I love this time of year. Christmas is my very favorite holiday for so many reasons.

As a kid, I waited all year for the presents. (I had to wait all year for presents because my birthday is on Christmas, too so it is double the fun!) I loved making my list, telling Santa what I wanted and then the anticipation of waiting to open presents and see if I got what I wanted.

As I got older, I still liked making my list and the presents, but the focus shifted a bit from the presents to family and spending time with those people I love.

Now that I have a family and kids of my own, my whole perspective on Christmas and the holidays has changed. It is all about making it as special and magical as I remember it to be, for my kids.

One thing I loved, and still love, about Christmas is the tradition in my family of opening one present on Christmas Eve. For as long as I can remember, we have opened one pre-picked present on Christmas Eve and it is always the same thing – new pajamas. After the first years of pajamas, I came to realize that it was always going to be pajamas, usually hand made by my mom.
It became a comfort to know that every year, we got to open one present and that one present would always be a pair of new pajamas. And my mom still gets my brother and I new pajamas, but she also gets them for my Hubby and my sister-in-law and now my kids. These are the kids jammies from last year:

It is also a comfort to know that my mom will do this as long as she can for my family every Christmas, and everything willing - that will be for a long time to come. Then it will be a tradition that I will carry on and hopefully my kids will carry on.

What parts of your holiday traditions are a comfort for you that you will pass on to your kids?
