We've changed it up slightly that Mrs. Claus delivers the new PJs the Friday after Thanksgiving so we can wear them all Christmas season. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-holiday-traditions-are-you-carrying-over#post-2369318 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 10:18:04 +0000 Charm54 2369318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: we were always so excited for "Mrs Claus Eve" and to see what she had brought us. I love carrying on the tradition with my girls too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-holiday-traditions-are-you-carrying-over#post-2369309 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 10:14:02 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2369309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we move to a home with a fireplace I'd love to camp out by the fireplace and drink hot chocolate on Christmas Eve. We eventually had to go to sleep in our own beds for Santa to finally come. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-holiday-traditions-are-you-carrying-over#post-2369299 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 10:11:24 +0000 LuLu Mom 2369299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: this is an adorable way to do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-holiday-traditions-are-you-carrying-over#post-2369243 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 09:49:56 +0000 Charm54 2369243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mrs Claus comes the night of the Dec 23rd and brings matching pajamas. We wear the pajamas Christmas Eve </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-holiday-traditions-are-you-carrying-over#post-2369240 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 09:47:23 +0000 travellingbee 2369240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Openning presents Christmas Eve. My mom is Swedish and my dad is Italian and Christmas Eve is the big holiday rather than Christmas Day. I love how magical it felt when I was little to stay up late and open presents all calm and cozy in PJs with the fire place on. I never liked the American tradition of everybody wake up and run to the tree and tear it all open. Luckily my DH doesn't care either way. :) So we will continue that tradition with our LOs.</p> <p>Eta: we still do stockings in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-holiday-traditions-are-you-carrying-over#post-2369235 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 09:44:08 +0000 lovehoneybee 2369235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Watching the old animated Grinch movie, and making pigs in a blanket on Christmas morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-holiday-traditions-are-you-carrying-over#post-2369231 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 09:43:02 +0000 LuLu Mom 2369231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family used to pack a thermos of hot chocolate and drive around and look at Christmas lights, this is a tradition we do every year. And we will watch Miracle on 34th street on Christmas Eve, one of my favorite memories (and movies!) What do you plan on continuing from your/SO childhood? </p>
