I actually buy a special gift and make a tag with a "24" on it. It was usually pajamas or something like that. We didn't do this in my family growing up but Dear Hubby's family did. Now they are too old for pajamas but they still want a "24th" gift. Some people never grow up!Shakerwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793734053680624536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135779380820160295.post-34892128278927400342009-07-20T10:30:34.432-05:002009-07-20T10:30:34.432-05:00When my brother and I were young, our parents woul...When my brother and I were young, our parents would take us for a drive to pick up a fresh Christmas tree. Then back at home my brother and I would decorate it while singing Christmas carols. Then afterwards we would all sit around the tree drinking hot chocolate.<br /><br />About 8 years ago, I started a new tradition. I gather all my family at my house for Christmas Eve. Some time after dinner, I ring a little bell signaling that it's time to open gifts. I grab my digital camer which also works as a recorder and have everyone open their gifts at the same time. It's so much fun.Aggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756052241044394097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135779380820160295.post-40222650064432512422009-07-19T07:08:25.514-05:002009-07-19T07:08:25.514-05:00I love this post!

One of them is that Santa leaves a bag on Christmas eve with a game, our pjs and a snack for us to play. We have a ball with that!<br /><br />I am launching a new Christmas blog on July 25... would you please mind to share this information with your other Christmas buddies?<br /><br />The address will be www.christmastreelane.blogspot.com<br /><br />Thank you! I am hosting a giveaway to celebrate the blog's launching!Terri Steffeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02544793349029524184noreply@blogger.com
