Winter Traditions

Every family has special traditions and many of them happen this time of year.  For some, it may be enjoying a special movie snow falls or serving meals at a shelter.  For others, it could be a trip to the mountains or giving and receiving gifts for Christmas or Hanukkah. 

Think about a few of your family traditions, especially those that happen this time of year. Describe the tradition and what you enjoy most about it.

  4. Well my family tradition for the time of the year we wake up early. We make breakfast and while it is cooking we play christmas music and.Open the gifts and throw away the wrapping from the christmas presents. Once we are done opening the gifts we play with our stuff. Sometimes we have friends come over.

  7. Everyone who celebrates Christmas celebrates it even a little different than other families. These are some of the ways I celebrate Chrismas with my family. Every Christmas our family always goes to my grandmother's house and she makes us a big breakfast. My mom my sister and I always help in the kitchen. We open presents there first and hang out there for a while. We then go to our house and open presents there and take a bunch of pictures. Every Chrismas we usually get Ipods and a couple of other things. This year our new dog, Daisy is also going to get presents. Including the rest of our friends. =)

  8. My family's tradition for christmas is that the parents are responsible for makeing the christmas dinner. The kids are responsible of sitting next to the fire place, drinking hot cocoa, and watching christmas movies till 12 o'clock am. My most favorite part of this tradition is that we all come together as a family and that we enjoy our christmas.

  10. My family and I have a dinner either on Christmas Eve or the day before. This year I get to open presents on Christmas Eve because my dad has to work Christmas. That is kind of a bummer.

  11. Some of my family traditions are every year my family gives out cookies and treats to all of our nabors. Also we read a Christmas story every night in December. Another one is the ginger bread man. One person stsarts with it and you do something nice for someone else in the family without them knowing. Then when they find it is that persons turn. These ate only a few traditions my family has.

  14. The tradition that my family and I "act upon" is that we decorate the tree and we decorate my dogs crate with lights also get my dog her own personal tree and maybe add ornaments to her crate. Usually it is fun when friends are helping you decorate the tree so my friend Josie came over and helped decorate the tree with us... Later that evening, we had an idea of putting Daisy in a stocking and take a picture but we didn't. Last night I had a dream that we did that... It wasn't very fun though.

  15. My family tradition during this time of holiday is that, During the first month of December, some of our Church Members start practicing for a Christmas Play this year. My mom, my brother and sisters and I are in it. This year its called "The Dream" and the two main characters are "Adam and Eve". So on Christmas Day My family and I are going to open presents and Head to the Church to perform our play. My dad is coming to see us perform and it's going to be great!! What I enjoy most about this tradition is that, I get to spend time with my family and we get to be in a fun family play. :)
