What is your favorite tradition that you're looking forward to sharing with LO? Reading the Christmas story in our jammies on Christmas Eve!
What is your favorite tradition that you're looking forward to sharing with LO? We didn't really have any traditional traditions growing up but we have sort of adopted the Christmas onesie pajamas for DD. She's gotten a new pair every Christmas.

I just got back their Christmas pj photos that we do every year(and plan on making them do into their teens, haha)
What is your favorite tradition that you're looking forward to sharing with LO?: My favorite family traditions that we share w/ the kids already are putting the tree up & watching Christmas movies, going to local Christmas parades, and Christmas morning at our house where my husband's family all come over for breakfast and we open presents!

What is your favorite tradition that you're looking forward to sharing with LO?: This is our 10 month old's first Christmas, so I'm pulling out all the stops. Matching family pjs, a yearly ornament, movies, candies, etc. DH's tradition is to watch Opus' A Wish for Things that Work on Christmas Eve, so we'll do that. This is the first year we're not traveling, so I'll host family at our house for the festivities!
The tradition that I'm most looking forward to sharing with LO is wheny mom hides the pickle ornament on the tree and all the kidd look for it. The one who finds it gets a special prize.
Also, every time I'm at my parents' house, I change her Noel statue to say Leon, and wait to see how long it takes her to notice and I can't wait for my LOs to help me! I know it's silly, but we love it!

We do a local Christmas parade, decorate the house and the Christmas tree, matching PJs, find the pickle ornament (which will be much more fun when there are two kids looking for it), and we host a Christmas breakfast at our house for the entire family.
We have taken our kids to our local light show the last few years on Christmas Eve. They always have Santa there and it’s fun. I think we are going to make it tradition and do it yearly now. They kids seem to really enjoy it.
everything. We get our tree right after thanksgiving and decorate the house! I love doing christmas crafts and taking Christmas pictures. We got an elf this year, proving hard to remember than I thought it would lol and I thought I’d be more creative.. Christmas cookies!! I love this time of year.

Since it's DS's first Christmas we're going all out. I always do a lot of baking and we see Grinch the musical every year. This year we added pictures with Santa and I just got us matching pajamas for Christmas morning.

DD was only 10 months for Christmas last year so we didn’t fully establish any new traditions but this year I’m hoping to! We just got our tree up and have been reading her a Christmas book and she’s getting very into it!
And we do all the things.
I love allllll the traditions. I make ornaments with my nieces and nephews every year, bake cookies, and we’ve started gifting a book a Christmas Eve to my son that we read before bed that were continuing. We also go see the Holiday lights at a brewery every winter.
What is your favorite tradition that you're looking forward to sharing with LO? I'm just excited to share in the fun! We already have such a big blend of winter celebrations, it'll be fun to add one more kid to the mix!
We alternate between giving small gifts and gelt (chocolate and real money) during Hanukkah, after lighting the Menorah. We fill the kids stockings to celebrate St. Nick (they get jammies and treats). We participate in a solstice bonfire for Yule. And then all the typical Christmas traditions!

I haven't really been enthusiastic the holidays for the last few years, so I don't have any special traditions but I am looking forward to decorating the tree with our LO and buying all the cute "My First Christmas" outfits!

What is your favorite tradition that you're looking forward to sharing with LO? I was excited to decorate with DD (3.5) this year because she actually got excited and was able to help more this year. I'm also excited for matching Christmas jammies!
In my family we always visited my dad's parents on Christmas Eve and when we got home the elves had left us matching pajamas on our beds. I'm hoping to keep that up
What is your favorite tradition that you're looking forward to sharing with LO? A new Christmas storybook each night in December leading up to Christmas (in Christmas PJs, of course) and decorating gingerbread cookies and delivering them to some of the older folks in our neighborhood. My family used to always do a volunteer project on Christmas Eve, so I hope we start that with our family!
