We exchange our gifts with no one around but us so we can really enjoy the gift giving. We also buy at least one ornament a year together. When we move in together we plan on starting a few traditions - he wants to bake cookies together and I want one night with no T.V. - just christmas music, hot chocolate and tree decorating
i always thought it was a cute idea to give pajamas on christmas eve so everyone can wear them in the morning while i'm snapping pictures.
We actually do have our own tradition...ever xmas eve we have dinner with my family and then we watch movies just him and i and at 12 midnight we open our gifts....then we sleep late xmas morning!!
i want to keep one of the family traditions .....xmas eve w/ my dads side of the family!

i want to start one.. but not sure what yet... maybe i'll making him a special dessert but only make it on xmas... FMIL had a couple traditions that I know i'm going to keep and make my own, and I told FH and he liked that idea... but she had no xmas traditions....
i know i want to buy a new ornament for the tree every year we're together.. i thought that was a cute idea... on top of going to pick out a tree... yaythis will be our first xmas together in our house...
i like the ornament idea!!! i wanna get one that says 'our first xmas'
FH is jewish but so excited to celebrate xmas this year!!! lol
We always go into the city the day after christmas to see the tree, see a show on broadway and go out to dinner. We also have a big 'wrapping party' just the two of us like a week before and we drink cocoa and have cookies. We'll carry both of those on.
Nothing crazy... just go see the tree... but we enjoy shopping together... (he dosent like the shopping just likes being in the mall at christmas time)

My family is big on celebrating xmas eve. When we were younger, my parents would wake my sister and I up around midnight and all our fam would be at the house, like santa just came. We'd open all our presents then, etc. So we'll just continue doing that, celebrating on xmas eve as well as xmas (also makes visiting both fams easier).
