I'm a fan of the framed print!

Our favorite is decorating the tree with ornaments from throughout the years--it's fun when the kids remember when they got a certain tree decoration.

Looking forward to seeing days 4,5 and 6 of your December Daily.

Sinterklaas. In Holland we celebrate Sinterklaas (Sint Nicolas) on December 5th. Children get presents from Sint and his helpers (zwarte pieten) if they have been good. Grown ups give eachother presents with poems that highlight the receivers idiosynchrasies and some very creative wrapping (I made someone a rocket once, although sending someone on a treasure hunt is another popular option).

To bake gingerbread cookies with my children and my sister and her children is a wonderful Christmas tradition. We began to bake with our mother and then we continued. It's so fun to see the creativity of our children.

My favorite December tradition is everyone gathering at my parents home on Christmas eve for a big dinner and gift exchange. There are now over 40 of us! Right after dinner we all attend Christmas eve mass together and then go back for the exchange. Always lots of fun.

my favorite is wrapping up in our handmade quilts and having hot cocoa and a fire with the first snow. Plus it's my little girl's birthday on the equinox making december extra special.

Although we have no mexican heritage, we have a Mexican themed dinner on Christmas Eve before heading out to church service. I fix homeade burritos, salsa and chips a great sour cream and bean dip and tortilla soup.

My favorite Christmas tradition is making cookies from my grandma's recipes, giving cookies for gifts and eating them. I want to make them every year, but not. I hope to make some more next year.

Our family tradition is touring lights on a very specific street that my husband asked me to marry him on just about 8 years ago now. It was a magical night!

After moving to Portland this year looking for some new traditions to do in the city (thinking zoo lights). In Seattle we would alway take the family downtown and ride the carousel and ride in the horse drawn carriage.

My favorite Christmas tradition is making cookies from my grandma's cookies, giving some for gifts and eating my favorite cookie from grandma is Thumb Print Cookie. I miss it because I don't make them every year, but will make them next year, hopefully.

Making and decorating Christmas cookie- hands down! I loved doing it as a kids and now I get to do it with my kids and wrap them to give away.

We have so many December traditions. My favorite would have to be taking the boys to see Santa at a local bakery shop that puts on a Country Christmas every year. It is so much fun and yet so simple!

My fave December tradition...definitely listening to the kids on Sinterklaas morning, eagerly waiting for us to unlock the front door so they can get their presents he left for them. The magic in their voices is so amazingly adorable and inspiring to believe.

My favorite December tradition is doing the 12 days of Christmas for my kids.

We sing Letania which is a Christmas song representing when Joseph and Mary were walking through the streets and asking for room at the various inns. Also, everyone hugs each other at midnight and we wish each other a Merry Christmas.

Love decorating the tree while listening to Christmas music.

We have several traditions but one that is so important to us is all going to Christmas Eve mass together as a family- our three families stop whatever we are doing in the holiday madness and come together for mass. It really brings home to meaning of Christmas for us.

Favorite Dec tradition; getting the house ready for the season, it truly is a resformation.

My favorite December tradition is baking christmas goodies with my two favorite people..my kids. This time together is priceless for us.

my daughter and i have been making christmas ornaments together for the past 2 years, i hope this continues well into my old old age. {she's turning 5 in week}

We go to downtown and look at the beautiful tree in Pioneer Place and go to M&F I mean Macy's to Santa Land. The kids think that is the real Santa and enjoy the tradition year after year.

I really enjoy Christmas with my husband's family, which is always on the 31st. We all open presents and have dinner, then put the kids to bed. Afterward, the adults play a board game and drag ourselves on until the ball drops. Then, we anticlimactically drop into bed.

A December tradition is driving at a nearby neighborhood to view their holiday lights. It's so neat to now be able to show my own boys some of my all time favorite childhood decorations.
