[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The angel tree tradition is a good one.

When I was growing up, each year my parents would get each kid a special tree ornament. It might reflect something memorable that happened that year. For example, if we’d taken a trip as a family or some other experience or sport/activity we were into. Or just be cool or unique. Those ornaments then were ours to decorate our own trees when we moved out/started having Christmas in our own homes.  So now I’m doing the same for our kids. [/quote]

This is a good one.  I started this when my kids were little.  We would make a special trip to Target or wherever and pick out the items specifically for our Angel tree recipient (no shopping for them).  My older kids now love picking out little kid toys and clothes.

We also still do advent calendars, cookies, decorating, lights displays, national Christmas tree, appetizers for dinner Christmas eve and filet for Christmas dinner.  My DD and I always do a holiday tea.  Also this is kind of random but we always have pie for breakfast the Friday after Thanksgiving.  I think we were to full one year and didn't eat it on Thursday so we saved it for breakfast.  Now its a thing!  [/quote]
