Since it’s Christmas Eve and all, I’m taking a break from the usual geekery that goes on here. Today’s Monday Question is: What is your favorite Christmas tradition?
I’ll start with mine. For as long as I can remember, on Christmas Eve, my mom took my sister and I on a drive to look at the lights on the houses. It’s simple, but it’s a great memory. My wife and I have done this now every year since we’ve been married.
What’s yours?
We’d stay up all night and go to midnight mass, when we got home after 1:30 AM we were allowed to open our stockings before going to bed. The rest had to wait until after we woke up. That was always the most exciting for me.
Cool tradition I should put it in my life
