My favorite holiday tradition is St. Nicholas. My Mom did this when we were kids, a small something in our shoes on the Morning of St. Nicholas day. It helped remind us to be good and that the holiday really was coming. Now my two LOVE this as well. It's never anything big but always something they will love.

When I was growing up our family lived half way across the country from any relatives so my parents (and particularly my mom) had to come up with new traditions for our immediate family. One was the opening of the Advent calendar. Each child took turns and it was always exciting to see what was behind each flap. Even though DH and I don't have children, I continue that tradition for the two of us.

One of my favorite traditions is planning the stockings for my family to open on Christmas morning. My kids are in college now and this tradition is still looked forward to, but this year's request include index cards, coffee mugs, quarters for laundry, and air freshners for the dorm room.................oh, they grow up too quickly!!!

My childhood favorite tradition was going to Prange's Dept. Store and visiting with "Bruce the Spruce" an animatronic tree that had a super fun person hidden inside. He always knew just what to say to get kids' attention! Our NEW tradition is to do a charity run. I could NOT run a mile as a child. I was terrified--sick to my stomach terrified--when we had to do it in school. I will not raise my kids to be that out of shape. So, yesterday, my 5 yo son and I ran an entire mile together in a Holiday Hustle. We held hands and and he made it. With a promise of kettle corn at the end. I am so proud of him! And I won my age category. Woot! :)

There are so many this time of year. I guess today, I'd say the night of christmas eve-all the family events we go to, staying up late, lots of hugs all around.

We have several traditions, but mine would probably be attending the annual Christmas parade and looking at Christmas lights.

We always go to see a Holiday light display every year. I try to bring along hot chocolate & put the radio on Christmas music as we are driving through it to make it more festive. Even though the kids are teenagers now and may grumble about going (it's not "cool" anymore!), I still like going. Also, it's for a great cause, Make-A-Wish foundation, so you feel like you are giving back too.

My favorite December tradition? Staying with my parents on Christmas eve, and setting out cookies and milk for Santa. Then waking up early to set out Christmas presents! This year will be so much fun because my daughter's getting close to two. Last year she was too young to really care.

My favorite tradion these days is hanging our advent calendar and filling it with treats each night. I got the idea for our advent calendar from this blog, and I get a lot of compliments on it!

My favorite tradition is taking our daughter to get pictures with Santa. It's fun to look back every year at times she was excited or scared or anxious. They are some of the funniest pictures.

ooohhh soo many--one fav is pulling out the preschool ornaments all the kids made. We fill our kitchen tree with 4 kids worth--- and still making new ones with my craft hostages!

My favorite Christmas tradition is to purchase a photo ornament each year to place on the tree. Some years we get a family photo ornament too. It makes decorating the tree so memorable. We each love looking at the old photos and other ornaments with special memories.

I love putting the tree up as a family. I love hearing my grown children hang the ornaments starting sentences with "Remember this one..." and then going on to tell the stories behind the ornaments.

My husband was NOT really thrilled with our family's tradition when he married me.....Mom always cooks fried oysters with our Christmas morning breakfast Ü Even when it is just the two of us for Christmas, I still make a small batch just for me.

My favorite Christmas tradition is watching the lights of the (huge!) Christmas tree on the marketsquare get lit. That evening the whole town is only illuminated by Christmas lights.
