Traditions…oh, so many I could name. I am a bit of a traditionalist, but I also appreciate variety. I love everything about Christmas, but there is one thing that brings the old and new together like nothing else.

I love the tradition of watching Christmas movies! Of course, I used to watch Christmas movies all year long. Watching Christmas specials, both old and new. And now, watching Hallmark Christmas movies! Who can grow tired of those movies overflowing with Balsam Hill trees, gorgeous decor, and a plot that fills you with goodwill and romance!?

My favorites? In no particular order:

    I am with you Ruth. The tradition of watching Christmas movies is high on the list. I have so many on the pvr it really now has movie to when i see the title I have to remember what it is about and love it. Always got to make room for the new ones. After that I think my favourite christmas tradition is Christmas Pj’s we always get pj’s or lounge wear at Christmas. We usually open them on Christmas Eve. The last few year our family has gotten into matching pj’s. Also like you there are so many. That is not even counting the decorations that come out every year or baking.
