Last Week's question was What is/are your favorite Winter Holiday traditions and activites and why? Here are some of the best responses! Happy Holiday to all!
"An activity that my family and I do, is my mom makes this little string of decorated toilet paper rolls. Then she puts little strips of paper that say something special that we do that day. Some of them last year were, go ice skating, go to the movies, make cookies, and lots more. For every day in December there is a roll that has a piece of paper in it that says we get to do something special. We have been doing this for a few years and it is always somethings to look forward to every year. "
"My favrite winter holiday traditoin is when me and my family gather around the fire and open presents. To me christmas means to just spend time with your family and loved ones."
"Thanksgiving is eating our meal as a big family. We all get together and play games, eat lunch and dinner, and watch TV. We have our whole family come from everywhere and we catch up on each others lives. I love Thsnksgiving because it is the one day that i get to sit and rememebr my great grandpa Reed. We used to do Thanksgiving on his farm and we would go play with the animals and in the barn. After he died my grandma had to sell the farm, we never went back there and its really sad. So on Thanksgiving we all bring pictures and memories of him and pray for him as a family."
"I love going ice skating during the winter its my favorite winter sport and something I can do reallly well."
"One winter tradition that I really like is every year on Christmas Morning my brother and I wake up really early and get our stockings. then we watch old Christmas cartoons and look at the things in our stockings that aren't wrapped."
"My family tradition is have my birthday & my sisters birthday over Thanksgiving break, because sometimes my birthday falls on thanksgiving and my sisters birthday is just a week later. So we usually just have our birthdays on Thanksgiving."
"Going up to my Grandmas house for Christmas. We have snowball fights outside then go inside for a huge meal. They we either do a puzzle or watch TV or have a Nerf gun fight. After that we open the presents and then have a wrapping paper war. We have to clean it up but its still fun. Then we play with our new things there for a little while and then go home. I really love Christmas because my family gets together."
"My favorite winter activity is putting up the Christmas tree with my whole family. It is just nice to get everyone together after being so busy and just hangout as a whole family and relax."
"My favorite Christmas tradition is Sleeping Under the Christmas Tree. That's when all of the grandchildren go over to my grandma's house somewhere around Christmas. We watch a movie, eat popcorn, sing christmas songs, drink hot cocoa, and go caroling. We don't actually sleep under the tree because we wouldn't all fit. There are 9 grandchildren, but only 6 of us are old enough to do it. We go caroling around my grandma's neighborhood. It's kind of embarassing since I am the oldest, but I still have fun!"
"one of my familys favorite traditions is black friday shopping we always go out early in the morning and shop for christmas presents and other things because of the huge sale!"
"My family has an awesome Halloween party every year and we all get to see each other and spend time with each other. During that party we have a chili contest and I like to taste each one because my family makes the best chili to me."
"My favorite holiday tradition is when we all sit in like a circle and tell jokes around christmas then when we all take turn opening gifts. because, it brings my whole family closer."
