During this time of year, we all give more thought to the traditions that are passed down to the next generations. My family is no different. Some of ours are simple and slightly odd (maybe) but they are fun:
And some new ones:
But in all of that, the most important thing is this...
Quality time with those we love.
No matter what the traditions are, or where they take us, we spend time with family and loved ones. To me, that is the whole point of this season. The hospitality, the generosity, the warm and fuzzy feelings we all get. The memories are what I remember from growing up, not the gifts.

Helping Grandma decorate her tree and making candy or cookies
Go look at Christmas lights
Buy an ornament for the youngest
Make a fun egg omelet for Christmas morning, and whomever gets the walnut is the first to open gifts
And some new ones:
Gingerbread houses
Town Square lighting
Christmas at The Heights (our church has an amazingly fun and great celebration!)
Cookie Exchange
But in all of that, the most important thing is this...

What are your family traditions? Have you started any new ones after getting married, and having children? Please share them, I might just incorporate them next year!
In His Hands,
