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.

This tradition involves an important reminder: We give Jesus gifts, too! Families will look forward to reading their gifts from year to year.
