Christmas Eve 2010
In my family, we opened no presents until Christmas day! However, in Dave's family, one of Santa's elves made an early delivery of a small gift that could be opened on Christmas Eve. Usually it was a new ornament for the Christmas tree. We decided to carry on the tradition with our little family. On Christmas Eve night, we go out and take a look at the Christmas lights and decorations around town. When we return home, the kids find that an elf has left them a surprise. An ornament (marking a milestone from the past year or favorite character) and new pajamas. The pajamas are a reminder they should hop into bed and get to sleep!
What are your Christmas traditions?

We have always opened one present on Christmas Eve, too.
