1. Food, of course! Yay food! Christmas cookies, Christmas pudding, and all seasonal things like mince pies, or roast goose, buche de noel and peppermint bark.
2. Maybe peppermint bark deserves a special mention all its own. Yum, yum, yum.
You can buy it from here.
3. Carols and Christmas songs like this one, this one, and this one.
4. Ok, I admit it, I love getting presents. Especially if they are books, video games, or something for the kitchen.
5. I love giving them too.
6. The feeling of camaraderie everybody seems to get around December, as if they've suddenly realized that goodwill towards men includes everyone, and not just the people they like.
7. Christmas specials on tv. My absolute favorite is "The Night Before Christmas" with the mice, but this may be an opinion shared by no one but me.
8. Seeing our stockings hung by the chimney with care, and the house looking all decorated and Christmas-y.
9. Tracking Santa on NORAD's Santa Tracker with my daughter on Christmas eve. We also enjoy hanging out at this website around Christmas-time.
10. Seeing the myriad of fun new ways that others celebrate the holidays, and incorporating their traditions into our own family traditions.
How about you? What are your favorite holiday traditions?
