My house has been decorated for three weeks already, and I’m loving the glow each night from the trees and garlands! I just love Christmas time. Today on the show I’m walking you through all of my family’s favorite Christmas traditions.

I hope this gets you into the Christmas spirit and excited for the holidays. I know we’re celebrating Thanksgiving this week but it’s never to early I have Christmas Cheer! Enjoy!

Special ornaments - we let our kids pick out special ornaments to put on the tree each year. We make an evening out of this, and shop and got out to eat. We also grab a special ornament each year while on vacation to represent that vacation each year.
Two Christmas trees - one “family” tree and one “main” tree. The kids decorate the family tree and I decorate the main tree and switch up the tree theme each year.
An advent calendar - one activity each day for the month of December. I pick different activities to do each day.
- make christmas cookies
- meet Santa
- make paper snowflakes
- hot cocoa & watch a christmas movie
- drive around and look at christmas lights
Making Christmas cookies & candies - using our own family’s reciepes make it really special and it’s a great opportunity to share with your kids about your family history.
