It's always fun to hear family traditions of habits for the holidays. Since Bethany and I moved to Texas we rarely celebrate Christmas. Having 70 degree weather in December sucks the feeling right out of us.
There's not really a place to cut down your own tree either here.
So looking forward to moving to Minnesota and having Christmas with her family. They will hand out gifts and before you open it you have to say something nice or a personal memory from the current year about the one giving you the present. It's fun, being an only child my holidays were always so quiet. I love how close and how big her family is.
