The holiday season is the perfect time to celebrate old traditions and create new ones. In my family, one holiday tradition that we hold true each year is that each of us opens one gift on Christmas Eve. It’s something that both of my kiddos really enjoy, and I have to admit, I do too! But we also like to make new holiday traditions as well. This year, a new tradition is that each of us are going to make our own ornament for our tree.
Another holiday tradition that we all love to indulge in during the holidays is our Thanksgiving and Christmas parties. We always have the family over for turkey dinner on Thanksgiving, and then a close-knit soiree on Christmas Eve. During these events, we have the usual fixings, but we also enjoy finger foods and appetizers that are easy to make and share. This year, I received a Hickory Farms Party Planner box filled with cheeses, spreads, beef sausages, and nuts. It’s the perfect item to share with my guests!

You can easily find a Hickory Farms store or kiosk in malls, locations, and within retailers all across the U.S. Ordering on their website is easy too, and you can surely find the perfect gift for even the most discriminating person on your list on the Hickory Farms website.

I look forward to coming up with creative and meaningful ideas for gifts for my parents. They basically have everything they need, so it is a meaningful challenge to come up with an appropriate and meaningful gift.
Growing up I never lived anywhere that allowed for pets but I always wanted a dog. Can’t remember when it started but my mother and I always watch the dog show together on Thanksgiving while the last few items are cooking. Although my mom is almost 30 years older than me she’s like a big sister. We missed carrying out our tradition over the last few years. However, we were just talking this past Saturday about how we are both looking forward to watching it together this year.
Taking holiday pic for xmas cards! I always stress and we always have a laugh thanks to the kiddos.
I look forward to making the most of the holidays no matter what we have. My children and I write what we are thankful and share this on Turkey Day and on christmas we have a born day for Jesus! Our gifts to Him are works of charity in the community and in our own home!
I always look forward to all if us getting together at my Moms and she enjoying her kids, grand kids and her great grand kid. #goodtimes

We love to buy a new holiday ornament for our tree that sums up the theme of the year.
thanks for the chance!
I look forward to the holiday baking. We do quite a bit of baking on Christmas Eve; cookies, cake, candied pecans, sweet breads, etc. And we sit and decorate the cookies while Christmas music or classic holiday movies/cartoons play in the background. It’s a lot of work, but I love it. Then on Christmas morning we have hot cocoa or coquito with our homemade goodies while opening up our gifts.

I do the same thing with my children that my parents did with me…random pajama rides! When a pajama ride is announced everyone stops, jumps in the car, and goes cruising for Christmas light displays 🙂 So much fun.
I liked our holiday tradition where we string popcorn & put on christmas tree together
