I Tweet I Twat a Christmas Tradition

It's the little things that count, so lately I've been trying to figure out what little traditions we should start for the holidays. It's really the first year that Alexis could potentially remember, so this is the time to figure out what Christmas in our house is going to be about. In the quest for ideas, I asked twitter a question:

Twitter never fails to provide some fantastic answers. Like, a whole lot of fantastic ideas:

(Sorry, but I was too lazy to retype and link all that. Screen prints are for winners.)

Some thoughts:

1. Add in the DMs I received, and there were over 20 people who said that pajamas on Christmas Eve was one of their fondest "little touch" memories. I think we shall have to jump on that bandwagon so our kid isn't the loser who didn't get pajamas.

2. The whole orange in the toe of a stocking idea? Me likey. A lot. Alexis won't eat it (she's a goofus and likes mandarin oranges from a jar, but won't eat fresh citrus anything), but I sure will.

3. Little toys in the kids' rooms to encourage them to stay put a little longer in the morning? That idea makes @trxFOXHOLE's pretty much the smartest parents on the planet.

4. Lots of people mentioned candy in stockings. How much of that was Halloween candy stashed for use by Santa?

5. I need an origami star Christmas tree. Y'all better stay out of my way on December 26th because momma is gonna have to procure a clearance tree and make it happen.

What about you? What little holiday tradition do you remember fondly?
