Christmas Traditions

Christmas is coming up right? Of course! Only a few more days! My family is all about traditions when it comes to the holiday season! We have some standard traditions, like new Christmas Eve Pajamas, but we have some that most people don't.
We put up the Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving, and set up all the decorations.
Secret Santa is always a favorite project!
We read a different Christmas story every night.
On Christmas eve, we always go to my grandma's house for a Christmas Eve Breakfast-Dinner. There are great memories with the Christmas Eve Breakfast-Dinner!
Christmas Eve morning, we track Santa!
Christmas morning, we get up around 6 or 7, and run downstairs, trying to get into the presents... nope! We have to eat breakfast first, and do the dishes! Great stuff right? We do get the dishes done fast, and it gets us a lot more excited for our presents... but it is agonizing.
We always go over to my grandma's house, and open presents, and have a delicious dinner, and just have quality family time.
On December 26th, we take down all the Christmas stuff. My birthday is December 27th, so we take down Christmas, so that Christmas and my birthday are completely separate.
