This year we have a new house and new family – we are looking forward to starting some new traditions!

My favorite tradition is having all my fathers brothers/sisters and their children and now their childrens children get togather on Christmas eve for fellowship and Santa comes with a small gift for each child. The sparkle in the kids eyes when he shows up and they get to see him up close and personal is something that puts a big smile on my face. This is something that is so special in our family and even ex spouses have no problem letting their kids come and see the family.
Bianca November 22, 2011 at 9:59 am
Our favorite tradition is playing secrete-Santa, my In-laws choose a person from my family(randomly) and vice versa, we set a $20.00 budget for the gift. It’s fun to include everyone, even when you’re on a tight budget everybody gets at least one gift. =)

This is an awesome deal! We love fresh trees in our house but the cost is so expensive that we have had to use an artificial tree the last few years! : (

A tradition that my wife is planning on starting this year with our two year old daughter is baking cookies and decorating them on Christmas Eve, for Santa and of course a few for us. We look forward to our newborn being old enough to also join in on all the fun with her mom and big sister.

It’s my favorite holiday and each year it is more fun as the kids get older. They appreciate EVERYTHING we do…right down to the littlest of things. We’ve been travelling, out of state, or the kids were babies the past 5 years so we haven’t established any traditions we do EVERY year. It’ something I look forward to developing. I do look forward to decorating the tree and we let the kids pick out ornaments this year (lol..used my JCP coupons!) and so Cinderalla and Woody will be on our tree. There have been years we’ve had to use my little fake tree I’ve had since college because we put our Christmas tree money towards our baggage fees when we fly. However, it looks like we will be home this year and I am very excited about a real tree smell again. It’s been 3 years! Great giveaway. I’ll snag the deal if we don’t win.

We love counting down to Christmas with advent calendars.
Michelle November 22, 2011 at 10:32 am
My favorite family tradition is being with the whole family, eating breakfast after opening presents, and drinking hot chocolate.
Elaine B November 22, 2011 at 10:32 am
A tradition that I love is buying all the little kids in the family Christmas pj’s. I give the pj’s to them on Thanksgiving and they all wear them that night to start the Christmas season.
Amanda D November 22, 2011 at 10:33 am
My favorite tradition is going to pick out the PERFECT Christmas tree and then decorating it with the family. We love pulling out the ornaments and trying to remember where they all came from. <3
carly perez November 22, 2011 at 10:42 am
One of our favorites is The Elf on the Shelf – the kids love looking for the elf everyday! Another one is a new christmas ornament on christmas eve, and reading the christmas story!
Kelly November 22, 2011 at 10:56 am
We have family all over the country and I always bake fancy decorated Christmas cookies and ship them to them for Christmas.
It’s something I love to do, and something they love to eat! :^)
Michelle Mathat via Facebook November 22, 2011 at 11:04 am
What a great deal! We always buy our tree from there
Brad B November 22, 2011 at 11:13 am
We are planning on resuming the tradition of a fresh Christmas tree. Last Christmas, my wife was almost 9 months pregnant and things were so hectic we were unable to have a fresh tree. I remember as a boy going to pick out the “perfect” tree from the tree lot. Sometimes we would even go and cut one down. I even wrote a short story for English class once about the perfect tree glistening on the lot. I will be taking my three girls to pick out a tree this weekend!
Barbie November 22, 2011 at 11:20 am
It’s hard to pick my favorite tradition but it has to be between going to pick out the best Christmas tree and decorating it and making yummy cookies to share with neighbors and co-workers.
Alicia November 22, 2011 at 11:34 am
Watching Christmas Vacation is my favorite tradition.
Kristy November 22, 2011 at 12:16 pm
One of our favorite traditions the past several years has been participating in the Live Nativity at church. We have been the Holy Family (when we had a little guy) and my daughter and I have been Angels for the last several years. We love it.
Karen Crabtree November 22, 2011 at 12:48 pm
My family and I are pretty traditional. We love cooking the huge dinner after going out together to select a tree and then bringing it home to decorate. I also have to go out the minute they’re available and find the cinnamon dipped broom to post up in the living room. The house smells good all holiday season long!
liv November 22, 2011 at 12:50 pm
making tamales every year at my grandparents house. having xmas eve over at their house, and then waking up on christmas morning and get a set a pjs from my parents!
Melissa Lienhard November 22, 2011 at 2:15 pm
My favorite tradition with my family is having brunch on Christmas morning and watching the kids open up their presents bright and early!
Deb November 22, 2011 at 2:30 pm
My favorite Christmas tradition is driving around with the kids to look at Christmas lights. We save the most decorated house in our area for last because they have hot chocolate and Santa. We always get great pics.
Christy November 22, 2011 at 2:32 pm
Having all of my family over on Christmas Eve for dinner
Jessica G November 22, 2011 at 2:56 pm
My favorite Christmas tradition is that we all open new pajamas on Christmas Eve so that everyone goes to bed and wakes up in their new jammies. The kids love it!
Rachelle R November 22, 2011 at 3:03 pm
our favorite tradition is hanging up new christmas ornaments we chose for that year
Elisa Garcia Mendoza via Facebook November 22, 2011 at 3:05 pm
How much are the trees (usually)?
Jessica November 22, 2011 at 3:06 pm
Can’t wait to get my Christmas tree up after Thanksgiving! I love the holidays!
Ginny Logan via Facebook November 22, 2011 at 4:14 pm
Just waiting for you to get your Starbucks so you can get to announcing the winner.
If I don’t win I’m totally taking advantage of this deal. I highly recommend the Mint Mocha Frappacino. It was warm in Antioch today though…a warm coffee might be better. Mmm…just took the last sip of my frap. 
Ok, just teasing about waiting. I will check back later.
Jen November 22, 2011 at 5:05 pm
Going tree shopping the day after Thanksgiving!
Jean A November 22, 2011 at 6:33 pm
Definitely going around town and enjoy all the lights and festivities.

I started making Jesus’ birthday cake when my daughter was born. She and my niece have decorated it every year and as an extended family we sing “Happy Birthday” to Jesus after Christmas dinner and before our now traditional multi-generational board game night. 13 Christmases later we’ll be doing it again only this year it will be just the two of us carrying on the tradition as we won’t be spending it w/family due to my daughter’s medical condition that prevents us from travelling.
