My family always comes to my house since I have only brothers. I do all of the cooking. Also my daughter and the grandchildren come over. I enjoy it because I never have to leave home for Christmas. Hope you and your family have a merry Christmas.
My favorite tradition is getting up early Christmas morning to drink hot chocolate with my older daughter (she's 13 now) with nothing but the Christmas tree on. It's a nice, quiet time to enjoy the beauty of the season before the day gets crazy.

Merry Christmas. Robin and thank you for this wonderful giveaway, first of all we celebrate Jesus Christ's birth ,then Our Christmas tradition is me in all Of my grandchildren get together we make Christmas cards make cookies but most of all they get more excited about playingChristmas bingo , About three years ago we did not have very much money for Christmas , so I came up with the idea Christmas bingo to play with the grandkids I went uptown to the dollar tree store we bought a few little dollar items and wrap them up And put on them for a girl or a boy so when the bingo they didn't know what it was, the , look on their little faces as they Yeah out bingo and the excitement of them Choosing the gift was priceless , so now every year when it starts getting close to Christmas they start asking grandma are we playing Christmas bingo this year they just love it,
Merry Christmas and God bless you all
We bake cookies, there are some that we only bake at Christmas time so it is a special treat and a fun tradition.
Happy birthday to your little guy! My favorite tradition is singing silent night for candle light service Christmas Eve!
When my daughter was growing up, we would have a macaroni & cheese & ham dinner. Then pile her & the cousins in the car to go to church and then to the section of town known for the most Christmas lights & displays. Then back home for dessert & open 1 gift (which was always new pj's for pictures the next day.) Put out cookies & milk for Santa & off to bed. Next morning we let kids open socks then have a big brunch then on to presents. Now my daughter's family meets us at our mountain cabin sometime during the Christmas break. We play games & put together a new jigsaw puzzle.
We always go to Christmas Eve church service and come back to our house for some desserts and invite family and friends to join us. On Christmas morning we each of get a small LEGO set and after breakfast we sit around the table and put together our legos. Even their spouses that never played with legos enjoy it too. Our adult kids love that they still get legos and have fun putting them together. Its a good memory for me as they loved playing with legos when they were kids. Also, on Christmas morning my hubby has chosen a specific song for each of our three kids (and the two older ones spouses) and he reads a letter to our children and tells them what each of their songs are and why he picked that one for them. He starts planning this weeks before Christmas as he has to find the right song that describes what that kid is going thru or has gone thru or something about their life the past year. Like when they got married or got a new job or just something that pertains to the years events of their life. They really get excited about hearing what songs Dad has chosen for them. My hubby is big into music so he loves doing this and our kids love finding out what song Dad has picked for them. He prints a copy and gives it to them and then they can read the lyrics to their song. We started this many years ago when our children were teenagers and really into music. We look forward to these traditions every year and I love that my hubby started the song tradition.
We always celebrate with tamales, rice and beans, Mexican hot chocolate…the works on Christmas eve and open one gift each then Christmas day we celebrate with a more traditional English luncheon with a huge rack roast, roasted veggies, homemade rolls, and a birthday cake for Jesus.

We love doing the chocolate advent calendars and before Christmas I like to play Christmas songs on the piano and try to get the kids to sing along.
On Christmas Eve we gather with family and have dinner. Afterwards we get a visit from a "special" visitor who brings presents to all the kids. Then on Christmas morning we open presents and have our favorite breakfast that everyone helps to make.
We start with going to church early then extended family comes over for dinner. This is Christmas Eve. Christmas Day we open gifts with our kids and grandkids and then make a big breakfast. In the afternoon we go to a cousins house for dinner and family fun. ????
our family has a Christmas breakfast together its so much fun,this way all the kids can open there gifts from grandparents.Then everyone goes to all the others family dinners.

My favorite Christmas tradtion is the entire famly going to my parent's home Christmas Eve for a big dinner & gift exchange! Thanks for a great giveaway!

