When I was young starting around 3 I would go to this wooded area with my grandfather & help him pick out a tree . He made me feel really important each year by telling me that he could never pick out one as pretty as I always picked out ,& how glad he was I would come & help him with this very important job.
 
By the time we got home my grandmother had baked my favorite pie ( CHERRY ) We ate some & of course I got to bring the rest home .I grew up 2 yards away from my dads parents & every single day I was at THEIR HOUSE HELPING THEM !!!!! Such a simple little gesture but it was a big deal to me as a child .

I also remember cutting/picking out a Christmas tree at our farm...I would make paper chains...
I remember lots and lots of family...uncles, aunts, cousins at my grandmothers for Christmas eve supper.
Now I have made traditions with own family...Christmas Eve church services, light meal...and the Christmas Story stays on the tv all night long....Santa comes, stocking and all (yes, even for my half grown kids).... Santa hides a pickle in the tree and the one that finds it gets "cash" (one year there was a major display of "naughtiness" and thought I was going to have to retire the darn thing)
The Boy hasn't been home since August...made it home last night...so I am "nesting" which is the most fav thing I know to do right now.

My Christmas tradition that I've been doing since I was in my early 20's is to watch the 24 hour Christmas Story marathon on TBS. I introduced it to my hubs and now my kiddos look forward to it every year. We put it on every TV and leave it on all night.

I received this white pair of go go boots!!!! I danced until I had blisters! I was under 5 and knew Santa had brought them just for me.
 
We were poor so our stockings always had oranges and nuts in them.
 
The beauty and fascinating thought that I could go to sleep and awake to gifts by the tree and the cookies were gone always amazed me.
 
Christmas always facinated me no matter how broke my mom was we had Christmas.
 
As a grown woman she shared with me that she borrowed from a small life insurance policy just to make sure her babies were happy.
 
Magical time of the year even now but this time I'm blessed and understand what it feels like to be broke etc... So I always feed, donate and play Santa for a family I know in need!
 
If I can make someone's life magical for a small bit so be it!

The year we got our swing set. Santa had it assembled in our living room in front of the tree. Imagine our delight in finding it Christmas morning. Now I think often about my dad coming in off a double shift quietly putting it all together for us while mom helped and kept the coffee going. They saved for months to get it for us, then stayed up all night putting it together knowing he would have to take it all apart and put it back up outside. (He did that on Christmas Day before he ever got a nap!)

Getting the Sears Christmas catalog
 
@tb505:
 
this is so funny...I was just telling my daughter the other day how it was a very big deal to get the Sears Christmas catalog! I would study it...read it from cover to cover.
Do you remember the smell of new toys?...especially dolls.
