Holiday Traditions

[Pink_Bug]

What are your favorite family holiday traditions?

A tradition that I started last year with my little girl is to take her to a dollar store (or some other cheap store so I won't go broke doing this) and let her pick out gifts to give the grandparents and aunts & uncles. I love to watch her as she picks out what she feels is the perfect gift for everyone (and I love to hear her reasons why she picked each gift). It is also really sweet to watch everyone open her gifts and "pretend" that she has given them just what they wanted. It has become a highlight of our family holiday get-together and it helps everyone remember what it was like to be a child a Christmas.
Grandaddy is going to get a great gift this year! When she went to see Santa earlier in the month grandaddy told her to tell Santa that he wanted a convertible and so she picked out the cutest little toy car for him! And of course for the other grandfather (Papa) she picked out a box a chocolates because she said that she just knew he would share them with her.