We have a sleigh made from a box and decorated. We each take a gift and put it in the box and we open that Christmas eve. When the kids were little, they would fight to pull the sleigh around
The first one up on Christmas gets to place baby Jesus in my big nativity set. I have 26 so I have to limit it.
My mom always gave us pjs on Christmas Eve and now I do the same with my kids.
We have a morning brunch for those that want to come in the morning and then we play games all day until we go to my son's for c-mas.
Just started a new one this year for my 3 year old grandson. Made him his own tree to decorate, out of felt and made ornaments for him to decorate with. He decorates and changes things around over and over …. hopefully a new tradition for a few years to come. Happy Traditions All Lynda

Mine may seen funny to some, but it's pizza on Christmas Eve!!!!We used to have Christuzza willmas eve and one year after cooking all day nobody wanted to cook dinner. The local pizza place was the only place open and the tradition was born.Now long since my family is smaller and we don't have Christmas eve anymore the pizza will live on….

Making Christmas cookies … traditional ones that everyone HAS to have, trying new recipes that become keepers so the list keeps growing, then exchange with a friend's family. We have quite the selection of goodies after many years of doing this. 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win these great sets. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I love it Lyn!
Cute stamp sets! One of our Christmas traditions is we do the Jesse tree advent starting December 1 and my little boys that are four and under absolutely love it!
I bet they love it!! My little boys would, too!
Wow, not just one amazing stamp set but two!!!! Love them both but I would say my favorite is the Cozy Christmas set.
Our tradition is eating tamales. My grandmother use to make them but since she has passed away we have to purchase them now.
Happy Birthdays to the little Cardons!
my favorite tradition is making a gingerbread house. One year I went all out and made homemade gingerbread and a 2 story house. It was fabulous. too bad there wasn't pictures. that was way before kids. Now I have a tradition to make a gingerbread house with my granddaughter. she has been asking for weeks. Tomorrow we will use the Trader Joes kit and construct the house and let her decorate as she likes. It will be a great work of art – made by a 4 year old. Happy Holidays
We do that, too! We usually use graham crackers and a LOT of candy!!
On Christmas Eve we get together with all of our extended family and eat buffet style, exchange and open gifts, and then all go together to the candlelight Christmas Eve service at our church. When we get home the girls get to open their gift of new pajamas and put them on – it helps make sure that they will not end up in raggedy old jammies for Christmas morning pics 🙂 Then they open their new ornament for the year and hang it on the tree – when they're older and have their own tree they'll have a good start on ornaments and lots of childhood memories. Each ornament they get represents something new that happened or they did that year – braces, zip line, archery, flute, etc..
one of our traditions – never put up our tree before my birthday. That was a good way for us to keep our children from rushing the season. I wanted to enjoy my birthday and have fun with our kids before all the Christmas celebrations.
Our tradition in this Hispanic was to have tamales freshly made. Now though they are purchased , but the gathering is still the same followed by midnight mass.
Wish we still had traditions, since the kids are grown and live in different states it is very hard to find a time all can get together. It is wonderful when your children are small, so enjoy them. Always keep Christ in Christmas
Our favorite tradition is my girls and I baking and decorating a Happy Birthday Jesus cake together on Christmas Eve day – then on Christmas morning we start our day talking about the true meaning of Christmas and singing Happy Birthday to Jesus, blowing out the candles for Him, and eating birthday cake for breakfast – the only time of the year we get away with cake for breakfast. 🙂
Merry, Merry Christmas Robyn! our favorite tradition is leaving a box of assorted tree ornaments by the tree..we invite every guest who visits to grab an ornament and add it to the tree!
Every Christmas eve. we open our house up to whomever would like to stop in for homemade chicken meat pies, chocolates and all kinds of chips and dips…mmmm I am getting hungry.lol
Merry Christmas… Cathyplus5

We pick one of our gift received and take it to the Salt Lake City Christnas box house, we make Christmas cards with foster kids and take Santa pictures for them with Santa. 🙂
Love the LO of your son! Amazing how quickly they grow up isn't it?!? Our family tradition is visit family, sadly only mine nowadays, after we open presents…but we must eat the dunkin donuts we buy first! Almost as important 😉 Merry Christmas!
I no longer have family close by, so I will need to make a new tradition for the future. I got some great ideas from this post. I am a you tube subscriber
You tube subscriber here! I can't wait for your next video – so much inspiration! Christmas in my family revolves around all my children and grandchildren gathering at my house to open presents Santa left there! It used to be my mom's house until we lost her last year. I am proud to carry on the tradition!

