We have lots of traditions in our family. But I'm not going to mention all of them. One of my favorite traditions is when my whole family comes over on Christmas day and has a big feast!!! I love spending time with my family. Another family tradition is going to see the tree at Rockefeller Center. Before we see the tree we go see Santa at Macy's. Hope everybody had fun HOLIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Christmas traditions are decorating a Christmas Tree, eating cookies for dessert and chicken for dinner, and the night before Christmas we make cookies for Santa. These are my Christmas traditions and one more new tradition is playing Club Penguin.
My family traditions are that my family we always put up a Christmas tree. We usually spend some of my vacation in Connecticut with my cousins or my grandparents. We always have a super fun time! This Christmas I went to my grandparents house. On Christmas day every one went to my grandparents other house to take a walk. But me and my dad stayed home. We went down the street to the landscaping company that my great grandfather father founded and now my great uncle Jack runs it. All the workers were on vacation. If they weren't on vacation me and my dad probably wouldn't be allowed there.
There was a lot of frozen puddles and we jumped on them and saw how thick they were. We also jumped and climbed on giant mountains of pebbles. Dad found a really big rock on top of a big wooden bin and buried the bottom of it in the mountain of pebbles. We stood about sixteen to twenty feet away and had a contest to see who could hit the big rock first. My dad won. Then I knocked the big rock down and it slid slowly down the mountain. Then we looked in the wood shed. Then me and my dad walked up the street and went home. That was the end of that story. This year we had an early Christmas. It was on the last friday before Christmas.
One of my family traditions is to have fun! The last Wednesday before Christmas I was absent that day one of the things I did that day was ice skating. I really liked it. That might turn into a Christmas vacation tradition. Another family tradition is to have special dinner. We don't have a meal that is repeated every Christmas but our meal is always special and rare. A tradition that is in every family is Christmas vacation. It is a tradition of many things, family, teachers, schools, but it is especially a tradition to kids. I hope you had fun reading this.

Usually, we use royal icing to hold the houses together but, this year we used a glue gun. Me and my mom make cookies and Christmas ornaments.

For Christmas, I go to my grandparents' house upstate. It is usually cold so there is a lot of activity and hot chocolate. We usually open presents on the 24th because it is a Norwegian tradition. My brother and cousin come home from college.

Another tradition is the Christmas pageant.

Always on Christmas Eve we have all of our friends over. We bake cookies and decorate them for Santa and his reindeer. We usually have some sort of meat, this Christmas Eve we had porterhouse steak. We watch a movie with our friends-this year it was the Polar Express. On Christmas Day we get up and open presents. In the afternoon we go to our neighbor Leo and Elijah's and have latkas and celebrate Channukah with them. Then we all go to our other neighbor's house, Catherine and Darryls, and have dinner. Then we all come to our house for dessert.
Its fun having a tradition in my family. me and my relatives all join in my grandmas house. my grandma makes great food and so do my aunts. this christmas my grandma made two pinatas so we can break them and get all the goodies inside. also we got amazing presents, especially me. then we tell jokes sfter we open our presents and then we all go home.

In my family, Xmas is a very important time of year. Our traditions are to get a giant Xmas tree (2011s was 10 feet tall!) and decorate it with lights and candles, along with other lights around the house. On Christmas Eve, we light the candles right before my bedtime and my parents put a bunch of presents under our tree. On Xmas, I start opening presents at 7:00 in the morning. I don't go anywhere and a few days before Xmas, we cut down or buy a tree and decorate it.

Another tradition is making sugar cookies and decorating them with white, black, green and red frosting witch we eat and give to Santa. We also have friends over every Christmas Eve. We all give each other gifts and have a fancy dinner with games and jokes.
In my family, everybody is exited about Xmas because my mom lived in Santa Claus Indiana. I like to celebrate. On Xmas Eve I go to bed late. I sneak up trying to catch Santa Claus.
I celebrate Chanukah so we light the candles every night and I get a present every night (unfortunately a small present). But we also go to my Grandmas house on Christmas morning and exchange presents.
The first piece of technology I used was a play station 3 (PS3) and I still use it now. In five years, the software would definitely be advanced. There would be better password protection.
I seriously doubt that there will be flying cars or voice-activated cars like some people suspect. Since it is only five years from now, I think it might be more advanced but we will not know how to build or construct flying cars.
On Christmas my traditions are…
1. Putting up a Christmas tree.
2. Hanging up stockings.
3. Waking up early on Christmas.
4. Opening presants under the tree.
5. Leaving cookies and milk for Santa Claus.

