I also love watching Christmas movies in our pajamas while drinking hot chocolate or hot apple cider. https://padlet.com/robin_brannen/ssrh3168c249/wish/213659327 2017-12-06 12:24:54 UTC https://padlet.com/robin_brannen/ssrh3168c249/wish/213659327 My family has all of our favorite snacks (wings, dips, sausage balls, etc) for dinner at Christmas Eve mass. Then we open gifts from each other while listening to Christmas music. https://padlet.com/robin_brannen/ssrh3168c249/wish/213661714 2017-12-06 12:33:29 UTC https://padlet.com/robin_brannen/ssrh3168c249/wish/213661714 My family has a tradition of hiding the Christmas nail in the tree. Whoever finds the nail when taking down the tree receives a special blessing for the year. https://padlet.com/robin_brannen/ssrh3168c249/wish/213675210 2017-12-06 13:17:42 UTC https://padlet.com/robin_brannen/ssrh3168c249/wish/213675210 maria_copeland1 https://padlet.com/robin_brannen/ssrh3168c249/wish/213684342 Every year my family watches It's a Wonderful Life on Christmas Eve.

They come over to our house for a BIG Christmas breakfast and with enjoy Mimosas with our breakfast. We love it! https://padlet.com/robin_brannen/ssrh3168c249/wish/213688389 2017-12-06 13:50:34 UTC https://padlet.com/robin_brannen/ssrh3168c249/wish/213688389 Growing up we ate cheese, crackers, summer sausage, potato salad, and sparkling cider by the tree and opened gifts from extended family before going to candlelight service at church. We were always dressed up and had Christmas music playing and it was a such a warm and happy atmosphere. After church we would drive through neighborhoods and look at lights. It still makes me smile just thinking about that. I wish that I was able to do that each year with my son, but alternating holidays with my in-laws has made it tough to make it a yearly tradition. https://padlet.com/robin_brannen/ssrh3168c249/wish/213692000 2017-12-06 13:58:37 UTC https://padlet.com/robin_brannen/ssrh3168c249/wish/213692000 Before going to church on Christmas Eve, the kids are allowed to open one present. https://padlet.com/robin_brannen/ssrh3168c249/wish/213709232 2017-12-06 14:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/robin_brannen/ssrh3168c249/wish/213709232 Christmas Eve Candlelight Service at church https://padlet.com/robin_brannen/ssrh3168c249/wish/213710180 2017-12-06 14:29:14 UTC https://padlet.com/robin_brannen/ssrh3168c249/wish/213710180 Attending Christmas Eve service and letting the kids open one present. https://padlet.com/robin_brannen/ssrh3168c249/wish/213719830 2017-12-06 14:45:24 UTC https://padlet.com/robin_brannen/ssrh3168c249/wish/213719830 Candlelight service on Christmas Eve and a delicious brunch on Christmas Day. wecauble https://padlet.com/robin_brannen/ssrh3168c249/wish/213850825 2017-12-06 18:33:47 UTC https://padlet.com/robin_brannen/ssrh3168c249/wish/213850825 Candlelight service at church and making cookie plates for the neighbors. https://padlet.com/robin_brannen/ssrh3168c249/wish/213918143 2017-12-06 21:07:33 UTC https://padlet.com/robin_brannen/ssrh3168c249/wish/213918143
