My husband would always make a prop for the gifts Santa brought. One year it was a guy in rock climbing gear scaling a wall in our living room, another time a guy playing video games. As our kids came down the stairs this is what they would see that “Santa” had done. It was so much fun

My best Christmas memory is when my oldest nephew (now 11) came over every Christmas Eve to watch the Santa Tracker with me. We still do it now, and it makes me happy to know he’s still a believer, even if he doesn’t want to admit it. The excitement on his face when Santa enters the United States shows that he still believes.
My most memorable Christmas was years ago when we had 2 little ones and my husband was out off laid from work. We had to buy our kids Christmas stuff at thrift stores . And on Christmas day out came a big box and I was told to open it . It was a used sewing machine to this day I don’t know how he bought it . Can tell you was very well used :).
Spending Christmas Eve w/ my grandparents was also the best part of the holiday 🙂
My best Christmas memory was when we got our first puppy.
opening christmas gifts with my cousins at my aunt’s house on christmas day.
One of our family’s gifts to my grandmother was very small so we wrapped it 10 different times and had everyone open it once with riddles for the identity of the next person until it got back to her. It was so much fun.
My favorite Christmas memories are probably Christmas Eve Day. That is when my cousin had his birthday, and every year we would go to Chuck E Cheese. After we would get home, I would usually get to open my Christmas pj’s, and then we would go look at Christmas lights. It is one of the fondest Christmas traditions I have and I am seriously debating on taking my daughter there to play this year on Christmas Eve!
Every Christmas with my girls. I love seeing how excited they get during the season and then how happy they are on Christmas morning. This year we are doing something different. We will be spending the day with my daughter’s softball team giving food to the homeless. I think this will be something we always remember forever. Thank you!
On Christmas Eve my grandma has a party, and the family gets to meet up and exchange presents. My grandma makes party food and homemade candy too.
My best memory is when my parents would jingle bells out side to make us think Santa was near! 🙂

My favorite Christmas memory is my first year ( actually 2nd) as a mommy,our daughter Ellie was 15 months old and I had just given birth to our second child ( Joshua) on Dec 20th. I had the love of my life (hubby Shawn) and our two children, all were healthy and happy life does not get much better than that!
My best Christmas memory was as kids when my entire family opened gifts and celebrated at my Grandma’s .
Years ago before I was married my family had a hard Christmas it seemed like we were going to lose it all. Needless to say that we did not have money to give each other presents. However, my brother applied for a credit card at the job he worked at and with it and bought gifts for each one of us so that we all had a little something to open. We were surprised and shocked at what he did and oh so grateful. But not for what was under the tree but for having such a great brother and family that pulled together when things were tough.
Every Christmas is special to me. Opening up presents and spending time with my family. I love it and look forward to it.

My best Christmas memories are those from when I was a kid. My brother and I would get up around 4am and sneak downstairs to check out what we got (some of our presents were unwrapped).

is why she wouldn’t let me in the locked bedroom. Then, Christmas came and there was this big box. I picked it up and started carrying it to my dad. But, they said to look at the label.
