    My favorite would have to be combining Christmas and Hanukkah dinner into one. Since I'm Jewish on my Mom's side and my Dad's family is Jewish and Methodist, we usually mix our normal Christmas dinner with Jewish foods like kugel and other things. :)

    Having a ham dinner in front of the television watching the 1951 version of Scrooge with Alistair Sim. Following dinner with home made Egg Nog.

    Attending Christmas Eve mass and getting out of church at midnight. Often there is light snow falling and it is just magical.

    We usually did something different when I was a child. We had a big taco feast for Christmas dinner. Now that I am married and have a family of my own, my favorite holiday tradition is, just being together as a family and enjoying the season.

    My favorite Christmas tradition is going to Christmas Eve mass with my whole family, we take up a whole pew. Next tradition is of course opening gifts around the tree in our PJ's. Third tradition playing games with the family around the table.

    Aww these are awesome :) I love this!

    This year, my best friend and I are spending it together, but we don't have much money for gifts or a fancy dinner.. We decided to volunteer at a local soup kitchen instead. Maybe this will be a new tradition for us :)

    My daugher is born on Christnmas Eve. Our family tradition since she was 3 is the family going to breakfast together on Christmas Eve at Shoney's before finishing our Christmas shopping. I am looking forward to our family going to breakfast together and she will be 24 this year. Praise God!!!