My son in in Colorado now my hubby & I are trying new Christmas things until we find one we like
My mom and daughter set up the nativity scene together every year.
So excited for this giveaway… In my family growing up we always opened our gifts on Christmas Eve.
My mom will always make our favorite Mexican dishes.. Tamales are my favorite!!
This year my husband and I are cooking Christmas dinner for our families, hopefully it will be the beginning of a new tradition!!
Thanks for a chance for a give away. When I was a child and then with our kids growing up, on Christmas Eve we open one present of New PJ's. That way the morning photo would look nice. Then later in the day we dress up for dinner. Have a Very Merry Chirstmas!
Our family goes out to the woods and pick out our tree and cut it down. Many years we have had a Charlie Brown tree but love it.
I subscribed to your you tube page. We have Christmas in July with my dad's side of the family and we play a game to get presents. It is so much fun! Merry Christmas!!

My husband and I had our first baby 3 weeks before Christmas she was 11 weeks early and they told us she would not live. She did live and now has 2 babies of her own. That Christmas my husband was out of work and we did not have insurance. Lots of medical bills but not much of anything else. My mother gave us a dozen red bulbs. My brother bought us a tree. We did not even have the little hooks that you use to hang the ornaments so we used the curling ribbon you put on packages and tied them on. We still tie those red ornaments on the tree first every year to remind us how blessed we have been. And my married daughters do it in their homes too

I love spending time with my family, we set aside one night to reminiscing and enjoying all the laughs

We have many traditions but now that each of my kids is married I am going to have to re think some of them. We always went as a family and hunted our tree and cut down a live one. There was the usual complaining, fights, etc. but we fondly remember those trips in the filed. Each year they get a dated ornament. Now that they each have their own homes, I have gifted them their set of ornaments. We continue the tradition of photos with Santa although now my husbnad dresses up for the part. They won't be seen in public doing this! Two years ago I gave the two couples matching pjs. I did it again last year. This year it is matching Christmas t shirts. Stockings always have lottery tickets – that is another one. I always love reading everyone's traditions.
Well, this is the last year for a "normal" Christmas. My baby girl will be in college next year so we will have to create new traditions. Midnight Mass is one of our traditions that will always continue. I love sitting in church when the lights are turned down and the music is softly playing. It is a nice time to reflect on everything we have to be thankful for, so many blessings.
We always spend Christmas Eve with my side and Christmas morning with my hubbys Mom and step dad. Just a reminder to cherish your traditions and the loved ones you make them with. My dear father is very ill and hoping we will get to celebrate one more Christmas together as a complete family. God is good and we celebrated his 70th birthday on turkey day, but praying for another Christmas season.
thanks for your wonderful giveaways and videos.

We have oyster stew and then visit all of our grandchildren. I love watching them and seeing their excitement
We have older girls and they have families, and we have a 25th anniversary gift from God, a wonderful 14'yr old son. So, we get together throughout the Christmas holiday and Christmas Eve. We share my mothers Mexican food recipes and spend time playing with the kids.i think I started watching your videos when your youngest was 4. He is growing up so handsome.
For as long as I can remember, we've always had our family Christmas the Saturday before Christmas BUT this year, my daughter has a cheerleading competition in Hot Springs, AR SO we are trying to shuffle everything around. I love getting together with the family but seems the older we get, the more our kids have going on and it isn't as easy to all be in the same place at the same time. I would love to win this set and be able to use the 'deer' stamps for the men in my family!! ~Michelle M. (MaddyzMom36@yahoo.com)
i am already subscribed to your youtube channel. our Christmas tradition for Christmas day is i awaken everyone with the smell of freshly baked homemade cinnamon rolls and sausage and bacon breakfast casserole. in the evening of Christmas, my daughter and i would make "cracker candy" and sugar cookies 🙂
Thank you for such an awesome give away. We celebrate every year by letting the children in our family open one gift at midnight and the rest Christmas morning. Their faces make me so happy. After breakfast we get to hang out and hear the nativity story told by my dad so the kids learn why it is that we celebrate Christmas.
He's so adorable! Yes, time flies, my baby boy is 26 now!!! Thanks for giving away all the fun stuff.

Thanks for a chance to win.
Since all of our kids are grown and we have a brindle of grandkids, we go visit each one of them that are close by. That way they get to stay home and open their gifts and enjoy them and we make the rounds which takes all day. Eat with one of them, then we come home exhausted and take a Christmas nap. Makes it easier for everyone!
Oh my your youngest was an adorable baby ——two birthdays in December ——-hard month for birthdays. On Christmas my family all come to my house for sloppy Joe's. Thank you for the chance to win the stamp sets ——I really like them. I did sign up for your you tube videos
We count down the twelve days before Christmas with fun family activities, like baking cookies, making gingerbread houses, going to see Christmas lights, painting/making ornaments for the tree, acting out the story of the nativity, having a grinch themed movie night, etc.
We go to church and have a big dinner on Christmas Eve with our family and friends. The grand kids sprinkle reindeer food before bed and we read "T'was the night before Christmas".
Thanks Robyn!

