Our family loves to cook, so during the week before Christmas we would make cookies and decorate them! Then we would go and decorate the tree, which is one of my all-time favorites, and because our tree rotates, we can all decorate while it`s spinning!! But we all have fun doing it as a family!!

Christmas Pajamas! There is nothing like a set of warm, fuzzy Christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve. Especially if it's accompanied by some spiced cider, snuggling with the family and a warm puppy dog on your feet!

Each year my mother sends a new ornament from Santa to my niece and nephew. The tradition of getting a new ornament every year began, for me, when I was a child, too. It started with my Aunt Vickie sending me a brass angel with my name and year engraved on it. Now that I’m an adult and have my own tree and own (four legged) family, I love to shop for that one special ornament to add to my tree every year.

Love this site!! My favorite holiday tradition is cookie making with my sister in law. We don't get to see each other that often and it's so fun to pass the kids off to our husbands and have some girl. time.

My favorite tradition is putting out the nativity set with my boys. They are ages 10, 6, and 3 and the way they set up the figurines really allows me a glimpse into what they think happened when Jesus was born. I love seeing their perspectives each year and the way they explain their perceptions….it's one of the most valued things I do with my boys each year. There are now (after 3 boys) no shepherds that arrive at the manger scene anymore due to unforeseen circumstances….ie: the then 2 year old thinking the shepherds should have a battle with the wise men….the wise men won that match. Nonetheless, it's a treasured tradition at our house.

My favorite tradition is having brunch with my entire extended family on Christmas morning. As a child it was exciting because you would get to bring one gift to show all your cousins. As an adult, I love seeing all the children run around and catching up with the same cousins I grew up with!!

My husband's grandmother made the best divinity and she won many blue ribbons years ago with her recipe. I am the only person she shared her recipe with so each year we have to make divinity to pass on the tradition to her great grandchildren.

My favorite holiday tradition is decorating the tree. We reminisce about when we got each ornament. For example, there’s an ornament of a ceramic dog with a bell inside. He’s called little chimer. When I was a little girl, he was my favorite ornament, so I would take him off the tree and carry him around the house. Of course, I was young so I would drop him. Little Chimer (yes, I named him that) has been put back together at least 7 times now with super glue. He’s more glue than ceramic by now, and he no longer chimes, but he’s still my favorite ornament.

Hey! Those pretzels look so fabulous! Actually, one of my holiday traditions is to make white chocolate covered pretzels and oreos with my mom and sister! We’ve been doing it for a couple decades. However, ours aren’t anything this elaborate.
