Parents Talk: What Are Your Holiday Traditions?

Share your family's traditions with us.

We all remember some holiday traditions from when we were kids. 

When I was a kid, one of my favorites was arguing with my brothers about who got to hang the beloved ornament on the tree. The "Mouse House," as we called it, was special because inside a mushroom was a family of mice, each doing their own thing. We would stick a lightbulb inside the house from a string of lights so you could see what was going on inside.

I know, I know, that sounds pretty lame. But it's just one of those things that sticks with me. With all that's going on in the world right now, sometimes it's nice to take a break and think about memories that are simple and happy.

We want to know: What are those traditions that just "stick with you?" 

Did your Grandma make you an ugly sweater every year that you were forced to wear? Do you buy your kids matching Christmas jammies? Is there one food item that just makes the holidays complete for you? We'd love to hear about it in the comments below.
