There's all sorts of traditions that families have for the holiday season, but my family's are my favorite.

1. Putting Tournament

A putting green is put down in the hallway, a bracket is made, and a winner is crowned. The winner gets to keep the cup for a year and $10 worth of lottery tickets.

2. Christmas Vacation on Christmas Eve

What is my stepdad's birthday and Christmas Eve without watching the best movie to bless the holiday season?

3. Lottery Tickets

Okay, so this one sounds a bit strange. But in my family, all of the adults bring $10 worth of lottery tickets and then we exchange them and scratch them. Weird tradition I know but its seriously so much fun.

4. Driving around and looking at Christmas lights

Yes, I know, literally everyone does this. But, why would you not want to? It's the best, plus if you had hot chocolate, even better.

5. and finally, breakfast on Christmas morning

Yet again, another that quite a few families already do. But after we open presents, my stepdad will usually make breakfast for our whole family, extended included.

There you have it, five traditions that my family does, that I hope your's will start to do as well. There's so many other traditions that other families do, but these are guaranteed favorites.
