  5. My oldest daughter and I love to make crafts together and this is something we try to do for every holiday throughout the year, not just the Christmas season. We also really enjoy baking and giving the goodies to those we love.

  6. My favorite holiday activity is going to Temple Square in Salt Lake with family to look at the lights and then having hot chocolate after.

  7. My kids are still little (3 years and 8 months) but last year I decorated cookies with my (then) 2 year old, and she just had a blast! I think that we will have to continue the tradition of making sugar cookies and just going crazy with the frosting and decorations! It was so much fun!

    As far as MY favorite activity, I love just sitting in my living room with all the lights off except for the Christmas tree lights, and drinking a hot drink and listening to Christmas music!

    Posted by Junglewife | November 25, 2008, 5:15 am
  8. My favorite holiday activity is a day-after-Christmas breakfast we host for our neighbors. Once the weather gets cold, we rarely see each other because everyone gets busy with school activities and no one plays outside anymore. Since it’s the day after Christmas, everyone is usually home and all the Christmas rush has subsided.

    Posted by Julie Del Priore | November 25, 2008, 6:58 am
  9. Our favorite family activity is decorating the family Christmas tree. It is so fun to take out the ornaments that have been added every year, including the one that has our family photo, and remember and talk about them.

  13. Loooooove the klutz projects. My daughter goes nuts over them!

    My favorite holiday activity is a bit wacky. My mom and I both have horrible eyesight and wore glasses when I was a kid. Our Christmas moment was always aftermy brothers went to bed on Christmas eve – we’d sit in front of the lit up tree and count to 3 and take our glasses off. The lights would allmelt together to make the most fantastic “sight”!

    Posted by Sydney | November 25, 2008, 8:58 am
  19. My favorite activity during Christmas is attending our Christmas Eve service at church. My pastor always writes an amazing Christmas story to deliver that evening, which I anxiously await every year. The worship service if full of my church family and always seems so warm and inviting. And I just love how that time calms me down on Christmas Eve and helps me focus on my faith and why I celebrate such a special holiday. I always return home calm, happy, and full of God’s love.

    Posted by Melissa | November 25, 2008, 9:00 am

  26. My favorite Christmas activity is setting up the train and all the houses and people and ‘trimmings’ that go with it.
    To be honest, my cousin sets up the train for us, I’d probably start a fire trying to hook up the electrical stuff, but we love putting the cars on the tracks and adding all the other stuff.

  32. My favorite activity is wrapping gifts. No matter how much you try to get them wrapped early, it seems there is always the last minute stash. My family would divide up into 2 rooms and have Christmas music playing. It was so much fun to try to get everyone’s stuff wrapped without them seeing!

    Posted by michelle | November 25, 2008, 12:59 pm

  57. My 5 year old daughter and I love getting some of those necklace or bracelet kits from Oriental Trading and we make beautiful little trinkets for her to share with cousins, grandmas and aunts as well as with her teachers, coaches and friends.

  124. My favorite Holiday activity is the baking. When I was growing up, my mom didn’t spend much time with us kids, but my grandmother always point of baking for days WITH us. We would wear crazy hair nets, tell stories and learn new ones. I have a picture of my dh when we first started dating and my grandmother mad him wear some cellophane bowl cover.

    We have now passed the tradition down to our daughters, minus the cellophane. I am so thankful for all we have learned from our family.

  239. Favorite holiday activity… WOW, this is a difficult one. Any activity that gathers family together some of my all time favorites decorating, baking, watching classic holiday movies, home made decorations, sitting by the fire and talking. As you can tell I am a sap for my family, nothing wrong with that though. Happy holidays to all!!!!!

  242. Our favorite holiday activity is first going to get our fresh Christmas tree and then decorating it, listening to Christmas music….We then make our tasty Christmas cookies and then sit around and enjoy looking at our tree with all the lights in the dark and eating cookies. Then we watch some holiday movies and take in all in…IF we are lucky we may enjoy a bit of snow, to go with it~!

  244. Our favorite activity is putting the ornaments on the tree. We collect ornaments from all the places we’ve been, and the girls get SO excited as they take out the ornaments & remember what we did when we got each ornament. They are so happy, and so am I!

  245. Every year when we are putting away the ornaments, we write what we wish for the next year. When we open the box the following year we read them to see how close we got and how blessed we have been.

  248. I didn’t have that many traditions or great memories growing up so after getting married and starting a family I wanted to make sure that my kids have them. My favorite is decorating the house for Christmas. I just love having all that stuff around all the time. If I could I would leave it up year round. And letting our little girl put things up where she wants them lets her have a big role too.

  251. Every Christmas Eve we unwrap one gift, one that we all know what it is but still the unwrapping part is part of the excitement…of course!! Everyone in the house opens up new christmas eve pj’s, even visiting guests if there are any over nighters. Then we all get changed sit on the floor in front of the fireplace and eat dinner. Its a tradition that I started when I fist got married 20 years ago, now others have begun the same one which makes me smile and I know that my kids will also carry it on.

  255. Every year, we make a bunch of cookies. The kids can’t help with many, but they love to help with the cut out cookies. Then, we put together plates of cookies to take to school for the teachers, to share with the neighbors and take to work. While we bake, we have Christmas music/movies playing in the background.