We always have a Christmas Eve party with our children and grandchildren. It is awesome. My husband always reads the account of the Savior's birth. We were even still able to keep this tradition while on our mission in Guam via Skype. Thank goodness for Skype!!!
We go to church Christmas Eve then out to dinner. Family over for Christmas morning breakfast then open presents. Stockings are open after lunch . We always have a cookie bake off prior to Christmas wt prizes for all who attend.
We have a box under our tree called "The Indescribable Gift" and the kids (and parents) put things in it to describe God's love to us. Then on Christmas day, this is the first gift we open and read the papers out loud.
We have an old train depot here that has Cookies and Milk with Santa every December about two weeks before Christmas. I have took my two grandboys every year and made pictures with Santa since they were about 2 (they are 11 and 9 now). We look at the old trains and visit the displays they ha
ve (there are even family relatives pictures on display). They have a model train display with buildings from our towns past that they let the kids act as conductors of the trains, play raindeer bingo and train depot scavenger hunt. Loads of fun and I have photos that show the boys growing up while learning part of our town's history as well. Janlynn
Beautiful reminder layout, Happy Birthday to your son, Happy Holidays to you and all. Our family and friends get together at our home, lots of food, laughs, games and then midnight Mass, I'm so looking forward to this year as our granddaughter will be 4 months old. I can't wait to see her eyes twinkle with the tree lights and people. Awesome gift, fantastic stamp set. Hugs, Lori m
We eat chinese food on Christmas eve. Not sure why but that's what we did when I grew up. Thank you for a chance to win!
Me and my Bothers and sisters take turns having Christmas Eve at our houses. On Christmas Day we stay home and have our kids, and their wives and grandchildren come over for a big lunch
My favorite tradition ever since I was a child was baking cookies with my Mom, and now that I have children of my own they bake cookies with us too! It is so much fun and it melts my heart every year! That's the best present ever!!
Love your reindeer page. My oldest grandson is nine this month. Time flies.
My favorite tradition is our family dinner on Christmas Eve at a local township hall. My family and the family of my husband all get together—fun time!
Our tradition is a big dinner and opening up gifts and just having fun being together!!!
Our tradition is a big dinner and opening up gifts and just having fun being together!!!
We always re enact the nativity story with the kiddos in the family, we dress them up, read the scriptures and sing songs.
Our tradition is that we all go out to dinner on Christmas Eve. Our kids have always opened one present after dinner when we get home. On Christmas morning the kids try to get up at the crack of dawn but, we usually make them wait till at least 7 o'clock to wake us up. Then we enjoy watching them open one present at a time. Throughout the whole month of December we talk about our Savior Jesus Christ so that our kids will continue to remember the real meaning behind the season. Thank you for the chance at a great drawing. I enjoy your blog very much.
My two grand daughters come over, they are 9 & 11, and we make Gingerbread houses, then home made cookies and other goodies. Another night everyone comes over and we decorate the tree and have a special meal. We also do lots of crafting, we make ornaments every year with the girl's picture and I try to design something different every year. And we make something special for their other grandmother and great grandmother. They love that! This year will be extra special because my son-in-law's parents will be here from Colombia, we are super excited. And we usually open presents a little early because we all drive to Arkansas to see my family and my husband's family. That's a 1000 mile trip! But most of the time it is fun. 🙂 I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!
We have dinner with my mother in law on Christmas Eve. Then my mom cooks breakfast Christmas morning and we all show up in our PJs for breakfast. Then after we eat, we are like a bunch of kids, we run to the tree to divide the gifts up by name, of course everyone has their own seats year after year. Then we ask my niece to open hers first, so we can get pictures, she is 11, 12 in February, then we all start tearing them up like the house is own fire. All we hear is, let me see, that is from us, do you think that will fit, oh I love that, oh, I bought that a long time back, it goes on & on. I'm sure those sounds are heard from house to house. Happy Holiday Robyn, glad you are back.
We used to go out and look at the Christmas lights with our children, they are now frown and my husband and I have date night and still go. Love it.
Our family tradition is after all the gifts are opened we then get into our stockings. The stockings are never ever done before presents. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win these wonderful sets.

