Traditions?

Can you call them traditions if you've only done them one year? I guess that's kind of like a "First Annual...(name your event)." Well, traditions or not, here are some of the things we enjoyed as part of our Christmas celebration this year:

-decorating the house Thanksgiving weekend, complete with icicle lights outside (the first year we've ever really had an outside of our own to decorate!)
-cookies & egg nog after we decorated the tree (I remember doing this when I was a kid)
-making a paper snowflake and a special treat (allergen-free brownies this year) to celebrate the first snowfall
-making cookies
-reading Christmas books, especially about the biblical Christmas story
-singing Christmas carols to Benjamin at bedtime
-buying a special ornament for Benjamin (maybe having a different "theme" for each child?)
-having a family picture taken
-sending Christmas cards and an update letter
-having Christmas pj's (just Benjamin)
-reading part of the Christmas story outloud to Benjamin each day in the week leading up to Christmas
-giving to a family in need
-inviting someone to our home who needed a family for Christmas
-attending a Christmas Eve service
-opening our stockings when Benjamin woke up (6:30am! And we thought we'd be exempt this year!)
-eating Kiersten's family's traditional Christmas pastry at breakfast
-reading the Christmas story (from Benjamin's Bible this year) and acting it out with our cloth nativity set
-opening presents one at a time, in rotation
-eating a traditional Christmas dinner (yum!)
-watching Christmas movies
