We started a new one this year. Every night at bedtime, we sit around the tree with the lights on and sing a Christmas carol. We sing a different one each night (our attempt to teach our children Christmas carols). After singing, we each take a turn and give a Christmas wish, which has to be a wish for someone else.
We also have a collection of Christmas picture books that we’ve gathered over the years (and thanks to some family members who’ve given them as gifts in Christmases past) and we read one different one each night. My kids take turns picking.
On Christmas Eve, the children each open one gift and that gift is an ornament for the tree that has special significance to that child. That is a tradition that I’ve carried through from my childhood. My parents actually still do it for us too. I love looking at my tree that has such an assortment of ornaments, all with a special meaning. (Examples would be the Santa playing a violin that my parents gave me in junior high when I played the violin, or the little wooden gray rabbit that my mom hand painted that symbolizes the gray Volkswagen rabbit I drove in high school that I got the first Christmas after getting my driver’s license).
