We didn't do so well with the doing something every day to help us spend more time together as a family or think about Christmas more, but we did get in a few things that were lots of fun. One new tradition that we picked up while reading random blogs was to go out and see all the lights in the neighborhood and then proclaim one of them a winner and deliver a prize to them. We had a lot of fun looking at all the houses that did light displays. This is the house I picked. 
The picture doesn't do it justice. It was absolutely beautiful! They had greenery everywhere and the whole yard was in a winter theme. We dubbed it the "Winter Wonderland" house. They even had a projector that made it look like snow was coming down. This is the one the kids all wanted. Again the pictures don't do it justice (I am still learning to take pictures that look decent!) 
It had blow up everything- including a Flying Snoopy and the Grinch. It also had the Manger scence and blow-up's in every window. The guy was out with his dog, so we stopped and asked if we could shake his hand and told him that he was the winner this year from our family, (Mom was out voted!) and gave him a big Symphony bar wrapped up with a bow. He thought that was really great and we had a ton of fun doing it. This is definitely going to become a tradition in our family!
