10 Fun Traditions to Adopt on Christmas Eve

December 18, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

I remember just starting out and wanting my own traditions when it came to the holidays. There are so many different things that you can add into your traditional events and activities but if you’re looking for something a little bit new, what you give these 10 unique and fun traditions a try for your Christmas Eve this year.

10 Fun Traditions to Adopt on Christmas Eve

#1. Create a hot chocolate bar.

What can be warmer and inviting been a warm cup of hot chocolate? It even looks like the spirit of the season and when you can layout a beautiful spread of toppings, flavors, and make sense, it’s fun for everyone. Even if it’s just a couple of people or the entire neighborhood, this is a great tradition. Set out different types of toppings, flavor mix-ins, and flavored whipped cream. Have a big bowl, punch bowl, or crockpot full of delicious hot chocolate for people to serve up.

#2. Have a Christmas treasure hunt.

Maybe make the kids work for their treats from Santa this year. You can hide treats from Santa throughout the house or even outside setting up clues like a wild goose chase from one to another.

#3. Give new pajamas.

We’ve adopted this in our household where everyone gets new Christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve. You wear your pajamas and then spend the rest of Christmas Day in those warm and cozy PJs.

#4. Give.

I can’t think of a better Christmas tradition and giving. Don’t forget about people in need during the holidays so whether it’s bringing a plate of cookies to a neighbor, giving to your local food bank, or offering charity to your local church in whatever gift they are doing, giving brings out the spirit in all of us.

#5. Have a Christmas cookie competition.

Have everyone bring a dozen cookies, all different kinds, and then you can vote on which one is your favorite.

#6. Break out the board games.

Has that Monopoly or Scrabble board sat in your closet too long? Consider being more interactive this year and have everyone sit down to a roving boardgame.

#7. Ask your ancestors for inspiration.

What did your ancestors do for Christmas Eve? Are there traditional foods or activities people would do on Christmas? Dig a little deeper and find out what people ate back then and serve it up on Christmas Eve.

#8. Open one present.

I remember growing up that we can open one present on Christmas Eve. You might even combine it with the pajama gift.

#9. Christmas movie binging.

Didn’t get a chance to watch all your favorites this year? Consider binging until midnight with your favorite Christmas movies of Its a Wonderful Life, the Santa Claus, and Miracle on 34th St.

#10. Decorate gingerbread houses.

Have a gingerbread making contest where everyone gets a cheap gingerbread house at the store and can decorate it to their heart’s content. If there are enough people, hold the competition and see who wins. You might even consider posting it on social media to get everyone else involved.

This is going to be a wonderful Christmas this year and from our family to yours, Happy Holidays!!

“Life will lead you to where you belong. Five years ago life led me to meeting Karen Baker at an Open House. Our relationship continues as Karen and her husband Frank have been outstanding not only in helping my husband and I find the right retirement relocation home, but we have watched their commitment in helping many others find their homes. She and Frank treat every client as if they are the only ones that exist. They provide thorough research of areas and homes of interest and present you with the options. They are not your typical hard sell, must-buy-now realtors. They are here to help you find your next home?. You won’t go wrong with the Bakers!

“The Bakers treated us like family during our whirlwind weekend of looking at houses. Prior to our on-site visit to Sunset Beach they created a portal and populated it with properties that met our ever-evolving criteria. By time we arrived we had a good feel for what we could afford and what was available that met our criteria. The Bakers, especially Karen, were able to make sense of what we thought we were looking for and eventually matched us with a house that we ended up purchasing — Karen called it the “This is it” house and she was right. We are loving our 2nd home and appreciate how painless Karen and Frank made the process. All the paperwork was done seamlessly and quickly and the closing went off without a hitch. The Bakers do not believe in the hard sell — they gave us the knowledge we needed and the guidance we needed to make our dream a reality.”

Amy and I have bought and sold four properties in the past twelve years. Both of you are the best realtors we have ever dealt with. Amy and I both felt we could trust you to look out for our interest. The level of service you provided was outstanding, from taking the trash out, helping the buyer with inspecting the irrigation system, dealing with our tenants, always being there if we needed to ask a question, providing constant updates on the market and always keeping us informed on the sale of our house. I think your next venture should be training other realtors, because both of you have mastered the art of providing excellent service. I will be sure to recommend the Frank and Karen team to anybody looking for a trust worthy, knowledgeable and top performing realtor. It was a pleasure working with both of you.”
