Yes, it is finally here. The greatest time of the year, Christmas! Even if you are sort of a bah-humbug type of fellow, you still might be sick of doing the same holiday traditions every year. I know after a few years I really need something fresh to try during Christmastime.

Rather than being bored doing the same ol' same ol', here are some great traditions for you and your family to try this year, or years to come!

1. Get the family together to watch a classic Christmas movie.

We all know that Christmas day is super busy. There are relatives running around like crazy trying to cook dinner, pick up last minute gifts, and watch all the kids. It seems like there is no down time to relax. How about this year, you get your family to take a break from all the Christmas madness to watch a classic film together.

2. Build a snowman in honor of someone.

It's simple and it's sweet.

3. Eat one of Santa's cookies, or open one gift on Christmas Eve.

Some people say that it's cheating, but I think it's just taste testing.

4. Sing Christmas songs, or go caroling.

Even if you can't sing, tis the season right?

5. Kiss a special someone under the mistletoe.

What's more romantic than this?

6. Play sports in the snow.

Dive right into the fun!

7. Attend a local Christmas bazaar.

Find that perfect, creative, and beautiful gift!

8. Have a gift wrapping party with friends.

While you're at it, jam to some Christmas music!

9. Decorate something you've never decorated before.

Like your television, or your dog, or your brother...

10. Donate or volunteer to the Salvation Army bell ringers, give gifts to Toys for Tots, or make/buy gifts to donate to nursing homes.

Be the greatest giver you can be!

What is your favorite holiday tradition? I hope everybody has a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year!
