[quote=Anonymous]When we were really little, we'd do nightly "christmas light walks".  Mom and dad would have a few things we were looking for ("Tonight, do you think we can find a house with only 1 color lights? And another where they have rainbow lights in the trees?") and we'd go off in search of the goal.

In my family now, we put up the Christmas tree on black Friday and reminisce through the ornaments (we get one on every vacation and our son gets one for every year with something special about the year--his first word, something he loved that year, etc).

We have a couple special treats we make every year.  Buckeyes are the big one (despite not being from ohio).  It's a group effort--we'll invite neighbors and friends to help roll the balls or dip in the chocolate.

The last 3 years we've done Meadowlark's walk of lights too.  I really like that one.

When my son was a baby, he was a miserable kid.  We dubbed him "Cranky the Christmas Elf", and bought big bottles of flavored seasonal beers to share with the adults in the family on Christmas Eve to thank them for putting up with "Cranky".  We did beer tastings of all the different ones, and it was a hit.  Now every year on Christmas Eve Cranky leaves beer in the grown ups' stockings, and the adults sample flights of fun stuff while finishing up wrapping gifts, assembling items, or just socializing.[/quote]
