I LOVE Christmas traditions!! It's so comforting to know you are going to do the same thing every year. All of my most memorable Christmas traditions originate with my family. I am also looking forward to starting new traditions with my own little family. Here are some of my favorite Jackson family Christmas traditions.

On Christmas Eve we always got to open one present. It was usually pajamas or a game. I mostly remember the games because then we would all play it together that night! Also, Bryan's family does one pajama gift on Christmas Eve, so I love that we grew up with some of the same traditions.

We always had one present from Santa, that was unwrapped, and it was usually the big present. Stockings (my favorite!) were first, and then the other presents. One person would play Santa and hand out the presents to each person. We open gifts one at a time. It makes the present opening last longer, and you get to see what everyone gets!

My mom always makes delicious homemade cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning. And my mother-in-law decided to make them this year, without knowing that's what my mom does. I love having the same traditions both places!!

Hey girl! Thanks for linking up! So excited to see participation. I wasn't sure since this was my first blog party.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was reading your traditions you grew up with I could not believe it. They are exactly what we did growing up. Cinnamon rolls and everything! I like the idea of giving pjs on Christmas eve.
Again, thanks for sharing and linking up! :)
Have a fabulous day!
