I love traditions and hope our family establishes many of our own. As a kid we
#3 Drove around Joppatowne after our church's Christmas Eve service to look at all the lights and luminaries. What a fun time together as a family, enjoying the decorated neighborhoods.
#4 Always put out milk and cookies for Santa, even though we KNEW Santa was our dad. And "Santa" always wrote us a note of thanks in return.
#5 Went to the Nutcracker with Granny. Usually, it was just me, because Sacha couldn't sit still. I got all dressed up, Granny would pick me up, and we'd drive into the city. I can still remember how magical it was sitting in those red velvet seats, watching the dancers, hearing the orchestra and feeling like there was nothing quite as amazing.

How fun! How old were you when you'd go? Chuckling at the comment about Sacha not sitting still. :o)
I really think this started when I was in elementary school, so maybe 5 or 6. And we did until I was in middle school (and wished we had've done it even longer!!!).
