What are your favorite Christmas Memories and Traditions?

Home More advice Religion, Spirituality & Folklore

As I have been unpacking ornaments and untangling the lights I have been reminiscing. I have many favorite Christmas memories and traditions. My favorite was always the Mother's basket. Simply put, us kids and our dad all watched my step-mom throughout the year. Everytime she lingered over something and then shook her head and went back to the list in her hand, the item went onto our list. Once a month or so, dad would take us out and get some of those items. We also added chocolate and a teddybear with the year on his foot. The first time was the best, to this day. She cried with joy and surprise when we gave it to her, and we laughed and smiled and congratulated ourselves for noticing all the things she had passed up for us and caring enough to get them.

So how about you? Any special traditions? Any really good Christmas memories?
