❄️ Holiday Traditions | Badge of the Month | December 2022

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/52869#Comment_52869I 10000% agree . I grew up in New Jersey (where winter is a real season - snow and all), but my parents moved to South Carolina in the last couple of years. I find it disorienting to see all of the palm trees and grass in December

Our traditions are changing as my oldest daughter and her new husband live 4.5 hours away and my youngest is graduating from college in May. We are trying to make new traditions that will continue with us through this next phase of life. We did start the season off right with a viewing of Christmas Vacation at Thanksgiving!!

There is a movie called Nativity 2 Danger in the Manager starring David Tennant (from Doctor Who) and Marc Wooton that my boys and I watch without fail every year. Its about a school teacher that gets dragged across the the UK with the principal's crazy nephew and all the kids to perform in a Christmas concert. Mr Poppy is hilarious and there is some great different christmas music performed by the kids too. (There is a Nativity 1 and Nativity 3 but this one is the best!) The other tradition is we put a Santa hat on the top corner of the TV and when a person is on the side of the screen and it looks like they are wearing the hat, we give a cuddle to the person next to us. (It actually is a drinking game but I turned it into a kids game!)

My family and I love to do Stocking Stuffers. We start with the more practical items like pocket tissues, travel shampoo, and gum. But then we also like to find something silly for each person for a good laugh.
When Frozen II came out, my parents got me a little Olaf toy because he says "Samantha?" when he looks in the hole during the movie, and that is my name. Since then, it has been a fun little game to pass the Olaf to another family member, but they don't know which family member gets it until stockings are opened. So now, Pass the Olaf, is part of our stocking stuffers tradition!

It is really hard to pick just one favorite Christmas tradition, because we have a lot of traditions in Colombia… I would say that my favorite one is “Las novenas”, it is a 9 day tradition in which everyday between the 16th and the 24th, you get together with your family or friends every day to perform some prayers, songs and Christmas carols. It is common during these days that in the house that "La Novena" is held, typical Christmas foods are offered such as Natilla, buñuelos and hojuelas.

My favorite tradition is when my little sister goes to sleep waiting for el "Niño Jesús" (a.k.a Santa Claus) to deliver the gifts under the tree

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/53244#Comment_53244I love that you customized stocking stuffers to include your own new tradition! Pass the Olaf sounds like a fun tradition.

Christmas Photos with the cats of course!
