And so this is Christmas.
I being a big believer in tradition have many rituals that my daughters hate during the holidays. I think the biggest one is opening up one present on Christmas eve already knowing it's new pj's and slippers. (they caught on to this about 10 years ago) So what traditions do you do with your families during the holiday season? (if this poll has already been done i'm sorry but i'm new here.lol)

 My family and I open all of our presents at midnight, right after everyone leaves my mom's annual Christmas Eve party. Every year we get a new pair of PJs and take pictures in them.

 My family has always taken a group picture on the inside stairway on Christmas morning.  I've missed that a few times since moving to Florida, but my wife's family does the whole pajama thing on Christmas eve.

 i have 12 brothers and sisters so you can imagine what christmas looked like and growing up we were always made to open each gift one person at a time so it took about two to four hours to open them all

 With my huge family and extended family... We start on December 23rd w/ my Mom's family, then Christmas Eve with my Dad's family.  That way, we didn't have to cut it short or try to go 2 places in one night.

Then Christmas morning, is just immediate family (kids and me & now new boyfriend and kids) and we do our presents and stockings.... Then the kids get picked up by their Dad around 10:00 and spend the day with his family on Christmas Day. 

Then my one year anniversary with my boyfriend is on December 26th... Yay!  So I get to celebrate after too!!!!

We all get together in my mom's house, we have dinner (we eat like if there's no tomorrow) , watch movies, play music and at midnight we exchange presents. Next day we go back to eat (a looot again) and basically we just lay on the couches or the rug to talk and wait for next meal...I feel like a pig those days

 My mother always has Christmas Eve at her house, and we open one present, also.  We don't HAVE to open a specific one, although usually there are some that are "off-limits" (now she doesn't even put them under the tree until after we've opened one gift).

 As we have gotten older alot of changes and traditions have gone by the wayside.   This year  my siblings and our families are having a Christmas get together the first Sat. of Dec.  We all use to  have dinner at  our parents the Sunday closest to Dec. 9th, my dads birthday, and we would put up their tree.  The 23rd my family and i will meet at my sons and Christmas Eve my two daughters and youngest grandson and I will go out to eat and  maybe do some christmas visitation afterwards.  Christmas Day  has not been decided yet but most likely my oldest daughter will fix dinner for us.  As long as my mom was living we always went there Christmas Eve and would go back for breakfast and  to get our stockings on Christmas morning.   Yes i had a stocking until i was 52 yrs old.

Well I think that no matter what the tradition or what house you are at it is nice to know you are home. I know so many don't have that, and I for one look at my children (now almost grown) and realize I am truly blessed, this year will not be like it normally is, but there will be love, family, and knowing theres new pj's lol.

 Our tradition is going to Grandma and Grandpa's for Christmas Eve, have dinner, sing carols, and open all the presents. Christmas day is when it's "Dinner" at 3pm and the rest of the day is either playing with whatever we got, watching some football, or playing cards.

You were never forgotten my dear.

The kids have a tradition of having hot chocolate with a candy cane in the cup on Christmas morning.

We don't open any gifts before December 25th.

My wife will always include some "family" DVD's for common enjoyment so we watch those in the afternoon...

My immediate family is my wife and four kids. The three younger kids have their father here, so they go to spend time with them also. My mother-in-law lives here so she's involved. Other than that none of our family is around. We're in Colorado, mine is in Georgia and hers is in Michigan. In fact, the last time I visited home was Christmas '06; I need to get back!
