Christmas is such a special time of year. Even from a young age, I remember having a love for Christmas that caused a warm feeling in my heart just thinking about it.
It’s not because I got lavish gifts. We didn’t have much money and, let’s just say, Santa brought what he could.
So the lasting memories grew from the wonder of the season, the beauty of the scenery, and the warmth created by traditions with family.
Here are some traditions you can do with your family that will create a life-long appreciation for the holiday.

This is one of my favorite Christmas traditions! Each year I get the family a new pair of Christmas jammies that we all wear on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning to open presents.
This year we were fortunate to be given these incredibly cute matching pajamas by Shinesty.
The styles are so cute, the colors are bright and vibrant, and they’re so comfortable I could literally wear them every day!
They have a huge selection of pajamas for adults, kids, and pets. And even dresses, suits, and underwear! So they have literally everything you need to make a new Christmas tradition for your whole family.
