1. Do you have any special Christmas traditions? If so, what are they? Or tell us about your favorite Christmas traditon.
When my sister and I were little, we'd always exchange our presents to each other on Christmas Eve. My mom started this tradition when we were very young and I can't remember a time when we didn't do it. It's a tradition that has continued even now that we're grown up and out on our own. I find I put a lot of time and thought into finding a really special Christmas Eve gift for my sister. Also, our family always goes to Christmas Eve service together whenever we can. Another tradition we have is our advent calendar. My mother made it years ago--it's a Christmas tree and each day you put on a new ornament as Christmas approaches. Again, I can't remember a time in my life when we didn't have the calendar. I also remember fighting with my sister over who got the even and the odd days growing up.
2. When it comes to open presents, when do you do open them--Christmas morning or Christmas Eve?
As I said before, my sister and I open one present from each other on Christmas Eve. In our family, traditionally, we'd get up on Christmas morning, see what Santa brought and then have a big breakfast. We'd then sit down and take turns opening presents. My dad would distribute them and then we'd take turns opening them.
3. How does your family open presents--all at once or in some type of more organized fashion?
More organized fashion
4. Do you prefer using wrapping paper or gift bags?
I am all about the gift bag, but that's mainly because I have yet to perfectly wrap anything in my life. Also, gift bags are the gift that keeps on giving--I definitely re-gift the gift bags.
