    My favourite tradition is a massive Christmas breakfast with cinnamon buns and everything else you could love before we open gifts. It's wonderful!

    One of my favorite Christmas traditions is making 'monkey bread' with the grandchildren on Christmas morning while we are waiting for all the adults to wake up to open presents. It's a mess of sugar and cinnamon all over the kitchen but they have so much fun helping. Thanks for the great giveaway!

    one of the favorites would be making the strudel .... I had assumed it was tradition and none of the brother inlaws said anything different sew now we have been doing it for over 30 yrs . Before it was kind of hit and miss if there was time.Now it is something everyone looks for, even on my side of the family.

    funny how food seems to become traditions .... comfort and memories I think

    My favorite Christmas tradition is getting together with the extended family on Christmas eve at my Dad's house. He is gone now, though, this is our second Christmas without him, so at times it's hard. We miss him. We still get together though at his house with our stepmother, and tell funny stories about him.

    Flo: Christmas traditions are so vast and all are extremely wonderful. We began keeping a family album when we married close to 50 years ago, that album gets opened once every Christmas eve, and all of the memories of our missing loved ones are shared, then we know that Christmas is a blessing we all have in common, and our loved ones not forgotten. It's such fun to pass on the stories of our family members to the young ones who are always ready for a good story and more chuckles and to learn the history of their backgrounds.

    That purse is very nice! Our Christmas tradition has to do with various foods some of the family members like but don't often buy for themselves...snack-type things or (in one case) black olives! We make sure those things are ALWAYS in their stockings on Christmas morning. I never realized how much it meant until the one daughter asked, once she married, if that meant she'd not get her black olives in a stocking any longer!!! (The answer: She DOES still get them!!!) We have other traditions but that one seems to mean the most to the kids!

We have a $10 limit and it is amazing at what you can find or make for $10, if you really put some thought into it! There will usually be a few hilarious gag gifts that have a $10 bill tucked into the bag with the gift... I am on the lookout all year long for my Dirty Santa gifts--- it's such fun! :-) Thank you for the chance to win that lovely bag-- and I *NEED* it-- you should see the one I've been carrying -- it's getting OLD! :-)

    i'm a silent follower. You make my days bright! I too flit from this to that and loving every bit of it still wish I could actually finish every pattern i clip or buy! So now I am not so silent. Christmas tradition: a box of windup (no batteries allowed) Christmas toys and puzzles that we have been giving and receiving for 25 years. The basket only comes out at Christmas time and the adults play as much as the little ones.

    Seeing the kids open up their presents from each other to each other. They just started buying for one another a couple of years ago, and it's nice to see them getting involved in the fun of shopping for another family member.

    A tradition at Christmas is a water fight with buckets of water or water pistols when its really hot - with all the family - young and old. Also a game of cricket

    The school carols - my daughters and I attended the same convent school. It is very nostalgic to go for the carol service.

    the most fun ... hmm I think that's the "snowball battle" usually 10 to 15 of us when we visit the grandparents (well they don't play along anymore)

    My favorite tradition is a polish tradition of having "opwatke". It's a tradition to have this wafer bread with family to wish them a new year filled with love and happiness. Thanks for the chance.

    We don't really have a tradition. Christmas Eve we go to my parents house, we exchange gifts with my family. We host Christmas Day at our home. We open gifts from Santa with our 12 yr old son on Christmas morning. That's about it. I still don't think it's tradition? ;->
