    New favorite, decorating the tree with my guy!

  2. Laura W on December 8, 2014 at 5:07 am

    My parents, brother and I all cross-country ski, so it’s a tradition to go for a family ski Christmas afternoon.

  3. Jaimie on December 8, 2014 at 5:08 am

    I love baking holiday cookies for friends and family!

  4. Casey on December 8, 2014 at 5:09 am

    It’s rare for all 6 of us in my family (+ significant others) to be in the same place at the same time, so once a year we make an effort to get everyone to my parents house and we celebrate every holiday from the past year. We’re talking about Easter egg hunts, gingerbread houses, sparklers, pinatas, you name it. It is the absolutely best!

  5. Alyssa on December 8, 2014 at 5:11 am

    My favourite is just getting together with family and spending the day opening gifts, catching up with one another and enjoying good food!

  6. Janelle on December 8, 2014 at 5:11 am

  15. Holly @ EatGreatBEGreat on December 8, 2014 at 5:20 am

    My favorite holiday tradition is making my Grandma’s Italian ricotta cookies every year with my mom! They’re delicious and most importantly, remind me of my Grandma.

  16. Niki on December 8, 2014 at 5:20 am

    I love listening to Christmas songs and drinking prosecco while putting up the Christmas tree with my husband!

  17. Megan S on December 8, 2014 at 5:20 am

    My favorite tradition is probably Christmas baking.

  18. Stephanie D on December 8, 2014 at 5:21 am

    A new tradition this year is our “cousins Christmas” where all of us now adult cousins get together without the “grownups” to catch up on each other’s lives as we now live all over the place!

  19. Kelly S on December 8, 2014 at 5:23 am

    My favorite holiday tradition is my siblings and I do a pollyanna (like a Secret Santa). We’ve been doing it for over 20 years now. And now with spouses and children, it is even more fun!

  20. Emily on December 8, 2014 at 5:24 am

  25. Missy on December 8, 2014 at 5:27 am

    Decorating the tree with the fam.

  26. Emily on December 8, 2014 at 5:28 am

    For as long as I can remember, I was allowed to open one gift on Christmas Eve, and it was always a new set of PJs. I’d open them, my mom would make a thermos of hot chocolate, and we’d go through one of the drive-through light shows while playing Christmas music. For some reason, getting to go out of the house in my jammies the night before Christmas always seemed really special ๐Ÿ™‚

  27. Nikki on December 8, 2014 at 5:29 am

    My favorite tradition is decorating the tree then eating pizza with my fam!

  28. Molly on December 8, 2014 at 5:30 am

    Not sure if this counts as tradition but my favorite way to end the days in December is sitting on the couch with all the lights off… except for the tree lights. Such a great way to relax. A glass of wine doesn’t hurt either!

  29. Nicole @ Runs & WODs on December 8, 2014 at 5:30 am

    My favorite holiday tradition is going out on Christmas Eve and looking for Santa. My family opens gifts on Christmas Eve so when my sister and I were young my uncle used to take us out in his car and we would look for Santa. Every year when we got back we “just missed him” and all the presents would be out. It took me until I was about 12 to catch on!

  30. ashley on December 8, 2014 at 5:31 am

    decorating the tree

  31. Jill M. on December 8, 2014 at 5:31 am

    Christmas Eve church service with all the Christmas music and then a bit Italian dinner with family and friends! Can’t wait to share this with our little guy this year ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks for a fun giveaway!!

  32. Daniela S. on December 8, 2014 at 5:34 am

    I bake an enormous amount of cookies and then deliver them to friends and family during the holidays. Can’t wait to do the same this year.

  33. Lauren @ The Bikini Experiment on December 8, 2014 at 5:35 am

    My favorite is driving around to look at Christmas lights decorated on houses. I used to do it with my parents and my boyfriend and I do it now. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!

  34. RachelG on December 8, 2014 at 5:36 am

    I preordered the book…cannot wait to get it! ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚

  35. melissa on December 8, 2014 at 5:36 am

    Christmas Eve at Granny’s House. My favorite! I’d love “HIIT It” this is actually the only thing on my list this year (that’s a fact)!

  36. Carley on December 8, 2014 at 5:37 am

    My favorite tradition is decorating the tree!!

  37. RachelG on December 8, 2014 at 5:37 am

    My favorite holiday tradition, like any good jew, is chinese food and a movie on Christmas day. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Now that I’m married I’ve had to switch up that tradition in place of spending Christmas with my husband’s family, but I am still able to sneak in some good sesame chicken during Christmas week. ๐Ÿ™‚

  38. Daniela S. on December 8, 2014 at 5:37 am

    I’ve preordered “HIIT It!” and also got the free ebook.

  39. Kristin on December 8, 2014 at 5:38 am

    I love making homemade eggnog and rum balls with my dad and fiance each Christmas!

  40. Melissa S. on December 8, 2014 at 5:40 am

    Ordering Chinese food on Christmas Eve because there’s too much baking going on to cook a meal

  41. Joanna on December 8, 2014 at 5:40 am

    Every year we make gingerbread cookies and decorate them (its my husbands tradition) and also we do Christmas eve with all the traditional polish foods. Its so good!

  42. Tracy B on December 8, 2014 at 5:41 am

    Watching the kids open their presents. Never gets old.

  43. Megan on December 8, 2014 at 5:41 am

    My current favorite tradition is picking out a new ornament each year for my daughter!

  44. Nicole on December 8, 2014 at 5:42 am

    My favorite Christmas tradition is the whole family going to pick a tree and chop it down.
    Second favorite is opening presents and leaving the wrapping paper all over the floor. It’s a mess but it’s fun like that. And we usually wrap the ribbons and bows around the dogs as we unwrap.

  45. sarah on December 8, 2014 at 5:43 am

    our tradition is to have friends and family round on christmas morning for mimosas and coffee. it’s a great way to start the celebration!

  46. Katherine on December 8, 2014 at 5:44 am

    Every year since I was little, we’ve gone out for a family dinner and then taken our annual Christmas light drive to tour the best lights and decorations in our town. We give out faux prizes to the winners for “Most Elegant,” “Most Tacky,” “Most Creative Frat House,” “Biggest Inflatable,” etc. I’m in my mid-twenties and still love it after all these years!

  47. Renae H. on December 8, 2014 at 5:44 am

    If I’m lucky enough to be at my parents house, my mom and I always play a rousing game of Dominoes for hours. My dad hides away in his man cave ๐Ÿ™‚

  48. Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine on December 8, 2014 at 5:47 am

    Going to my grandparents house on Christmas Eve! (Aka the best day of the year!)

  49. Anna on December 8, 2014 at 5:48 am

    I love to go see Christmas lights displays.

  50. Alex on December 8, 2014 at 5:49 am

    My favourite holiday tradition is definitely watching Christmas movies while snuggled up on the couch. Bonus if there’s hot chocolate involved!
