We eat chili and soup and snacky-type foods at my parent's house. Then we open presents. It is a very casual get together.<BR/><BR/>The funnest part is that we all bring a "white elephant" gift and play a game where we can steal gifts Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09658938918638652042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265235344993278263.post-50523201081936207002008-12-25T11:37:00.000-05:002008-12-25T11:37:00.000-05:00Our tradition is that we do cinnamon rolls and hot...Our tradition is that we do cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate every Christmas morning. It is one of those things that we have shared ever since we had our first Christmas together. We also do one funny Christmas card and one sentimental card. I have no idea how that started but that is something that has stuck with us.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08169738955846222411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265235344993278263.post-12054531407401087282008-12-25T03:03:00.000-05:002008-12-25T03:03:00.000-05:00We have stockings that my mother has made, startin...We have stockings that my mother has made, starting with my brother and me. She puts little miniatures on them when something important happens in that year.. like a baby when we had kids, a diploma when we graduated, a nurse when I graduated nursing school, an orange when I moved to Florida... you get the picture.. I'm going to post about them.. <BR/>We also always open one present on Christmas Jeankflhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13830433635650943988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265235344993278263.post-85942216308595261262008-12-24T23:37:00.000-05:002008-12-24T23:37:00.000-05:00Hiya!

Our tradition was as follows: back when I was little & we were really hurting for money (we didn't have a car if that gives you any idea) my mom taped a lot of Christmas movies onto one VHS tape. This was our Christmas Tape. There were grainy lines across the screen, bits missing where the VCR had cut out or where "play" hadn't been hit quickly enough after commercialsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
