5. Open a Christmas Box
Of the more recent Christmas Eve traditions, this one is wildly popular. On December 24th, have family members open a box filled with matching PJs, snacks, small gifts, a new Christmas video, and so on.
6. Prepare a Bed for Baby Jesus
Make a special manger to place beneath your family’s Christmas tree. Then discuss ways you can invite Jesus into your home all year long.
7. Hang a White Stocking
This tradition involves an important reminder: We give Jesus gifts, too! Families will look forward to reading their gifts from year to year.
8. Enjoy Christmas Foods
Make holiday snacks that actually look like Christmas! For example, check out this chocolate, snow-covered pinecone you can actually sink your teeth into.
