Most of us have some Christmas traditions that we either haven't thought about yet but we're about to or we're already gearing up to certain food, certain people make that special dish.

We have a couple of those. Christmas traditions around who shows up when and where do we do this and how do we do this and the travel and just those things that have become traditions.

And then as time changes, some of those things kind of get interrupted but we just, you know, you love the Christmas traditions.

I know we do. So one of our kids actually started is that the week before Christmas, we have three children, two boys and our youngest Ali and the kids would sneak into one another's rooms and take things and wrap them and put them under the tree.

Did your kids do this? It's like, oh my goodness, I have one at this fact it is the one I have.

Anyway, so then the boys one year took this to a whole new level. So this is a picture of Ali opening her portrait that's been hanging in the dining room for 10 years.

And she opened it, she's like, I've seen that before for 10 years. Anyway, so you have your own Christmas traditions as her couple that you can steal.

Just wait a few, maybe a couple of years and you can claim them as your own. And then I don't know if you, you know, if they raise your hand or admit this, this is a little bit dark.

Do you have any day after like the day after Christmas traditions? We had one for a long time and some of you do this and as I just will admit, I never got this.

But for years, the women, the girls, you know, as we would gather for Christmas, the day after Christmas, they would go to the mall.

I know, I'm like, why are we doing it anyway? And so, and it was kind of if they were together and they'd have coffee and they would return gifts, right?

And exchange gifts, you know, which, you know, I get that. And then online shopping came along and took all the fun out of that. So now here's what we do.

We just gather around the day after Christmas and we print return labels. It's so much fun and go look for original packaging and I go out in the garage and take all those flat boxes and put them back together and put tape on them.

So we exchange everything, not exactly, but anyway, so we, we love Christmas. I mean, we so love Christmas and we start early. In fact, every year seems like we started a little bit earlier and earlier and I'm off for that sort of love Christmas.

But when it's over, it's over. And I hate to even bring that up because we're just getting started. But, you know, so the day after Christmas, we're ready to get back to normal.

Now, others, if you know, it's like go to January 1st, 12 days of Christmas, all that sort of stuff. So it's all, you know, everybody has their thing. There's no right or wrong. But that's kind of our thing. We are just so ready to get back to normal.
