Title: Christmas Traditions
Post by: ReddGirl on December 15, 2006, 02:25:00 PM: What's your favorite Christmas Tradition?

For us we always open one present on Christmas eve. On Christmas morning I prepare a breakfast casserole and we go into the family room and open presents and eat.

Christmas Eve is starting to be a day I spend with family that I won't see on Christmas. We eat gumbo and share gifts. We started this about 3 years ago.

Yeah, I guess there's more emphasis on food & time together rather than presents.

Now if only the kids would stop expecting things... ::) ;D

Post by: silky on December 19, 2006, 06:06:26 PM: We really don't do anything special. We get up, I tell Jesus Happy B-day,we open presents, we tell each other thank you, we thank the Lord, and then we proceed playing with our "toys". Then we eat (the best part). I love Christmas dinner ;D
