Christmas Traditions
W
e reached out to you, in Auburn, Opelika and Lee County, and asked what your favorite traditions are at Christmas. Of course, there are the normal ones, like decorating the Christmas tree, wearing Christmas pajamas and setting out cookies and milk for Santa. But, for some of you, you have some pretty weird traditions. And some of you have traditions that give back to others.
Sarah Cambron Dorough:
We have had a tradition in our family for years called the “Chimney”. Every Christmas we have huge boxes wrapped in brick wrapping paper which makes a fake chimney. All family members put presents in the chimney and Christmas night after dinner we all sit together and pass out presents from the chimney.
Sara Gottlieb Bragdon:
We have Christmas Butterflies because my kids are TERRIFIED of the idea of someone coming into their house when they’re asleep.
Amanda Michelle Brogdon:
We do not buy items for stockings until Christmas Eve. We will go to Walgreens, Dollar Tree or Dollar General. We draw names to see who we shop for. We shop and hide from each other in the store. There is a $20 limit. We take turns on Christmas Day opening our stockings and try to guess who bought for us.
