In my fiance's family, there's a tradition that he and his two brothers watch "Emmit Otter's Jug Band Christmas" together on Christmas Eve. Now that he and his brothers are all grown up, we are going to continue that tradition with our daughter whose already seen it twice!

I'm pretty particular about the version of A Christmas Carol that I watch. I like the version with Alistair Simm from 1953. I found the DVD version on Amazon years ago and it has a bonus colorized version of the movie. Geez how anal can we be about our Christmas viewing.

I disagree, that is major missybal. Infact I think its awesome. It might not seem like much but it is tradition every year with you whole family. Grandmother's are great. I miss mine. I bet it means the world to her that you guys get together on Christmas. We'll have to catch up when the holidays get closer, you'll have to let me know what you get Grandma.

I almost forgot to tell you, I make all gifts for my family. I love to make quilts and pillows, and my grandmother always makes me something, she does crochet and plastic canvas. I love those kind of gifts, they are so much more special. I guess that could be called a tadition. Thanks for reminding me.

We go to the mall on Christmas Eve, it's not as crazy as you might think, and have my son's picture taken with Santa Claus. His first Christmas was 2002 and I was so busy at work that Christmas Eve was my first opportunity to take him for a picture. After that it felt meaningful.

We enjoy the Yule Traditions aswell as the Christmas Traditions. We usually open a present together on Christmas Eve and sip hot cocoa and watch crhistmas movies, or read christmas books, and sometimes listen to christmas music. The yule log is my favorite part of Yule.
This year Yule will be so much more special because we will get to celebrate it with our son.

When I was growing up, we'd go to church on Christmas Eve and spend Christmas day opening presents and relaxing, or visiting family for more presents! Now that I'm married, though, we're starting new traditions of our own. This is my husband's first Christmas at home (he was deployed last year), so we'll see how it goes!
