Our family has some fun little traditions.
1. Christmas morning is always just us - me, the hubby, the kids. We may visit other family later that day or invite them to ours, but I want the chance to be all leisurely enjoying the Christmas magic that morning (because I know at least at my family's, it's anything but leisurely/stress-free. LOL My in-laws is actually much better...but they live 9 hrs away)
2. Each of us has a special symbol for the holidays - for me it's angels, for my husband it's snowmen, my oldest has penguins, my middle one has polar bears, and the youngest has reindeer/moose (we let those lines blur LOL). Every year, we each get a new ornament with our figure. This means the boys know which ones are their ornaments just at a glance, and they get to hang their own. Whenever they move out (*sobs way in advance*), they'll get to take their collection with them so that they've got a little head start on things for their own tree. My grandma started this for me when I was tiny, and I loved it so much.
My kids have embraced it too, and tend to love little extras (jammies, tees, stuffed animals, etc) that have their animal on it as well. I've even made the present tags have their animal before, to help the non-readers find their gifts when they were littler.
3. New jammies every Christmas Eve. I'll be honest, this one's as much for me as for them. Giving them new pajamas to open that night ensures that they won't be coming to the tree the next morning in holey sweatpants or something, so my Christmas morning pictures look nice. LOL
4. Another Christmas Eve tradition - Christmas Eve pizza. *hehe* Everyone else may be all about fancy meals on the holidays, but pizza will always be the thing I'm most excited for.
This year our plans aren't too fancy. Sticking around town and doing normal stuff (pizza, Christmas Eve service, jammies, Christmas morning at our house, probably see my family the next day), and then we do get to head up to see my in-laws for several days which we're excited about.
