What are your favourite Christmas traditions?

Nov 25, 2011 | Blog

My gorgeous boys have come up with an awesome idea for Jimmy James in the lead up to Christmas.

This has started a list as well as me heading to Google and the library.

The first thing we need to do is find 24 random Christmas traditions, preferably Australian ones.

So far, our list includes:

  1. Santa
  2. Carols by Candlelight
  3. Candy Canes
  4. Presents
  5. Decorations
  6. Christmas Tree
  7. Advent Candles
  8. Christmas Cards
  9. Kris Kringle
  10. Bon Bons

We need another 14. Can you help us? What are some of your favourite Christmas traditions?
