2019 we went to the German Christmas markets! It was amazing π€©.
We've done the Christmas light drive – did it as a child myself and have done it with my kiddo. I make popcorn and a thermos of hot chocolate, so super low cost. Same for a day out in the snow at our favorite lake – cross country skiing and snowshoeing.
I love the Santa clause and the grinch and home alone! Ha ha. I also love national lampoons Christmas vacation
This was a lovely video, thank you.

Yes we want to do all the things but we can get lost in the things and forget the people and the memories and moments. I love the simple traditions to go to and do without way tooooomuch burden! Thanks for sharing!
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Merry Christmas to you and your family. We used to drive around looking at the lights when I was a kid. Good memories!
I'm South African so our Christmases are always very hot. I'm not a fan of baking so premixes work for me. I love number 10. Merry Christmas
We actually put to practice your tradition of driving around to watch Christmas lights and our kids had so much fun! Thank you
They do every one of these in the United States.
Hello from Calgary! Iβm new to your channel and I love this! I have two girls aged 2 and 8 months so we are still figuring out our Christmas traditions!
Love your choices!! Merry Christmas!!!
Christmas traditions are the bestβ¦.
We hosted a big Christmas party in our home last Sunday, and pulled out all the stops ! It was wonderful ! So now, Christmas week will be free and easy, with dinner out with family on Christmas day, at a favorite restaurant. Merry Christmas ! π₯°π πββπ₯ππ¬π©°ππππβππ₯°π πββπ₯ππ¬π©°ππππβπ
You should have included your advent tradition.
Miracle on 34th Street, both versions, are fantastic πππ
Remember the birth of Jesus Christ is truly the spirit of the seasonπ¨π¦πyou have a beautiful family and a lovely channel, sharing wonderful tips and tricks has been a blessing that you have given, thank you.
I use to lay under our tree growing up me and my sister. And now i have a tree that is way too low to the ground to do it. And every year im wishing it wasnt bc i want my kids to do that too. It really is magical! And a tradition that ive started with my own kids is gingerbread houses ive always wanted to do them growing up but we never did and u can even use graham crackers! My grandma would make an ornament or christmas craft with us every year and on christmas eve we would go to the 10 pm candle light service at church. I sure love christmas time!! Merry christmas from my family to yours!!! Great ideas and a reminder to just enjoy this time
I hope you and your family have a Very Merry Christmas!! I have no family (my Moms side) getting together this year on Christmas Eve so I will be spending it home alone in my comfy Christmas leggings, a Christmas shirt and my Mukluks, eating something special for breakfast, snacking for lunch and Mushroom Stroganoff for dinner. Then to my sisters for Christmas Lunch!!
I love how four of the traditions include hot chocolate!
Make it extra special by stirring in a candy cane or using candy cane bits to rim the glass.
This video was really cute. Iβm a scroller/skipper/fast-forwarder through a lot of videos but I watched every moment. No new ideas, but this list was still perfect & helpful and sparked some inspo for me
I have a couple of ribbons that I hang laminated cards 1-25 on. We choose 24 activities, picking one each day, leading up to Christmas Day.
Perform an act of kindness (usually we do this Dec 1st to start off the season and we usually do a drive thru and pay for the person behind us)
Dance to Christmas music
Go see a lights display
Put up our outside lights
Decorate the Christmas tree
Watch a Christmas movie
Enjoy eggnog or hot cider
Make Christmas cards
Make paper snowflakes
Enjoy hot chocolate with peppermint marshmallows
Go to a live nativity
Sleep next to the tree
Make a Christmas craft
Play outside in the snow
Bake Christmas cookies
Sing Christmas carols (or go to a Christmas concert)
Eat candy cane ice cream
Make gingerbread candy houses
Drive around looking at lights in pajamas with hot chocolate (we try and do this on Christmas Eve Eve)
Christmas Eve we had a special dinner tradition of Italian cold cuts and eating them on the floor by the tree. We also go to our church's candlelight service. And we drop off any saint Nicholas gifts we have for others.
