We then buy a t shirt to match the fabric and the younger members of the family get to decorate the tshirt.
This Christmas I made 23 pj bottoms for my family and also made an additional 20 pairs for my sister-in-laws special needs kindergarten class.
I once suggested that we not do pjs any more and you would have thought I was canceling Christmas.

The party is for their dolls so we play games..eat tiny treats and exchange gifts with each others dolls.The dolls each had a tiny stocking which Santa came to Mimis house and filled..they trimmed a doll size tree and the girls sang Christmas songs.. It so much fun seeing Christmas through the eyes of children. They even got Mimi a doll ..Her name is Lizzy-beth and she got lots of beautiful gifts from their dolls! We will do this every year until they want to stop…which they said I have to be very very old because their little girls will want to come too.
I have pictures posted on my fb page…
During the week between Christmas and New Year’s, my husband and children pick their favorite meals. From eggplant parmesan to country fried steak, it is a culinary party every night.

My favorite holiday tradition is one that I started when my daughter was very young. We spend the day shopping then stop to eat lunch at her favorite restaurant. We always leave our server a very large tip for Christmas. It’s like a little secret between Mom and daughter that we treasure.

Christmas was my grandfather, father, and mothers favorite time of year. When my grandfather died my father started the tradition. We had a Christmas picnic at his grave eating his favorite foods and telling him about our lives. We did this with my mother when she died and my father when he passed away. So each year the three sisters, and two brothers make ever effort to continue the tradition. We even bring a small Christmas tree with battery lights because my mother loved lights. Though our spouses and our children do not always come, nor can each of meet each year, whoever is closest continues the tradition. We miss them very much and appreciate all the warmth and love they give us and taught us to give to others. I wish each of you a wonderful and happy year. Keep your traditions close to your heart because these are what gives you comfort when your love ones are gone.

Every year we spend the night at grandmas house and then on Black Friday, we skip out on the shopping frenzy and visit the Tree Farm where we ride wagons pulled by Draft horses out into the tree field where we begin our picking. Once we have chosen our tree we get it cut down and hauled to the shed where they level it and shake all the critters out. We enjoy warm cider and let the kids pick out their yearly addition to our tree ornaments. On the way home (which is an hour and a half away) we drive through the city park Christmas Light Display with over 100 displays and stop at Pizza Hut for dinner. We truly look forward to this family tradition every year!

This tree farm is special to me because I was first taken to this very farm when I was a baby and that has continued yearly each year and continued after I was married and had my own children. And this year was even more special as we took our 3rd Granddaughter with us for her very first Christmas and first visit to see Santa Claus. The same family has owned this tree farm all these years as well and is now being run by the 4th generation in their family. There were about three years when I was not able to go (health reasons) and it just didn’t feel like Christmas because we hadn’t gone out there.

My favorite holiday tradition is doing a Secret Santa with a neighbor. We choose a different one each year; this year’s gifts went towards a friend who had a family member who was sick with a cold on Christmas Day. We pick a small gift for the family and then “white elephant” type gifts for each individual family member. (This year, the kids received rag dolls in crazy colors, while the parents received a can of soup and hot chocolate.) We then put all the gifts in one box, wrap it, and drive over to their house. We drop it off on the front porch and play Ding Dong Ditch! Then we drive away and get back home before they can find us. It’s crazy fun!

My favorite holiday tradition is going to a walk-through live nativity called journey to Bethlehem. It takes you about an hour to walk through the whole thing and it the setting is in Bible times. You go in a group and you have a worker who pretends to be a caravan leader and he takes you to “pay” your taxes in Jerusalem. Along the way you meet the three wisemen, visit the shepherds, and once you are done with your journey you see baby Jesus in the manger. It is AMAZING!

Then stockings are hung by the fire before going to bed and on Christmas morning we discover Santa has been there and continue with American Christmas traditions.
My family started a new Christmas tradition about 5 years ago. Every year in Nov. we get together and decide how we want to decorate our tree. Each year it is a new theme. Over the years we have done tree’s covered in all candy, birds and nests, favorite photographs…We start decorating on Dec. 1 and add new things to go with our theme every day until Christmas eve. Last year was the toughest! We decided to put things on, that had meaning to us. By Christmas eve we had DVDs, books, mini paintings, awards, socks, etc. (yes, I said socks. They were her favorite pair??) Because of Super Storm Sandy we were not able to do our usual tradition, so we just decorated pine cones on Christmas eve. We still had such fun together and that is what really matters! Who know what we will come up with next year??
Baking cookies with the kids then the cookie exchange

It was an effort to finally get going to look at the lights. However, Santa always just happened to have been at our house while we were gone. Whew!! some years that took quite some sycronizing (?).
