My family has two traditions that we continue every year at Christmas time.
The first tradition is that in the last few weeks leading up to Christmas my family makes sugared almonds and gingersnaps to share with all our neighbors and family. We bake, stir, make a mess, and fill the house with the smell of Christmas! Then we deliver the tasty treats around the neighborhood and get smiles in return.
The second tradition is that on Christmas Eve, my parents bring in two present bags - one for me and one for my sister. We take turns opening them and always find a pair of Christmas pajamas. We excitedly try them on and if they fit, we get some new pajamas to sleep in that night. If they don't fit right or are dorky looking, we all have a good laugh and wear them anyway! Then we go to bed, anxiously awaiting what Santa will bring us the next morning.
