    so many traditions that I love! If i had to choose, i would pick Christmas Eve with my family. We always drink champagne and eat fancy appetizers, and it just feels really special and joyous <3

  2. Alyssa on December 8, 2014 at 12:50 pm

    My family goes to see A Christmas Carol at the Goodman in Chicago each year. We’ve gone since I was 5 and I’m turning 26 this year!

  3. Alexandra on December 8, 2014 at 12:50 pm

    My favorite holiday tradition is wearing machine Christmas pajamas with my family on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. It’s fun to get a new pair each year and even more fun to not have to get dressed all day on Christmas!

  4. Alexandra on December 8, 2014 at 12:50 pm

    I’ve already pre-ordered a copy for me but would love to win one to give to a friend! Thanks Gina!

    I love that when my family opens gifts we all drink egg not, except for my dad who hates it and drinks diet coke. A non-family tradition is a Christmas movie marathon that a friend hosts. We have a strict movie schedule and eat turkey paninis for lunch!

    My sisters and I each pick one of our grandmother’s legendary cookie recipes to bake. Then we get together to trade (and eat) them. It brings back great family memories and makes new ones!

    I don’t know if it’s my absolute favorite tradition, but it’s one that definitely hasn’t changed with getting married and my dad passing away – I go shopping every year with my sister for presents for the family. We get an early start and spend most of the day out shopping. It’s a fun time and we usually get along, which doesn’t always happen.

  43. Laura on December 8, 2014 at 3:06 pm

    My favorite tradition is putting up our family’s Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. When my dad was younger, Santa used to bring the tree on Christmas Eve and decorate it before the kids woke up. So we carry on that tradition by putting the tree up on Christmas Eve. We end up leaving the tree up well into the middle of January!

  44. cel on December 8, 2014 at 3:19 pm

    fav holiday tradition…the whole fan hops in the car and we drive around the neighbourhood looking at xmas lights while santa visits our house ๐Ÿ˜‰
