My favorite tradition is picking out the perfect tree with our neighbors and then enjoying pizza and a Christmas movie with them.
We used to do a gift scavenger hunt when I was a kid. You opened clues that led to more clues, then finally your present!!
My favorite tradition is actually a couple of days after Christmas. My whole family drives down to my sister’s house in Kansas City where we celebrate a belated family Christmas and New Years together. We do a secret Santa gift exchange, minute to win it games, and eat lots of food (usually some super yummy KC BBQ and a crab boil or lobster for NYE). We’ve started the tradition about 15 years ago and it’s one I always look forward too since it’s not all that often that my two sisters, mom, and I are all together!

Sadly, traditions have to change. I remember going to each set of grandparents and seeing all my aunts,uncles and cousins. Now all the grandparents are gone and we have become them. We try to honor them by baking recipes they’ve shown us and hoping our families feel the same sense of tradition we remember.
