Readers have been sharing their Christmas Traditions with us for over a decade and it's our pleasure to share some with you. Here's one we hope you'll like:

We have several traditions that our family enjoys each Christmas. One of my favorites is giving my two young daughters a new (age appropriate) story book about Christmas each Christmas Eve. This Christmas will be our 5th Christmas doing this. The first year we started with a board book!! Last year it was Dr. Seuss. We read the new book together just before bed on Christmas Eve.

I have also continued the tradition started by my mother when I was a child of giving each of our girls new PJs to open on Christmas Eve. I always wrap the PJs in wrapping paper personalized with their first names (makes it easy to find the right boxes under the tree on Christmas Eve!!).

Last year, I purchased a decorative storage trunk to store all of the Christmas Eve books that we anticipate accumulating over the years to come. I am also keeping a photo album in the trunk with photographs of Christmases past. We place the trunk next to the Christmas tree during the holiday season. My girls were thrilled this past weekend when we brought the "treasure chest" up from storage. We've been reading Christmas books each night before bed. Many years to come, I think it will be very special to look through the trunk on Christmas Eve, read stories, and reminisce over old photographs.