My mom always makes breakfast. My grandma Awilda makes me anxious because me and my brother have to wait till she comes to open the presents she gave us. We always stay home on new years but not this year. we always get excited on new years when the ball drops. Well there you have it, these are my new years and Christmas traditions.
On Christmas Eve I always go to my Tita Mannette's house after church. We eat Filipino foods like pancit, adobo, and lumpia. Our tradition is opening our presents at midnight. After we open the presents we take pictures. On Christmas day I go to my grandpa's house for dinner and to open the presents from my mom's side of the family. After all the presents are open we eat dessert.
On Christmas Eve we go to my friend's house. We play video games and act wild. My God father and God mother give me and Zac presents. On Christmas morning we wake up early to open presents. Then we take a plane to Wisconsin to visit both my grandparents. On New Years Eve we have a big celebration.

My tradition during the Christmas holiday is to go to my grandma's house. We always eat the following foods during the holiday: yellow rice and peas, roast pork, pasteles, macaroni salad and barbecue chicken. It is always delicious! This year our tradition changed. We went to my uncle's house. He just moved in with his family. I had a great time this Christmas with my family.
I celebrate Christmas. I don't celebrate Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, or Three Kings Day. I normally celebrate with my grandparents, and sometimes with my cousins. We normally have a special Christmas bread. It is bread with icing on it and candied cherries in it. My mom or my grandma makes it. On Christmas Eve, we eat a big dinner. This year it was roast beef, mashed potatoes, and roasted vegetables. I also played with my cousins, and then we hung stockings. On Christmas day, we wake up, eat Christmas bread, and then, when everyone's awake, we march to the stockings and we open presents.
My Christmas traditions are
We see my mom and dad's family every year.But we go to different houses.We go to mass on Christmas eve and wish Jesus happy birthday.We always have a Christmas tree,a big feast,and we give presents to each other.We have lots of cheers and love.
My traditions are putting up the Christmas tree. Opening my presents and being in my pajams all day. I also go and visit my family and friends. I visit different family members and friends each year.
Our Christmas traditions include decorating our front yard with lights and ornaments and a big wreath. Our tree is set up near the front window and we leave cookies and milk out for Santa on Cristmas eve. On Christmas morning Santa leaves a red sack filled with gifts for me and my family. I am always surprised at what Santa brings me because I never ask for anything but I am always thankful for what I get. On New years eve me and my parents always run the midnight race together with NY road runners and watch the fireworks at the finish line. There is hot chocolate and sparking cider for everyone. I love spending holidays with my family.
My traditions during the Christmas holidays are:to get a tree right after Thanksgiving. Then, right about when Christmas break starts,I go to my grandmother's house with my whole family, on my dad's side. On Christmas morning, I look in my stockings and open my presents soon after. Finally, I go to my Aunt Beatrice's house for dinner.
I go to my Oma's house on Christms Eve. Almost all of my family comes too, my cousins, my aunt and uncle and my Great Aunt Bon. All of the kids play a traditional German game called "Find the Pickle." My Oma hides the pickel ornament in the tree. Then all the kids come out and try to find it! Whoever finds it first gets and extra present! My cousin Quinton won this year and he got $10 as a present! Then we play this other game where my Dad reads "The Night Before Christmas" and every time we heard the word "the" we passed a present to the person next to us. When the story was done we opened the present that wound up in our hand. I eneded up getting a Game Stop gift card! That was my Christmas Eve tradition!
Every Christmas,we normally open presents,have dinner and spend time with each other.
Some of my holiday tradition's are...
always getting a real Chrismas tree and trying to celebrate another holiday during this time of year.Another one is puting the ornements on the chrismas tree
and getting a new ornements each year.
I mostly go to my grandma's hose.I eat corn,stake,and mashpotatoe,gravy.
For tree kings day my mom makes pernil. That is roast pork with all the other spanish trimmimg like arroz con condules, macaroni salad,pastels and coconut rice pudding my favorite called arroz dulce.
My family doesn't exactly have traditions, but we do light the candles, say the prayers (in Hebrew). and find the presents. We also sometimes play dreidel, make donuts, and throw Chanukah parties.Of course we find presents for 8 nights in a row. It's especially fun for me because my parents hide the presents and my brother and I have to find them while are parents give us hints by saying hot or cold, hot = close to the presents and cold=far from the presents. those are my holiday traditions.
My family tradition is about spending time with my family. We watch movies the night before Christmas and then go to sleep. Then we wake up at 12:00 midnight, me and my sister Jaileen race out to the living room to open our presents. We look under the tree and when we find one with our name on it we tear it apart! Then we thank our family for our presents. That is my family tradition.
