Christmas Traditions

Every year we take the kids to see the Christmas lights in an amazing neighborhood where every single house is lit up! They love it. =) We also bake cookies together and leave them out for Santa-they love doing that. And we always find a way to bless someone who is having a hard time.

For quite a few years we used to host a big Christmas Brunch. Anyone in the family that had no place to go was more then welcome, others worked their plans around coming to our place and leaving totally stuffed. And then our son took over the role and he used to host it, but this year we are changing things up a bit. I'll miss it, but I'm excited for the new chapter that we'll begin.

Since my divorce all the traditions are gone. If I get the movie I want there will be one coming back. Every year me my ex and the kids would go get a Starbucks come home get on our pajamas and pop popcorn and watch polar express movie. I want to do that with my boyfriend.

One tradition we have is that on Christmas Eve at midnight, you can talk to the animals and they can talk to you. Trouble is, we've never been up that late to try it out! We've been talking about it for years!

We watch Christmas movies / shows.

I have none. Just waiting for the day to pass.

The Misa de Gallo is the tradition being passed from generation to generation.

Pigging out on Christmas goodies and opening one gift each on Christmas Eve.

We used to bake cookies and breads and give them as gifts when my girls wer4e growing up. We also used to make handmade decorations every year to hang on our tree.

Our family's Christmas tradition is to just exchange gifts with one another and just be in unison during Christmas day.
