What's your favorite Christmas tradition?

As the holiday season kicks off, it’s fun to reflect on those traditions from your childhood. What are the ones you still cherish and look forward to each year? Which Christmas custom brings you the most joy today?

my kids have this list of the things they want for Christmas, and I like to buy all of them, wrap everything, and put them all over the living room on Christmas Day. I started this tradition after my ex and I divorce 4 years ago

We always open one gift on Christmas Eve, a thing my parents started so we wouldn't be too crazy. Feels like the best sneak peek for Christmas.

Every year, we'd all load up in the truck to go see Christmas lights. I still do it, even if it's just a quick drive after work. All those lit-up houses bring back that kid feeling right away.

Loved helping my grandma make her big batch of Christmas cookies. I’d steal some dough, and she'd act like she didn't see it. The whole house would smell like cinnamon for days. Now I bake a few every year, and even if the recipe is not perfect, it takes me back to those chill afternoons.
