Do you have any Christmas traditions that you follow? We buy a Hallmark Christmas keepsake for the boys to put on our tree. We have been doing this since they were born and now have a great collection. They are 24 and 26. They pick one they like each year. My eldest usually goes the Father Christmas' from around the world and my youngest picks the hot cars

I used have the the house decked out with lights and a tree and the table spread with all the Christmas foods but since my children got married we don't follow our traditions anymore. It is just too hard to work out times with all the different families. We tried having Christmas one week earlier so my kids could go to the inlaws on Christmas Day but it was not the same. Makes me rather sad.

Every Christmas we have a dinner with the whole family with seafood, turkey, ham and so on lots of verity food and have kk for the kids and they love it with a Santa dressed up from our family members even though at the end they find out it's one of us.

My favourite tradition is that I put on one of my favourite movies called Christmas at Willow creek and make my family Bon Bons then wrap presents. Then that night I go to church then come home and watch Carols by Candlelight on Tv

I'm trying to be more minimal and eco friendly this year. I asked anyone that is giftgiving for them to give experiences or things of actual use to me

My children are now all in their twenties but we still get up early Christmas morning, or boxing day whichever one our Family Christmas falls, and sit around the tree to swap presents. Usually the person giving out has to wear the Santa Hat. We also have to have Ham on toast for breakfast, though not for those who may be vegetarian :)
