Our new holiday tradition for our own new family is to go on an exciting short trip right after thanksgiving luncheon & right after Christmas presents are unwrapped- we're off for an adventure! a nice hotel w/ a good spa is high up on the list. we'd love to make it to the mountains for Xmas. (cost while renovating our home & preparing for our first- means we will drive to our destinations this year).

What are your special family traditions that are just about your family bonding its own traditions?

Every year we decorate on Thanksgiving nite for Christmas, we drive around often and enjoy our town's lights ( I live in a Charles Dickens book type town....yeah really), Make one type of homemade gift for our entire list, plus normal gifts. This year we are making sandwich bag wreaths. We always let the kids open 1 gift from us Christmas Eve. We make cookies from scatch a million times and always invite friends to join us. We go on a sleigh ride through town. We read The night before christmas and similar books. We often rent christmas movies on the weekends. I make tons of zuchinni bread in the fall and freeze it for Christmas gifts.

I think that is all I can think of right now. But I love the holidays and I think I come up with a new tradition every year....I guess thats a tradition too....LOL
