We used to have many Christmas traditions, but now not so much as everyone grows up and has their own families etc. But we always used to go to my Grandparents on my dad's side for Christmas Eve, to celebrate with all our relatives on his side, and then Christmas morning, we celebrated with everyone from my mom's side of the family.
On Christmas morning, we competed with our cousins to be the first to call and wake up our grandparents, because that was whose house they would go to first, and we always won. After opening the presents Santa left under the tree and all the gifts we all had for each other, we always went out to breakfast at this nice hotel we had in our town called the Camelot that was built to look like a castle, which I always thought made us special!
There were plenty more, but we really don't do any of those anymore. All the kids are grown with their own kids now, and seems like everyone is starting traditions of their own that are different from the ones I grew up with. Guess they have to start somewhere!
Nowadays, one of the few things we do every year is rent a limo about a week before Christmas and jam as many of our family members as they will allow into it and take it on a tour of Christmas light displays around town. The kids love it and so do the old folks.
My mother has mostly taken over the role my grandmothers played in my childhood, and is always the host for most of the holiday dinners and gatherings. I think keeping the traditions is important to her, and she really puts a lot of effort into everything. Family is THE thing to her, I think.
I didn't ever get married or have children, so without a new family of my own, I don't get as involved as my mom would like probably. My sister and brother though have a whole slew of kids between them, so that kind of makes up for my not having any!
I hope everyone tries to keep their family traditions alive as much as they can! If you don't, you'll surely miss them when you get old! But at least you'll still have your memories!
