ReplyDeleteBefore I open my presents, I invite over my grandparents. They will bring their presents for us and maybe donuts. It is not really a tradition but we have done it for the past 3 years so it could be, it is just the only thing I remember. It is pretty fun that they are there because they love watching our faces explode when we open our presents.I guess this will go as a tradition.
ReplyDeleteTHat is a cool tradition.

DeleteA tradition my family has is, we always buy gifts for kids in need. We also help bake sugar cookies for Santa. We always have to take Christmas pictures on the steps before we can open presents. My dad will always make a joke and say, "I do not think Santa came." We also all help put ordimants on the tree.
ReplyDeleteMy family tradition is when all of our family put Christmas ornaments on the tree. Also, our grandmother gives us special countdown christmas calendars! How they work is whatever day it is you open the slot and there is a surprise in the slot! Wait! We have one more Christmas tradition! The last Christmas tradition we do is always make santa cards and mail it to him! We also like to see santa! I can't wait for Christmas to come! Comment down below if you would like to do any of my Christmas traditions.
ReplyDeleteWe put ornaments on the tree too.

ReplyDeleteMy family tradition is we have my mom's parents over on christmas over every year. Then we have my dad's parents over on christmas morning. Then my Aunt and Uncle mostly send us presents in the mail and we send them stuff from the mail to. That is how we spend christmas every year.
ReplyDeleteEvery year six days before Christmas my cousins spend two days with us. We go to a Christmas concert, and we watch the little kids try to climb up the stage. (none of them ever succeed) In the evening my dad cooks tomato soup. Every night we are asleep around 11:00.
ReplyDeleteEvery year most of my family goes to a certain place in Maysville, Kentucky where we open our presents from the gift exchange we do. Even the parents do it. While the girls get fairys we actually get cool things. I love being with my family.
ReplyDeleteMy family tradition on christmas is we either go to Michigan to be with all of my family that lives in Michigan or we go down to Florida to be with all my family that lives in Florida, and if we go to Michigan on christmas which is what we are doing this year we go there for thanksgiving next year, and we go to Florida on Christmas, and we rotate every year and we stay at are grandparents house, and on christmas morning everyone comes and we open all the gift at my grandparents house together.
ReplyDeleteOne tradition is that my family on the sunday before christmas is that we get with my mom's family and do a giant scavenger hunt around the city. Everyone is very competitive and every one is blocking one another. Then we come home back to my house and have Maggiano's for dinner. Then we have a giant present swop then everyone goes home.
ReplyDeleteThat would be fun Caroline!
ReplyDeleteOne tradition I have with my family is that every year, we do advent calenders. One advent calender we have is a ark. There is a animal for each day of Christmas, up entill the 24. There is two of each animal, and they are scrambled in a random order. Some animals in the ark are doves, pigs, cows, and zebras. The doves go on top of the ark, and you can point them both ways like a arrow. Although there is a dove, there is no sparrow. As I said, each animal has a partner. That is one of my family's taditions.
ReplyDeleteI think having an elf is a good tradition because the elf does funny thangs around your house.
ReplyDeleteMy family's tradition is to bake Christmas cookies. We all think this is such a fun idea. We then, after we bake the cookies, gather on the couch together and eat them. They are supreme! Also,then at the evening time we leave some out for Santa, and some milk too. My family and I just love this tradition, and we can't wait to do it again!
ReplyDeleteThe tradition that I have is to wake up on christmas morning, and guess what we got for christmas. Then we would wait, wait, and wait because it would be about 6:00 in the morning. Then later we would open presents. That is my tradition.
ReplyDeleteOne of our family traditions is we go caroling for Fanny Battle. We sing songs to our neighbors to make money for them. All the money goes into their christmas presents. I like caroling to give a child christmas. This is only one of our family traditions
ReplyDeleteMy Christmas tradition is, on Christmas eve my cousins come over for dinner, and after dinner we bake cookies for Santa. THEN we have desert (which is usually pie and ice cream.) Then we all gather around my mom's computer, and watch Santa on the Santa tracker. Right before bed at 11:00, my dad reads us the Night Before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tradition my family does is go to Bristol where my great grandparents live and open our Christmas presents. We all get to play, eat, and talk together, and it is super fun. Before we open the presents, we play outside, possibly in the snow if there is any. But my favorite part is still the presents. That's my favorite family tradition!!
ReplyDeleteOne tradition I have is that we have is that we invite friends from church to watch us open presents. We also make delicious treats to snack on all day. we have fun all day long. Then I watch all the christmas specials and christmas movies. I watch them all but my parents, brother and grandmother all fall asleep so I stay up really late.
ReplyDeletebefore I open my presents we have to go down to my parents room to wake them up, but they make me and Carson snuggle until they want to go out. Finally tuhey get out, and Carson and I go to the stocking to see witch one is larger. Te me and Carson go to the tree and open the bigger present first. Wwe would open the smaller presents last.
ReplyDeleteOne tradition my family has is every year we have my mom's side of the family over to our house for Christmas. My parents sit at a table with the grown ups and my cousins sit together with my sisters and I for Christmas Eve dinner. After that, we start to make Santa's cookies. We put frosting on them and then we pour sprinkles and maybe a few chocolate chips onto them. then we make the reindeer food. We make it with a variety of foods. Then we take the reindeer food and sprinkle it in the grass in our front yard. Next, we go to the living room and my Dad reads The Night Before Christmas to me and all of my family. Finally, they bring us upstairs and we go to sleep. On Christmas morning we walk together down the stairs and stop right before the ground. We take a picture and then we grab each other's hands and walk down the last step. Then, we walk into the living room where our christmas tree is. After, we say 1 2 3 go and all of us run toward the Christmas tree or our stockings. We carry all of our presents and our stockings to our chair with our name on it. Then we start opening our presents one by one and everyone watches everyone open their presents. Then we have a few treats and then we have breakfast.
