Traditions in my family definitely exist, especially for Christmas eve. Below are some traditions that we have every year for Christmas Eve.
Every year on Christmas Eve, my family and I all go to the "Little America" and have there breakfast buffet. It's absolutely incredible!! Their fruit, omelets, bacon, sausage, etc are all incredible! I leave that place every year completely stuffed. Afterwards we all went to the Grand America to look at their window displays and to complete a little game. At each window we had to find a star and match that number with the description on the card. There were about 18 windows to look at and at the very end we all got a cookie! hahaha it was funny to see these 20 + year olds asking for a cookie after completing the game.
Afterwards we took food, clothes, and blankets to the homeless center downtown. It was a very neat experience to be able to serve those who don't have homes. It makes me very grateful to be where I am in my life and the wonderful home I have to come home to.
That night the whole family was together for dinner. It's a tradition to fondue chicken and steak for christmas eve dinner. Afterwards, we had the funniest conversation ever! Having everybody gathered around the table, talking for over an hour, and all laughing till we were crying was probably one of the greatest memories I will ever have. I love my family SO much!!
The final tradition that we have on Christmas eve is opening new pj's, singing hymns around the piano, listening to the Christmas Story, and watching either a "White Christmas" or a "Christmas Carol." This year we watched a "Christmas Carol"
This Christmas was by far the best Christmas I have ever had. It was SO great to be with the entire family! I love them all SO much!
