We still do most of that but on a pared down scale. I don‘t bake the cookies. I buy a dessert. After 42 years I really hate cooking. We also don‘t bother with gifts. If we want something we buy it so when the holiday comes , there‘s nothing else we want except a nice meal and peace. (edited) 5y
Jerdencon We have a few - going to see the Rockefeller tree lighting, decorating our tree, going to dinner for Xmas eve, church on Xmas eve 5y
ShelfRighteous @vivastory Oh visiting family after a long time is very special and festivities make it even more so☃️ 5y
ShelfRighteous @ljuliel Its not about doing anything extraordinary, even if it's as simple as having a dessert together, in peace and quiet, I think it qualifies as a tradition if that's your thing❤ Actually I love peace more than all the hustle! 5y
ShelfRighteous @Jerdencon I just looked up that tree and wow! It's so beautiful🤩 I'm sure you guys enjoy this tradition a lot😍 5y
TheLibrarian My parents and I have always gone to my Aunt's for Christmas Eve. Sadly it's gone from a dinner to mostly appetizers (not a fan). 5y
Bklover Matching pajamas for all of us to open Christmas Eve! 5y
ShelfRighteous @TheLibrarian Oh no🙈 Even I look forward to food more than the occasion itself😛 5y
ShelfRighteous @Bklover Oh❤ I wish I could do that here in India even tho I dont celebrate Christmas! (PS I love those Christmas sweaters too that everybody hates, but Mumbai's weather is so darn humid all the time we cant even wear a simple full sleeved tshirt here😐) 5y
wanderinglynn On Christmas Eve, we ate seafood and opened one present. The rest were opened on Christmas Day. 5y
ShelfRighteous @wanderinglynn That's a unique one! 💫 5y
ImperfectCJ I always looked forward to my kid-jobs for holiday meals: tearing up the toasted bread to make the turkey stuffing, opening the can of cranberry sauce, and putting together the relish plate (do other people call it that? Olives and pickles and veggies to snack on while waiting for the big meal). 5y
Emilymdxn My parents and I watch bad rom coms together every evening of the festive period! 5y
ShelfRighteous @Emilymdxn Oh that must be such fun😅 5y
