Hi Santa, Just like the rest of my family, I'm Disney obsessed and can't wait to find Disney Infinity under the tree! I promise that it won't stop me from practicing baseball with my Dad. Make sure you tell Dad that! Love, The Dude (5 years old)
Dear Santa, All I want for Christmas is a tricylce to ride around the neighborhood. I know I'm in my terrible 2's and all but I promise to go easy on Mom! Love, Jake (2 years old) Dear Santa, I'm a super sweet girl who just loves cuddling baby dolls right now. After ripping the American Girl catalog out of my mama's hands, I decided that I need a Bitty Baby! Love, Lil Lady Bean (18 months old)

Carly Walko, Thirty Something Fashion Even at ages 31, 34 and 36 my sisters and I spend Christmas Eve in matching pajamas gifted to us by our mother. It is a silly tradition, but changing from our stylish looks and getting cozy and comfortable is something my sisters and I look forward to every year. I plan to continue this tradition by gifting my little guys matching jammy sets every Christmas eve (loving the Hanna Andersson sleepwear)....hopefully it continues for generations to come. Happy Holidays to all!
Nicole Feliciano, Momtrends We have a local farm near our house in rural Connecticut. In October when we get our pumpkin from the patch, we take ribbons and string and pick out our Christmas tree. We use the string and ribbons to "tag" the tree and make it our own. Then the Saturday after Thanksgiving we head to the farm to and chop down our tree to bring if from the country to the city. It's a sweet way to combine our two worlds!
Jackie Fogartie, Jackie Fogartie Events I borrowed my holiday tradition from my mother-in-law. They make "Monkey Bread" or "Pull Apart" Bread every Christmas morning. It's a yummy cinnamon sugar doughy bread that is amazing. I, of course, add mimosas with raspberries for Christmas color!
Jill Seiman, Glamamom One of my favorite holiday traditions is listening to A Christmas Gift for You From Phil Spector while trimming the tree!
