12 Days of Christmas Blog Challenge - Holiday Traditions


I'm linking up with Aly and Molly for their 12 Days of Christmas Blog Challenge.  Click here is you want to join in the fun!

{Day 1: Christmas Traditions}
Every Christmas Eve my brother and I get to open one gift.  It is always a book.  I think in a way it helped my parents get the excited kids in bed.  But I love getting this present each Christmas Eve. 

We also have lots of foods each Christmas, like lumpia.  I love it!!  And so does anyone that I've ever introduced to it.  They are delicious.

Little things like watching Christmas movies, like the Muppet Christmas Carol, make me think of Christmas too.

We always have one person as the "elf" each Christmas morning too.  The elf wears a santa hat, they hand out the presents and decide which Christmas music we will listen to.  The elf also decides if we open stockings or presents first. 

Just linking up with this is completely getting me in the mood for the holidays!!
