We make sugar cookies on Christmas Eve for Santa and are allowed to open one gift on Christmas Eve. Christmas morning consists of mommy making Swedish pancakes served with bacon. Although those traditions are nice, we're in the process of developing our own family traditions. I think once the kids get older, we'll go to the homeless shelter and serve food every holiday.Marahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02858743869779127987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603895221264624626.post-65095582136809789542008-12-27T20:27:00.000-08:002008-12-27T20:27:00.000-08:00Our traditions center around family and food, most...Our traditions center around family and food, mostly. We always visit the same family members in the same order, we have certain dishes that the same person always makes, etc.<BR/><BR/>I think the important thing about traditions is that they are meaningful to you. Some of the most memorable traditions from my childhood are the least "important," but they became part of my definition of Christmas. Some you can set out to do deliberately, but in my experience most kind of happen organically.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05505898243894635217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603895221264624626.post-3408714319073096262008-12-27T19:26:00.000-08:002008-12-27T19:26:00.000-08:00Wow, that is so interesting to me.

We do all the things others have already mentioned. One that hasn't been mentioned is special foods--there are things that I cook/bake only at Christmas time. It is something we all look forward to. Usually it is something that is time consuming or expensive (or majorly fattening!) which is why we don't have it all year long.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660156433881882098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603895221264624626.post-59021679707869592232008-12-27T12:54:00.000-08:002008-12-27T12:54:00.000-08:00We always buy ornaments the day after Christmas to...We always buy ornaments the day after Christmas too!
