I really enjoy our Christmas book countown (one per day from Dec. 1 - Dec 24) and this year I also made an advent calendar that has been fun!

One of my favorite traditions is baking cookies with my cousin. I only see her once or twice a year, so this is such a special time!

My favorite December tradition is baking! My family is "one of those" that has "secret recipes" that everyone around this time just melt over! I love the way baking brings out the joys of all the senses! Seeing rich creamy chocolate fudge boil and cook, smelling all the yummies, hearing them bubble while mixing, touching and preparing all the ingredients and of course - TASTING the delicious goodies! :)

My favorite tradition every year is our Cookie baking day. My mom, brother's family and mine all meet to mix and bake our favorite holiday treats. It's wonderful!
Thanks for your generous sponsors.

I'd have to say baking cookies with the kids. My personal favorite is watching the movies like Polar Express, Holiday Inn, White Christmas. I'm content with that.

My favorite Christmas tradition is the one we started this year!! Just a little spin on the advent calendar....my 3 year old makes an ornament each day and puts it in the pockets of the advent calendar!

A fairly new tradition which has become my favorite is going to 34th Street in Baltimore's Hampden neighborhood to see the "Christmas Street." Every house on the street is beautifully decorated for Christmas. http://www.christmasstreet.com/index1.html

One tradition that I've incorporated into my own house is to purchase Christmas ornaments on all my vacations, so that when I decorate the tree I can remember the stories of all the places that I have been. :)

My fav tradition is placing our Christmas decorations that belonged to both my gandmothers out for display. We always put them out first with their pics. Miss them soooo much!

I love the tree and looking at lights, but my favorite is our Christmas Eve fondue dinner - cheese, bread, potatoes, and champagne. You can't beat it!

My favorite Christmas tradition just started this year. Our only child is almost 3 and EVERY day she cannot wait until it is dark enough to "find Christmas"....look for Christmas lights.

My favorite december tradition is when everything is done: the gifts are completed and wrapped the house is decorated, there is something yummy baking in the oven and I am sitting on the couch curled up with my love and our two cats, sipping hot cocoa and watching Christmas movies! It's an added bonus if it is snowing :-)

My favorite tradition is reading the Christmas story right from the Bible before opening gifts. It's a time to slow down and reflect.

I love decorating the whole house as a family each December. In particular, getting out our Christmas Music Box collection and playing each song before putting them on display is a favorite. Each night we enjoy the sweet sounds of several music boxes. Hate putting them away!

My favorite is when we go home to VT and cut down our Christmas tree - and of course the hot chocolate after. Great giveaways!

My favorite tradition is going to look at Christmas lights. Since we're military and move around a lot, it's a tradition we can do anywhere we may be. Thanks for the great giveaways!

Stocking stuffer shopping Christmas Eve. I can't wait to see Oliver's eyes this year! Last year, at 1.5 years, he didn't quite "get it". Game on this year!!!!

How can I narrow my whole month of December and the festivities and books and cookie baking down to one event?... I think it has to be the magic of Lewis Botanical Gardens lit up at night and the awe and joy expressed by the kids. The garden itself to my little Eden, all year around.