I subscribed to your YouTube channel.
We do matching jammies for each of my children's families that they get Christmas Eve. Fun to have everyone opening their gifts in their new jammies.
What a great giveaway. We go out and see the lights .
Another great giveaway, Robyn! Our Christmas tradition is to pray and read the Christmas story in Luke 2 before opening our presents on Christmas Eve. We'll usually always have a family dinner too, and take pictures! 🙂 P.S. I'm also a long-time subscriber to your YouTube channel. You inspire me so much! Also, I have a question about the stamp cleaner from SU. Could you tell me how it works, please?
How about I explain it in my video I'm posting tomorrow!
Thank you for another AWESOME giveaway Robyn! We love to bake sweets, make tamales, ham and all the fixings…then drive around to see Christmas lights on a very full tummy!
I subscribed to your YouTube Channel as well. Another way to get inspiration! Yeah!
Our Christmas Tradition is to pick out a Hallmark ornament each year that represents each member of our family. My children are 14 and 18 and when they get married I plan on giving them their ornaments from each year since birth as a wedding present to help start their Christmas tree and their own Christmas Traditions. Love these stamps sets. Hope to win.
Thanks so much for this opportunity. Love reading about everyone's Christmas Tradition.

We love to play Christmas carols while we are decorating the tree. I just love the music and it is something we do together. Always makes me happy.
Thanks for the chance to win this awesome prize.

One of our favorite traditions is giving the kids only 3 gifts, representing the 3 gifts that baby Jesus received, helps keep our eyes focused on the reason for the season.
One of our traditions has been going to Christmas Eve mass and my two sons have been in the Christmas pageant. Now that they are a little older, they help out with it and I have become the coordinator.
We have dinner and have all the family over and for our family out of state we
FaceTime them or Skype them. I hope you and your Family have a wonderful Christmas.

We have lots of traditions around our house. We go with my family and cut down our Christmas tree. We love doing this, it doesn't matter the weather. We pick a day and go, one year it was snowing and other years it is 60 degrees. You never know in the midwest what the weather will be. On Christmas Eve we go to church and then to my moms house. We get to celebrate Christmas with them but Christmas Eve is also my mom's birthday so it is extra special day for us.
As a family we celebrate Christmas, however we also celebrate 3 Kings Day on January 6. In Puerto Rico we would put hay in a shoebox under our beds for the camels, the 3 Kings would come and take the hay and leave a gift in return. Here in the US we put oats for the camels to eat it's hard to find hay if the ground is covered with snow. Feliz Navidad
Our Christmas traction is on Christmas Eve we go to Church for a special candle lite service. It's very moving and doesn't last long. But we have special singing and the youth come around and light your candle. It really touches my heart. Just to think about our Savior coming to earth just to be rejected and dying so we could be saved. Knowing that he is coming again.
Hi Robyn, I have hosted a cookie exchange for my neighbors for the past 12 years, it's a great way to get to know your neighbors and welcome new ones to the neighborhood. Would love to win those stamps! Have a wonderful holiday
Cindy
Our family always goes skiing right after Christmas. We celebrate at our house and then early the next morning we leave to ski for the winter break.
Thanks so much for the chance to win!
We open a gift each the night before Christmas. Usually it's Pj's and a movie but this year it will be pj's and a book.��
I have always loved going to drive to look at Christmas lights! My son is old enough this year to finally see them and we can't wait to take him out!!
We always have puzza and chili on xmas day with family……a lot less cooking and a lot more family time shared!
Since we don't have any family close by we invite friends who don't have family in town over on Christmas Eve and have an all appetizer meal. We eat the leftovers for lunch on Christmas Day. Dhmouse@aol.com
I don't have either of those stamp sets so would love to win! When my daughter was little we used to use my mother's Fostoria (crystal dishes) and put out treats on Christmas Eve. Now for my granddaughter I like to buy her Christmas pjs, and a Christmas DVD for her to watch on Christmas Eve. I have an advent calendar I made when my daughter was little and I still put the ornaments on each day! I guess the neat thing is seeing which traditions we did when my daughter was little that she now continues with her daughter!
We always make and decorate cookies! I'm so glad my daughters have carried on the tradition!
Favorite tradition is on Christmas Eve taking a drive around to see all the pretty lights and trees in people's houses!

