My favorite Holiday tradition is pretty basic lol, love putting up the tree, and I love to do a lot of baking and cooking with my family.

    We have a tradition of filling each other's Christmas stockings in my family. One day we go shopping and buy all the little things. We kind of make a day of it.
    We also have a tradition of decorating cookies on Christmas eve.
    Those are probably my two favorite holiday activities.

    It used to be the city Christmas parade, but then it was taken over by a hospital system and turned into a boring "parade" of hospital vehicles and very few floats. Ugh.

    Now I really like window shopping and hitting up antique shops downtown and then stopping in for coffee and treats to warm up.

    I don't put up a tree any more, I have 2 Christmas tree/ornament destructive cats.. :cry:

    I'm on vacation the last two weeks of every year through new years. I spend as much time with my daughters during my break. I love baking for Christmas, I bake a ton of stuff and give away most of it.

    You guys are amazing! My mom and I decided on a mini tree already done up this year! The big kicker is I had already gotten all my Christmas shopping done like on November 1st before the snow started falling, I felt pretty accomplished!

    My neighborhood has an AMAZING drive through Christmas lights display. It’s called lights in the parkway. Me and my mom go every year.

    Oddly, my household seems to enjoy New Years Eve the most. We play board games together, for the only time in the year we do so. The only food tradition is black-eyed peas and cornbread, and that's supremely easy. We can all stay up late and sleep late the next day without anyone having to worry about going to work.

    Lights on the Lake is pretty cool, but only when they let you walk through. Driving through is kind of boring. And my husband, son and I do 12 Days of Christmas. Every year one of us plays Santa and gifts something small (think Dollar Tree or Five Below) to the others every day through the Epiphany. It's a fun way to keep the spirit going.

    We do board games on NYE, too! It gets pretty rowdy sometimes. :D
