Family Christmas pajamas: Shoddy Goods 076
2Yep, we do the family Christmas pajamas. We also do stockings for the whole family. Heading down the stairs together, and then spending a little time poking through the little gifts, obligatory orange, and random candies while we’re still waking up with the cup of coffee is essential. Or I thought it was, until I found out my wife’s family skips the whole deal and jumps right to the presents. What!?
What holiday traditions to you indulge in, and which do you avoid?

When one of my kids was 4, she asked Santa for a magic wand so she could have donuts any time she wanted. Well, she didn’t get a magic wand, but Santa left her fresh donuts on Christmas morning. That started our tradition of Christmas donuts. We already have them ordered for this year, scheduled to be picked up at 2pm on Christmas Eve. It’s been almost 10 years now that we’ve done this
We do cinnamon rolls and hot cocoa before
presents.
This started as a way to keep the kids out of the living room until daddy was awake and dressed. “If you don’t smell the coca & cinnamon then you don’t come downstairs yet!” Gave us time to roll in any ‘big’ gifts and deal with the furry kid’s needs before the big event started. They still expect cinnamon rolls and hot coca before presents are passed around.
