What are your family Christmas traditions?
Growing up I always loved piling up in the family car and goign out to view Christmas lights. We had to drive an hour but it was worth it. The neighborhood we went to was HUGE and the whole place decorated for the Holidays. Each street had a theme. It was so much fun.
Now what do we do, well before we had kids we would do different things.
Sometimes we would go to Texas, or I would go by myself. When we stayed in Washington, we never waited until Christmas to open presents anyway. That isn’t what Christmas is.
So now, we have a Christmas book that tells the story of the birth of Jesus. It is a touch and feel book and we read it to Zoe, now we will read it to both of the.
We like to fill Stockings up with goodies. Both my husband and I have fond memories of stockings. It took us four hours last year to open presents because it was so fun doing it ALL with our daughter.
She even opened the dog’s stocking.

Dropping by from Mom Dot’s Blog Party! We used to pile in the front of my Dad’s truck (no seatbelts used back then).

We love looking at Christmas light and nativity displays too. I forgot to mention that in my post! Thanks for your post today!
Jake opened the dog’s stocking too the one year I actually brought some out. Cute picture! Here’s My Day 2! I put Mr. Linky in there, too, so leave your link!
Four hours? Wow, what was in those stockings? lol
We always look at Christmas lights as well.void
We used to love going out to see all the lights, I can’t believe how elaborate people are in their decorations! I’m lucky to get any lights put up outside.
Stockings are my favorite part too!
Dropping by from Mom Dot’s Blog Party! Viewing deorations and christmas lights is a lot of fun
we love looking at Xmas lights as well! When you have babies in the house it does tend to be an all day event when it comes to them opening their gifts! They can get overwhelmed so easily!
I LOVE the stocking but every year my hubby “forgets” to fill mine. It’s better to me than the presents under the tree!
Four hours of present opening? That is crazy. Were you guys exhausted afterwards?
We had to do the hour drive last year because we got ready to go out and look at Christmas lights around out town….and the power went off. It was worth it though
Sounds like fun!
Once you have kids, Christmas changes… definitely for the better. I can’t imagine the holidays without them.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
we also look at Christmas lights! My son loves it!
I love that you got your dog a stocking too. We get our dogs presents and stockings =P