I always do 2 days of baking for family & Friends goodie treats… HB2U'r boys this month.. Hugs!!!!
Been following you for many years as you know.. ie. FB/Blog/YT…
We always go caroling as a family on my husband's birthday on the 22nd and hand out ornaments to the families we visit. We all look forward to it every year!
Lots of traditions – we always open one gift from each other on Christmas Eve. Also a big tradition to go find and cut down our own tree and then bring it home to decorate 🙂 Love the Christmas season and this awesome giveaway! Thanks Robyn and Happy Birthday to your little boy!
Love the stamp set.
We have French toast for breakfast on Christmas Day and we have ice box cake for dessert
We have lots of fun…we go to Church, have a s-l-o-w family dinner (a treat for us), read 'twas the night before Christmas, sprinkle reindeer food and watch Christmas movies.
Wow Robyn! You are SO awesome!!! Every year I bake cookies and send my kids to all the neighbors house with a tin of treats! Mostly to share but also to show my kids how important it is to share and give we you can. The neighbors love to see them coming and enjoy treats they would not make on their own as some are older. Happy Holidays!!
Baking cookies to give to family and friends. Tried new recipes but since everyone had a favorite heaven help me if I left one of them out. One year was hospitalized over the Christmas holidays. Everyone decided the kitchen staff should let me use the hospital's ovens that year!! Cookies were delivered on Valentines Day that year.

Love ya Robyn! Thanks for being awesome! 🙂
You've been inspiring me to craft for many years now! Love your cricut videos! Their still my favorite!! But I did start crafting with stampin up originally many many moons ago so it's nice to go back to what initially inspired me to paper craft. Anywho, our favorite Christmas tradition is making tamales and hot chocolate with the kids. Then singing happy birthday to Jesus on Christmas morning.
We have so many traditions, and it's hard to keep them up this year since this is the first year that The Teenager (15) is away at school- for most of December! This year, we made an Advent care package with little gifts for each day (today was candy canes, yesterday was room spray to make his dorm smell like pine). We also made his roomie an Advent calendar tree. Because my son is a Christmas addict, I'm also surprising him with a Winter Wonder-room when he gets home.
Subscribed to you on YouTube – can't believe I wasn't already! Thanks for the chance to win. I would *love* to use these on more Christmas projects.
Love the Cozy Christmas set. We always say it's good luck if you get a tree with a bird nest in it. Since we don't buy a real tree anymore we add our own.
Actually, our tradition begins at Thanksgiving, but it relates to Christmas. While the guys are watching football on TV, all the ladies (and sometimes children) work on a Christmas project. In the past we have let the children place their handprints on a t-shirt forming a Christmas tree, have painted on wine classes, made a quilted table runner, glittered and initialed Christmas bulbs, etc. We have done this for about 20 years. It gives us a fellowship time to visit and create a project for Christmas.
We always look for the green pickle hiding on the tree.
My family spends Christmas Eve with all my relatives we draw names on thanksgiving and exchange gifts that night and we also have a potluck. Christmas we spend the day with my parents and siblings.
Our Christmas tradition is to read the Christmas story from Luke before we open up presents. It helps us to center our thoughts on Christ right away.
Love the stamps sets! srwaterman1@gmail.com
Christmas blessings to you and your family
I just love these stamps! Thanks for an opportunity to win them! On Xmas eve my granddaughters come bye and they put together our manager set. My oldest is going on 16 and the younger is just 2 so we love this event. They unwrap all the many pieces taking turns and of course everyone wants to get the baby Jesus!! Then we go to church and come home to a yummy feast. I always make reindeer food so this will be the youngest's first time so the other ones are going to help her put ot out! It creates a great memory!
Hi Robyn: You are so giving…..would love to win! Our Christmas tradition….Everyone brings a wrapped present then and set them in the middle of the room we give out numbers to each person that brought a gift, then we put all the numbers in a bowel, then pick a number and you go get a present, the next person to go, gets to pick a present or steal the other persons gift. I think the game is called pick or steal. Lots of fun cause we have a big family. Keep up the good work and many blessings to you and yours. Anna

Hello Robin .Our tradition maybe sound silly but every year we put a blank paper in the the refrigerator door saying Mom,Dad And Son , we write what we want for Christmas only choose on item put it fun because we don t really what each another g going to get .
Hi Robyn,
I just LOVE stamps and these are great! Our favorite family traditions is making gifts for our family and trading gifts on Christmas Eve. We really enjoy it.
One of my favorite family traditions is baking day. We make 100 coffee cakes (swedish tea rings). My 97 year old grandmother started this like 63 years ago. She made 2 for Christmas breakfast. She still makes the trip to my house (1 1/2 hours away) to help make these. We give these out to family and friends. People stop in all day to help or watch. It is great fun.

