Totally stealing this from Erica because I suck at finding good ones :)
Day 1: Christmas/Holiday Traditions
We're just starting our own Christmas traditions, but we still have quite a few! :) I LOVE Christmas and I LOVE Christmas traditions (even if people think they're silly) so I have no problem coming up with and sticking to them.
Our first tradition is that we put up the Christmas tree and Christmas decor the day after Thanksgiving. While all the crazy shoppers are out beating each other for toys and games, we're at home decorating and watching whatever Christmas/holiday movies are on TNT, TBS, or USA.
We also have certain shows/movies that MUST be watched at least once every holiday season. The Muppet's Christmas Carol is an absolute MUST!! I adore that movie and have ever since I was little! I would die if I couldn't watch it one Christmas. The Peanut's Christmas, the Madagascar Christmas special (on ABC), and that weird Elf one that's on ABC are others. We also watch the Veggie Tales Christmas, but that's more for Kylee than anyone else. haha.
We also do an Advent calendar, but I'm not sure if that's a tradition or not. This year I'm thinking about putting Hershey kisses or something in it for Kylee, but she might still be too little for that.
We have Christmas jammies that are opened on Christmas Eve after church.
This year we're making it a tradition to take the babies to Build-A-Bear & see Santa :) I'm so excited!! Kylee and I are also going to bake a LOT of goodies, but I'm not sure if that can count as tradition.
:) Yeah!! Love them all. I'm going to have to google some traditions, lol. Since we're staying in SD this year we don't really have our own! Yours sound great! Next year the little Mr. will get to join in!
