We sure know how to celebrate the Holidays!

Check out these holiday traditions from King Innovation Employees….and be sure to leave us a comment below with your favorite way to celebrate this time of year!

My sister and I exchange books every year with a little note written in the front cover.  It makes for a great collection, and it’s always fun to look back at the notes in books from years past.

I loved when my dad and I used to stay up all night long on Christmas Eve, cooking and listen to Christmas carols.

In my Polish family, we don’t eat any meat on Christmas Eve.  Instead, we make carp, twelve side dishes, bread, and a plum drink.  At the table, there is always an extra plate made and an open chair so that any visitors will be welcome!

We hide a pickle ornament in the tree.  Everyone searches for the hidden pickle, and the one who finds it first gets an extra gift!

My sister and I make hot chocolate to go, put the kids in their pajamas, and get in the car to drive through neighboring subdivisions and look at Christmas lights and decorations.  One year we got lost and kept driving in circles…we were laughing hysterically as we kept driving past the same lights!

We anonymously contribute gifts to share with those who are less fortunate.  I know that I am helping to make Christmas special for a child that might otherwise be forgotten.

My sisters and I all spend a day together baking cookies that we share throughout the season with special friends.

Making a gingerbread house with my grand-daughter and grandson each year is my favorite tradition.

My husband and I live in Kansas City, so we are always traveling for the holidays.  On the night before we leave to head out of town, I cook a nice meal and we watch Christmas Vacation and open our presents to one another.  A nice relaxing evening before we head out of town for the hectic holiday fun of visiting both of our families in St. Louis.
