This is my first Christmas, and also OUR first together, but we've decided on a few things to be traditions.
Tree goes up after Thanksgiving dinner (same night) as we listen to Christmas music.
Every year, we will get one ornament for ourselves as a couple, and one for our children.
Christmas Eve will be spent watching Christmas movies and snuggling in PJ's, probably with some sort of baked goods. When the kids are with us and when we have kids together, we will read the Night Before Christmas and other Christmas stories to get them excited for Santa.
Christmas morning, BF and I will sleep in (unless the kids are with us, then that's considered inhumane treatement lol). I will make a nice breakfast and we will open presents. Later on, a big dinner of ham or turkey with all the fixings.
The tree will stay up until New Years day.
