Every Christmas the family gets together for a Christmas feast, and to avoid any one family from having to pay for all the groceries, we pool moeny from all the siblings and parents then give that money to the person who is holding the dinner at their house that year – to offset their grocery costs. Since we rotat where we hold the dinner, everyone gets a fair shot at cooking, without having to pass because they can't afford the cost.

My favorite family tradition is buying new pajamas for the kids for Christmas. They unwrap them on Christmas Eve and everyone looks great in the pictures we take on Christmas morning. Now…if only I could make some similar arrangement for my hair and make up on Christmas morning, then I would look great in the pictures too!

Have a cookie decorating party! You make (lots of) sugar cookies and have everyone coming bring one type of decoration…sprinkles, dots, gel frosting, glaze, sugars, etc. Great for when you have plenty of kids coming or mom/child play dates.

Create an amazing (holi) day!

Thanks! It's just going to be one of those lean years, I'm afraid. These tips will help keep me in the spirit though!

I like doing a movie night. Pick a classic, pop some corn and invite a few friends over.

Cheers!

Fabulous ideas!

I just did the board game night a couple weeks ago. I had the food, all the girls brought the wine. It ended up being the longest game of Trivial Pursuit…ever.
