One ...I love the opening a present every day idea! One tradition we have started is that each year (about a week or so before Christmas), we go out as a family and have "dollar night". We eat off the dollar menu at some fast food place, then head to the Dollar Tree. The boys each pick a present for Pat and me, plus each other, their grandparents and cousins. We have loved seeing how their "thoughtfulness" in gift choices changes each year.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12522765993568195414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096157203701684950.post-9017463448372919462008-12-06T11:05:00.000-06:002008-12-06T11:05:00.000-06:00Great Post and a great idea to get other people's ...Great Post and a great idea to get other people's traditions! One thing my family does it started with my dad's sister when they were very little. Every year, for Christmas Eve dinner, instead of dinner we have a tea party with all of the cookies and goodies and finger foods and appetizers,tea and eggnog of course. It is really fun. This year we are having the tea party and then doing our adult gift exchange game. I bet your girls would love it! Even the boys and men like it!Carrie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002401363477765953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096157203701684950.post-16258922637058747262008-12-05T19:42:00.000-06:002008-12-05T19:42:00.000-06:00A few years ago we started a tradition of choosing...A few years ago we started a tradition of choosing a few of the angel tree kiddos and taking the boys to shop for the kids we picked. They pick out the gifts and we wrap them and drop them off. Hopefully it will help instill a spirit of giving. Also, we take the boys shopping for each family member seperate... it is a special treat day for them... like only me and Jake go shopping... we eat lunch, go see a movie and then do some shopping for the others. Then, another day it's Luke's turn. They rarely get to do stuff individually like that, so it is fun. Also, I am starting a new tradition this year. I am making them all matching flannel pjs to wear during the holidays. I think that years from now I will make a quilt out of them. that's the plan anyways:)Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16280155754866449204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096157203701684950.post-11590117702216551922008-12-05T18:24:00.000-06:002008-12-05T18:24:00.000-06:00What a cool idea!The kids get a special ornament e...What a cool idea!<BR/>The kids get a special ornament each year. We put the Christmas card pic into an ornament frame. Santa (my brother) calls the kids Christmas Eve night.<BR/>We do favorite finger foods dinner the night we decorate the tree. We eat breakfast at Waffle House on Christmas Eve morning (Last year we parked next to and was getting out of our car as Dale Earnhardt Jr was getting in his car-I know big deal, but we live in race car city and so does he-apparently this was a big deal. Wonder if he'll be there this year?)<BR/>We have Grandma's sticky buns for breakfast Christmas morning, Ham for lunch. That's off the top. I'm a tradition nut.

Their are 17 of us..so it's alot of fun. (the kids are worse than us..we do a lot of coercing, if you know what I mean. We want the cutest ornament, duh!)<BR/>For almost 9 years, we bought each other a hallmark keepsake ornament for christmas, but somehow they get uglier so we stopped. <BR/>We drive around the neighborhood almost every night to look at christmas lights. the kids are not buckled in, so its a treat for them.<BR/>Is that enough for you???? I've got more.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16491208471930277241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096157203701684950.post-69886542383726718622008-12-05T10:24:00.000-06:002008-12-05T10:24:00.000-06:00Chad and I started a tradition when we got married...Chad and I started a tradition when we got married of taking the photo from our holiday card that year and placing it in a small ornament frame on the tree.
