This is probably my favorite time of the year. I love the cooler weather, winter break, friends and family all home, it's the best!
Do you have any special traditions that you and/or your family/friends do?
I guess I can start it off.
Every year, my family gets a christmas tree. We used to just pick one up at a lot that was around where we lived. But a few years ago we started something new and went up north a little ways to a christmas tree farm to pick and cut down our own. It's turned into usually some of the rest of our family coming up as well (aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, etc) to get a tree with us. It's always really festive and a good time.
Another thing that I wouldn't call as much of a tradition, just something that I enjoy.. my sister, brother and I always go out and look for presents for our parents together. It's gotten more fun now that we have all grown up a bit more. We don't get to see my brother as much since he is away at college, and because of our different schedules my sister and I don't hang out too much either. So it's nice to get together with everyone and go out around the holidays.
Anybody else?
