    Favorite Christmas tradition is Santa leaving reindeer footprints in white salt on the entrance way at the front door. We were always excited when we left a bowl of salt on the table at the front door because we always thought that no one else would worry about the reindeer. They only thought about leaving cookies & milk for Santa.

    Growing up we would all sit on the stairs and wait for my parents to be ready so we could go downstairs and see what Santa had brought us. My father would make us wait as long as possible by going to the washroom, brushing his teeth, getting dressed and if we tried to hurry him up he would shave.lol. Once he was ready we had to move and let them down first, and boy were they slow. Once down it was Christmas Day. Now when we are all gathered for the holiday we still wait for my dad to take his seat. He knows how to keep us waiting even after all these years. Buy it wouldn’t be Christmas without waiting for him to hand out the gifts. Unfortunately this might be our last year with him in our lives as he is very sick. But someone will take over and do the handing out the gifts in years to come.

    Favourite Christmas tradition…. We have in my family what we call “The Table”.Which was started by my Dad who grew up oldest of 10 kids.So they didn’t have much.My Dad’s philosophy was whatever candy,chocolate,treat,chips,cheezies ect…we could fit on the table the better.He believed all kids should be allowed to indulge and sometimes over indulge at Christmas time.So Christmas eve is when we set up “The Table” for all to eat until their hearts content… 🙂 🙂

    We always do the classic opening up presents on Christmas morning with the family then enjoying a feast of Turkey and fixings. Our tradition is for our loved ones that have passed which would be my mother and grandmother. We would fix them a plate, say a prayer and put it in the fire pit outside our house up north out near the forest. This is so they can enjoy it in spirit wether it be the animals that come and eat it or when it burns in the special fire. My mom use to take me when we would make a plate for my grandmother and now I get to pass down this tradition and teaching to my daughter, for her grandmother. This is one tradition I would like to share. Thanks for the chance Tribute and good luck everyone:)

I continue that tradition with my own kids.
