Day 10 is all about Tradition! What is your FAVORITE yearly Holiday Tradition you and your family have? Mine was (Before I moved from home) setting up our Christmas Tree on Dec 1st and then decorating it slowly through the month. I'll have to find a new one soon! My Fiance and I just bought a house on Nov 30th, so maybe we'll do something Yearly to celebrate that! 

Let's hear YOUR Favorite! Each participant will gain 2mil HPD! 

My favorite is definitely just getting together with my grandparents. We've taken precautions for this year, so we can still be in the same house and talk to each other beetween a giant clear sheet lol. But it's great for us to still be able to do that.

My tradition is to put up the decorations within a week after Santa goes by at the Macy's Parade. This to me is the start of Christmas.

On Christmas Eve, I let my son open one gift. Christmas Day I'll have muffins or something with eggnog (can't drink a lot of it though), put the Yule Log station on the TV (no fireplace) and then open gifts.

Afterwards we hop into the car for the 45 minute jaunt to my sister's house. There we eat, open gifts and usually play Scrabble.

When I was a kid my parents would go through so much effort to convince me and my brothers that santa was real and had been to our house. They'd stick boots in flour and leave "snowy" footprints from the doorsteps to the ground, I always loved that lol. I miss having that magical excitement about christmas! Me and my boyfriend just got a house and don't have any real traditions yet, but we do take our daughter to Ocean City where they have a christmas lights festival. You get on a little train with hot coco and get driven around to look at miles of the most magnificent lights that they set up, of course we wont be able to do that this year- but I'd like to do that every christmas. I hope before my daughter is old enough to really understand christmas we can think of some fun traditions for her and us to enjoy as a family (:

Christmas cookies! I spend at least 2 days in the kitchen making cinnamon log cookies, thumbprint cookies, peanut butter surprise cookies, candycane sugar cookies, hot cocoa cookies, molasses cookies, gingerbread cookies, red velvet crinkle cookies, shortbreads, Christmas tree brownies, the whole nine yards. I love baking and I can't wait to start this year!

since I was a little kid we've always watched How the Grinch stole Christmas (the old cartoon version, not the modern live action movie) while having a glass of eggnog (the non-alcholic kind). 

Also my grandparents used to take most of the family out for dinner on Christmas eve because my grandmother didn't want to cook on Christmas eve when she was going to have to cook all day the next day for Christmas dinner. 

My family tradition with my parents was to open 1 present on Christmas Eve! 

Now, Steph and I's tradition is to decorate the tree with ornaments that we got from each National Park we've visited! 

My favourite thing involves 2 days...Beginning of September my family and my dad's best friend's family go cut down a tree together, then they come over to our place for dinner and pictionary (usually girls vs boys!). Then on Christmas eve we usually go to church (only time of the year) then over to their house for nibblies and chat.

My favorite tradition is spending a day or two with my Aunt and we bake the holiday family treat recipes. Some of the recipes are pretty old and come from 4 or 5 generations back. We make shortbread cookies, mini pecan pies (they're called pecan tassies), dummie yummies (which are like a chocolate chip meringue things), baklava, fudge, peanut brittle, and more :)

The kids get one gift on Christmas.  It's a box that contains 1 set of christmas jammies per kid, 1 Christmas movie, popcorn, a family set of hot coco, a new Christmas book, and movie snacks. We watch our movie before reading our book and then head to bed.

Unfortunately my family doesn't really do a lot of Christmas traditions anymore. The one that I try to make sure I keep up with annually is picking out the one new ornament for the year. I try to make sure it fits something memorable for the year and date it somewhere if possible to remember which year it was for. 

Taking out all of our Christmas decorations right after Thanksgiving. Decorating the tree over that weekend, then throughout the month watching Christmas movies and listening to the festive music! HP's 24 DoC has become a staple for me each year haha! Love having something to look forward to each day. Chirstmas eve going to our Candle light Service and usually opening up one gift. Then on Christmas day opening of gifts and having a nice lunch/dinner, almost similar to Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings. The kitties LOVE to play in all the un-wrapped wrapping paper so we let the place be messy the rest of the day for them haha!

When I was a kid our tradition was on Chirstmas Eve, and to this day Christmas Eve is more special to me than actual Christmas day. My mom would make snack plates, and desserts, etc. and we would go drive around looking at all the Christmas lights throughout town, then when we were done we would come back home, put on our jammies and have hot chocolate and get to open one present of our choosing. We would end the night by watching a Christmas movie and then off to bed to wait for Santa. It really made Christmas all that more special for me and I hope to do that with my own kids (when I have them) some day. Christmas is a lot quieter this year due to Covid, and me and my husband will be spending it home, just the 2 of us and our dog.

Another Aussie here, hello from Western Australia! Our family comes and sets up tents in the horses paddocks and we suffer through the heat with various inflateable pools and water games.  It wouldn't be Christmas without the fresh seafood, freshly caught blue manna crabs and prawns are our favourite though.

We celebrate Icelandic Christmas which is where you give each other books on Christmas Eve then snuggle down and read them in front of the Christmas Tree with a hot chocolate. It's our way of sharing things we love with each other.