These are both beautiful sets! When our kids where little I relized on Christmas eve we have the Christmas Elf drops off a present on our front porch. It's always a game that everyone can play, be it a video game, board game that we all get together to play! Even as big kids now they still want to be home on Christmas eve so they don't miss the Christmas Elf! So adorable. PS we have a neighbor help us out and they sprinkle carrot bits and deer foot prints our the the yard.

Hi Robyn and Happy Holidays to you and your family. My favorite new tradition is making handprint ornaments for my grandson and giving them to his parents and grandparents. So much fun and fun to look back and see how much he's grown.
Our favorite activity is spending Christmas with all the family. We usually gather at my Sister's house on Christmas eve and celebrate Christmas with everyone there. It's also a time to remember our loved ones who are no longer with us and now in Heaven with Jesus!
Both mine and his baby family get together and have big huge jeans kids open and hand out gift. We eat steak shrimp crab legs 🙂

Beautiful Christmas Stamp Sets. We look forward in going to our annual Christmas Eve service at our church. Beautiful music with candle lights and an inspiration message from our pastor.
Choosing one is hard because we have a few, but here is one of my favorites. Christmas scavenger hunt for the most wanted gift. I have done it every year since my son was 4. He is now 20 and he still likes doing it! LOL My daughter who is 12 LOVES it too! The most difficult part is coming up with the rhyming clues (Thank god for Google & Pinterest). But we have fun running all over the house. 🙂 Thanks for the chance – Laura Woods
We have Christmas breakfast with our extended family and play games and watch movies all day.
I love these stamps!! Our family gets together on Christmas morning in our pjs and we open presents starting from the youngest to the oldest, we then have breakfast and watch Christmas movies all day.

I love your giveaways even though I haven't won yet.
We don't have a lot of traditions besides making cookies for santa and making treats for the neighbors, so it will be fun to read about everyone else's traditions too!

Already a you tube subscriber, love your videos! We don't have any traditions so I can't offer you anything new. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Merry Christmas to you, too!!
I subscribed to your you tube channel. Oh what fun!!!!
Yay Lori!!! You are in for 2 entries!!
A new tradition in our household since our children are grown, is for my husband and I to watch the classic Christmas shows. We also enjoy attending the services our church provides that day.
That is a GOOD one! Those are my favorite shows!
Merry Christmas. Such cute sets. I love Christmas stamps. Our two kiddos are now out of the house so my husband and I are starting new traditions. Not sure one hundred percent what they will be yet. Fun trying new things. One tradition we used to have was on Christmas eve. we would open our gifts to each other. Before that we would have pizza, hot chocolate, and I always made a lamb cake and we would sing happy birthday to Jesus. After eating, my husband would read the story of Jesus birth (as they got older, he would include other passages of the Bible that pertained to that time) We would discuss it and pray, thanking Jesus for coming down to Earth, etc. Then we would open gifts. Our kids now: one is in a different state, and the other is newly married.
I love it Lori!! We have a similar tradition of making pizza!
Getting together with family is my favorite and most important to me tradition.
Definitely the most important!!
We put on our jammies, pile up in the car with hot cocoa, and ride around looking at the Christmas lights! Merry Christmas, Robyn!
Oh Amy! I love it!!!
Merry Christmas to you, too!!
Our favorite Christmas tradition is to have a Fondue Dinner and then chocolate fondue for dessert.
That's a GREAT tradition!! I might have to borrow it!
We bake a cake for Jesus' Birthday and sing Happy Birthday to Him on Christmas Day!
Love Tiffanie!
One of our favorite traditions is when we set up our Nativity scene we always remove Baby Jesus and then on Christmas morning the first thing done before gifts or stockings or anything is for the youngest present to place Baby Jesus in the manager and we sing Happy Birthday to Him and praise His Glory.
I love that tradition Becky!! Thanks for sharing!
