A day of baking Christmas cookies with my mom and sisters1
ReplyDeleteWe have a holiday tradition for welcoming in the New Year. At midnight, we all wash a dollar for good luck with money in the coming year. As a family, it is fun for all ages and at the end of the year, you have a very clean dollar to spend!
ReplyDeleteThis is Mary Doranski - I can't get it to show my name!
DeleteWaking up on Christmas morning, opening presents and eating our family recipe breakfast souffle.....every Christmas morning for 39 years!
ReplyDeleteWe love delivering presents on Christmas Eve morning for Goodfellows! We have been doing this as a family for 20+ years!

We open up one present on Christmas Eve and it is ALWAYS comfy, cozy Christmas jammies! This was a tradition my hubby's family grew up doing and now we do it with our kiddos!
ReplyDeleteSnuggling up on the sofa and watching Christmas movies in our PJs - love that time with the family!!
ReplyDeleteWe get up early, open presents at our house, have breakfast and then go to Grandma and Grandpa's house in our pajamas for Christmas lunch and lots of love!
ReplyDeleteKim Nelson- Christmas caroling!
ReplyDeleteGrowing up, our family would attend church on Xmas Eve. When we would return at Midnight my brother and I were always allowed to open one gift. We always chose the biggest, so after a few years of this my mom would wrap the smallest gift in the largest box. Need less to say, we never caught on. We continue that same tradition with our children (minus the church on Xmas Eve) :(
ReplyDeleteMidnight on Christmas eve is my favorite! It's a big celebration on my husband's side with his big family.

I love spending time with my family and making homemade ravioli. It is special because we follow my grandmother's recipe.

ReplyDeleteChristmas Eve every member of the family and guests are invited to participate in the sharing of opłatek (wafer), an old Polish Christmas tradition, before dinner. Everyone holds a piece of opłatek, and you break a small piece of his/her wafer while you wishes something (For example: I may break a small piece of my sister's wafer, and tell her that I wish her happiness in the upcoming year or I might say something I'd try to do- like visit her more.) Everyone goes around wishing sentiments until they don't have any left. Afterwards,you may eat the wafer pieces. Sometimes family from Poland send Christmas cards with pieces opłatek.

ReplyDeleteEveryone in my family cooks whatever they want and nothing has to go together. We’ve had some years with tacos, spaghetti and bbq ribs! Recently my go-to is Italian Wedding Soup and high maintenance dinner rolls.
Our family makes fudge during the first snow of the season! We chill it by placing the pan in the snow!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSpending time with family that we don't get to see as much throughout the year:)- Tiffany
ReplyDeleteGrowing up I loved the things my parents put in our stockings the most. I have continued this tradition with my own daughters. Now that they are older they want money of course, but they still want their stockings! Sue Bird- KME
