Every year at Christmas, both sides (my husband’s and mine) all travel to one of our home city’s to spend the holiday together. We have been doing it for 10 years and the memories are irreplaceable!

My favorite Christmas Tradition is leaving the lights on the tree turned on Christmas Eve and then getting up in the middle of the night and see the sparkly tree with all of the presents around it. My brothers and I use to wake each other up to do this as a kid and I still do it now as an adult.
Ok and just b/c I couldn’t resist I also love Cookie Baking Day with my Mom. We set aside one day and bake a million cookies to give out.

I too am a sucker for any and everything Christmas! My favorite tradition is going with my family to church for a candle light service on Christmas eve. Afterwards, we have snacks like ham rolls, fruit with fruit dip, cheese trays…mostly snack size foods. We are usually trying to save our belly room for Christmas dinner the next day! Have a Holly Jolly Christmas in July!

My family always gets together and makes homemade pizza on December 23rd. It’s usually the first night that everyone who is coming for the holiday are all there, so it’s a fun way to be doing a project together and laughing and catching up, and of course, EATING, all at the same time. Sometimes we get creative and try to make our pizzas look like Christmas trees or presents or Christmas ornaments. We call it Christmas Pizza:)

Thanks for the chance to win the adorable tea towel! Christmas is a wonderful holiday as we celebrate the birth of Jesus and one of my favorite traditions is attending the Christmas Eve service at our church. I love it when we light candles at the end of the service & the entire worship area shines brightly with the light from everyone’s candles and we sing Joy to the World as we exit the building.

My favorite tradition is that every Christmas Eve we choose a theme. All of our food centers around that theme as well as decorations, and usually an activity. We have gone through many countries, letters of the alphabet, types of food etc. Lots of fun!

My favorite tradition has always been going to cut down a REAL Christmas tree with my parents! We would all hike out into a field and inevitably pick out one with a crooked trunk. Yet, it was still the “most beautiful tree we’ve ever had,” according to Mom!

Favorite Christmas tradition–making gingerbread houses (last year we did trains) with the boys on Christmas Eve. Also love sneaking around doing the 12 Days of Christmas to friends or neighbors. Fun!

My favorite thing about christmas is just spending time with family. After we eat our big Christmas lunch we break out the card games and play late into the night.

What a cute design! My favorite tradition was when we always went to the zoo on Christmas and saw the animals being fed their holiday treats.

This sounds corny, but I always see my parents on Christmas–and I look forward to it especially now that I’m married and live 10 hrs away from them. The thoughts of knowing that I’d see them at least this one time each year gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

My favorite Christmas tradition is one that is celebrated just before you serve dinner, as everyone is seated at the table. We pass around small pieces of bread, that have honey drizzled over them, with a small piece of fresh garlic on top of that. Everyone takes a piece, and it symbolizes the bitterness and sweetness of life.

My favorite tradition is our Christmas Eve dinner. We all get together for a decadent seafood dinner. The gathering of family & friends is more special than the actual Christmas Day!

My parents live in a small town hours from my residence, so I love the long, cold drive up there with lots of music to sing along the way!
