Holiday Traditions

Every year on Christmas Eve, since the year he was born, my husband and his siblings open a single present  – each person receives a small box containing a special, significant ornament. It’s a family custom that has been passed down from multiple generations and Gap recently paid witness to our newly adapted tradition for their Styld.By holiday campaign. Quincy is now old enough to appreciate our ever growing collection of eclectic ornaments, which makes decorating the Christmas tree so exciting and memorable. We got him an adorable alligator ornament this year, which we hope will remind him of our trip to New Orleans this fall. Are there any holiday traditions that your family has carried on?
