Some of our favorite Christmas traditions are always having a real Christmas tree that we go and cut down ourselves, we decorate it altogether, going thru each ornament recalling when and where we got each one! It's so much fun! Another tradition is to open a present or two on Christmas eve which is usually Christmas PJ's and a stuffed animal for Chase (just the PJ's for me)! We also love to drive around and look at all the Christmas lights, we are fortunate to live close to a place where several families go into gether and it's like a winter wonderland of lights and nativities, and Santa's! You drive thru a maze, past a lake every square inch decorated it's beautiful!!
However, Advent has become a very special tradition at our house! We started Advent when Chase was about 7 years old. It's a special time that we spend together as a family, reading scripture, praying, and a it's wonderful way to keep ourselves focused on the real meaning of Christmas! I hope along with all our other traditions this will be one that Chase will continue with her family one day! 
What are your favorite Christmas traditions?
