My Favorite Untraditional-traditions:
- Christmas Morning Pajama Party - We stay in our pajamas Christmas morning and go to Billy and Mary's house. No one ven cares if you don't have make up on. I love getting to see the kid's new found treasures from Santa. The funnest part is the mad chaos when it comes time to pass out gifts. There are NO rules; you don't even have to take turns opening gifts!
- December 26th Christmas - We ended up not having time to open gifts with my parents on Christmas. At first we were a bit saddened by the lack of time, but now it has become the highlight of the week. When you go to bed on Christmas Night, you know that you still have one more day of magic! It makes the Season last just one extra day and that is priceless!
- Ole' Timey Cokes - At lunch on December 26th with my parents, ee drink coke out of the ole' timey coke bottles. You know, the old glass bottles!! I love buying the cokes a few weeks ahead of time and looking forward to Christmas Dinner everytime I see the bottles sitting there waiting to be drank!
- Pearl Christmas Lights - Daniel and I have these beautiful white light on our tree. They aren't your typical clear Christmas lights; rather, they look more like a pearl. I love seeing the lights glow at night time during the Holiday Season!
- Time off with Daniel - Daniel and I have been fortunate enough to spend the weeks before and after Christmas together since we've been married. We always buy a "toy" to play with during our vacation. It's usually a video game or board game. This year we are planning on getting Scene It! for Xbox 360!
- Watching Corny Christmas Chick Flicks that come on ABC Family's 25 Day to Christmas Countdown - The best one this year has been "Holiday In Handcuffs" with Melissa Joan Hart and Mario Lopez in it.

Jared and I just open our presents whenever we feel like, no special day or tradition! This year it was a couple of weeks before Christmas. Also, I have "Holiday in Handcuffs" on dvr and have started watching it, but haven't finished it yet.
The PJ's on Christmas Day have become one of my favorites. So comfy and cozy and true, no one cares what we look like!
of course, the pj's on Christmas Day. At my parents house, after everyone opens their presents (which is mass chaos) someone always starts a wrapping paper war. You will find little balls of wrapping paper for weeks after Christmas. I think Josh got hit in the eye one year! It is fun!
