Yes, I am so serious.
Matching Pajamas
This is a new one for my family, in fact we just started last year. Last year my mom, sister and me all got matching PJs. My little brother and step dad got matching ones also, since ours were a little "too girly" for them. This year we decided to just let the girls do matching PJs. It is something simple, yet so fun for us.
Go see Christmas Lights
Whether we go to the zoo, drive thru lights or even around our neighborhood; we always make a point to see other people's decorations. Lights are one of the many beautiful things around the holidays. Colorful or white, they are always so pretty and bright. The perfect extra sparkle, to finish your decorating.
Reading the The Night Before Christmas
This is also a new tradition of ours. We started last year, and gave everyone a chance to read. This year we drew a name out of a hat and my sister will read it to us on Christmas Eve. We also decided that whoever reads it, has to wear a Santa hat while reading.
Hot Coco, Cookies & other treats
I love to bake around the holidays. Sometimes we bake brownies, cookies or even pies. Then we make hot coco, because whether it's cold outside or not, hot coco is a must. We also can't resist making gingerbread houses! Then of course we make cookies for Santa and leave milk.
Christmas Movies
This, by far, is my favorite tradition of ours. Every year we watch Elf, The Grinch and Home Alone. I watch a bunch of Hallmark Movies with my mom and sister. Most importantly, every year we watch "It's A Wonderful Life", on Christmas Eve Night. This perfectly sums up our traditions and why we do them. Christmas is celebrating Jesus' Birthday with the ones you love, and I couldn't ask for a better family to celebrate with.
