Christmas Traditions

Warning, this post is interactive!

I was asked to share some of my Christmas traditions at our next Relief Society evening and it got me thinking about the many traditions from growing up as well as the new traditions of having my own family. What are your favorite (and least favorite) holiday traditions?

Lauren Green said...: There are many, many Christmas traditions that I love, but here are three of my favorites: 1. One of my uncles has a very deep, soothing voice and when I was a kid we all got together on Christmas eve and listened to him read the Christmas story out of the Bible. 2. Buying a tree right after Thanksgiving and spending an evening as a family decorating it while watching a Christmas movie. 3. Having a big Christmas eve dinner and then just having leftovers on Christmas night - that way all the stress of getting a nice meal together is on Christmas eve and then Christmas day is all about opening gifts, relaxing, and spending quality family time :); 10:39 AM

Dyanna Stephens said...: We would always open one present on Christmas eve and it was always pajamas to wear that night. I hated it as a kid, but as I look back, I love how predictable it was to know that I would get that one thing every year no matter how much we were struggling.

Our family would also drive around town to look at Christmas lights, not just Christmas Tree lane Christmas lights, but the different lights that everyone would set up.; 10:04 AM

The Reason for it all

We...solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children.

All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.

...

The first commandment that God gave to Adam and Eve pertained to their potential for parenthood as husband and wife. We declare that God’s commandment for His children to multiply and replenish the earth remains in force. We further declare that God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife.

...

Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children. “Children are an heritage of the Lord” (Psalms 127:3). Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, to teach them to love and serve one another, to observe the commandments of God and to be law-abiding citizens wherever they live. Husbands and wives—mothers and fathers—will be held accountable before God for the discharge of these obligations.

The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners.
