missed the cutoff but still wanted to share - my sister invites me over to decorate her tree together every year. It’s my favorite thing to do during the holidays.

One of my favorite traditions is watching my daughter's excitement as she checks out the Advent Calendar. Will it be candy? Money? Both? Will Mom remember to fill it up...oops.

Every year after we pick out our Christmas tree, my husband puts his inflatable turkey on top and won’t move it until we decorate it 😅 His family decorated for Christmas before Thanksgiving growing up, and he started putting a turkey on top of the tree in protest. Now it’s become a tradition in our family 😂

Christmas at Disney is extra magical! 🎄✨ Tune in to the Disney Christmas Day Parade on ABC—you might spot a familiar face. 😊🎅

I love decorating the tree every year! But what I really love is the wrapping party I have with my friends. We set aside a day each December to help wrap each others gifts.

My boys put up the tree super FAST this year, and I wasn't able to take any pictures. So this is from last year, with a special appearance from our dog, Mina!

I grew up celebrating both holidays and still do, but I love my newest Hannukah decorations and adding to my collection each year!

New Year's cards: our way of spreading cheer without the holiday rush

From the cozy lights, climbing the tree, and all the boxes to jump in - no one loves Christmas more than Lily and I am so fortunate to be weeks away from celebrating our 17th Christmas together. The only thing we haven't done is dress her up (trust me, we have tried) - so filters will have to do!

One of my favorite holiday traditions is driving around to see the incredible Christmas light displays in our neighborhood. It’s a simple but special way to get into the holiday spirit with family!

This is the ornament my dog Leroy Brown ate off the tree last week including 2 gnomes. Looks like Scrooge gets off easy this year

Every year my fiancé and I do a baking day and make at least 7 different types of Christmas cookies for family and friends!

Being born and bought up in India, we never really celebrated Christmas in my family, but since i moved to the US, could not escape the holiday fever, this year planning to join the vibe too, and this is the design template i have in mind, hope to have some real family photos around the tree super soon!!

My wife would rather put pictures of our dogs in the holiday card than her and I.

My favorite Christmas tradition is going to the tree farm to cut down our tree. This is a tradition that was started when I was a child and I have continued it with my family. Please enjoy last year's Christmas card since this year's card is not ready yet.

I wish I had some actual photo's to share here. But our family has a multi-generational tradition of eating home-made clam chowder and root beer floats every Christmas eve.

I have always wanted to have a Christmas tree in each room of my home during the holidays, each with its own unique vibe. This holiday season, my fiancé and I started that tradition with my very own Pink Princess Christmas Tree. If Glinda the Good Witch herself had designed it, this would be her tree—right down to the bejeweled crown tree topper. I am absolutely in love with it and cannot wait to continue building on this tradition.

I couldn't just pick 1 photo, so I made a collage. The big photo at the top was last year's visit with Santa at Cabela's. Such a bittersweet day as we said goodbye to Leela (yellow lab in the wagon and third bottom picture from right) the next morning. Black cat is Kevin, black and white scared dog is Raylan and the white dog is Seymour.

Each year I add more lights to the tree on the left - it escalates every single year (it may actually be a problem). Hard to see in this photo, but there are 1400 lights under the snow. The only things there were more of than the lights were the spider bites I got stringing them up…

# data[].attributes.body
There is a park near our house with a wonderful holiday light display that we go to every year.

# data[].attributes.body
We love going to watch light shows and it is something people of all ages can enjoy!

My 3 year old (Scarlett) told Santa that she wanted a greehouse to take care of all of our house plants for the winter....we only have one house plant

Though my boyfriend and I have been together for 9 years, we've never sent out Christmas cards until this year! Merry Christmas from our little family!

We try to do a couple fun, festive things every holiday. This was from last year when we went to go look for over-the-top decorated houses. We brought our hot cocoa and had a lot of fun.

Our Annual Boat Parade - Boat Decorating competition and a dock decorating competition. The night is filled with Christmas Music and lots of smiles. This year had palm trees on the back deck.

This porcelain Christmas tree belonged to my Grandmother. We put it out every year.

I love searching for the perfect tree every year, then cutting it down ourselves! My family has done this since I was little.

# data[].attributes.body
My kids are so excited once the tree comes out! Lots of fun hanging ornaments together and the anticipation of Christmas morning : )

Christmas village setup. I love creating an entire village out of collected pieces like the ones in this picture that I retrieved off the internet.

My nieces trying to find the lucky pickle in my small tree. Whoever finds the pickle gets to choose who opens the first present. Last year it took awhile, but they are getting too smart. Meghan in the back found it last year.

Growing up Jewish, we didn't do much holiday decor in our house. However, I love going to Christmas themed bars, gatherings, etc. This picture is a throwback from when I lived in Boston and was visiting a friend in NYC for the holidays. NYC is the perfect place to visit during the holidays!

While decorating the tree we take a ridiculous number of photos. Each year we look back at the prior year to see which of my kids put the angel on the top of the tree. The ornaments on the tree are all of the wonderful memories and memorials of years past.

My favorite Christmas decorations are all the tree ornaments my children have made and picked out throughout the years.

While my children are grown now, I'm very sentimental to all the cute xmas ornaments they made when they were in Pre-school. Every year (and it's been 25 years since my oldest was in pre-school) my Xmas tree has many of those precious handmade ornaments. I've preserved them well. HA.
