Original Christmas Classics Anniversary Collection

Traditions. We have a lot of them for Christmas. My mom did a great job with passing down her family’s traditions and I am passing them along to my children.

Christmas Shows- One of my favorite things to do during the holidays is watch all the classic Christmas Specials. I’ve been watching them for over 40 years and hope to pass down the tradition to my children. 

Funny Presents – On Christmas night after we have eaten our dinner, we all get one more gift, a funny present. These are sometimes hard to shop for and sometime are not too funny. Each gift is a low in price and comes with a note to give more leverage to the “funny” gift.

Christmas Lights – Every year we take some homemade cookies and drive around the neighborhoods looking at lights.

Christmas Eve – Every year the kids get to pick one present that is already under the tree and open it.

Night of Lights Trolley Ride – This is a fairly new tradition for us. Christmas Eve we take the trolley ride in St. Augustine, FL to see all the lights set up over the city.

What are some of your traditions?

    I love all of these classics. Rudolph is my all time favorite Christmas cartoon.

  2. OMG. Rudolph is my absolute favorite Christmas TV show. I watch it every year with my kids. Some of our holiday traditions are getting new Christmas PJs every year.

  3. I LOVE these! Growing up, my favorite part of Christmas was the specials. My kids love them now.

  4. Rudolph is such a cute movie! My kids were obsessed with it. We actually had to tell them it was only legal to watch it during December.

  5. I love all of our family Christmas traditions! We watch the Muppets Family Christmas Movie along every single year. It’s also become a tradition to never do our family Christmas on Christmas. We always do it a week or so before Christmas since we travel every year over the holidays! My kids love watching all the Christmas specials you mentioned…just like I watched them when I was growing up!

  6. My kids are getting older and will still make it a point to watch these Christmas classics every year. Some traditions are truly timeless!

  7. I grew up on these classic! Oh the Christmas nostalgia!

  8. These classics are must watch shows for my family every year. We actually just did Frosty yesterday, and tomorrow we’ll be doing Rudolph.

  9. Our biggest tradition is giving my mom some kind of gag gift. My dad used to donit now I do.

  10. this reminded me that we haven’t watched many holiday movies this year. I’m going to put on Frosty tonight while we eat dinner

  11. I love these movies. I enjoyed watching them as a kid and I enjoy watching them with my kids. It is fun to see how movies I watched as a kid entertain us both.

  12. These are such fun collections to own and watch this and every holiday season! Thanks for reminding me of some movies I want to watch with my trio!

  13. I grew up on these movies so I need to rewatch them every year! I usually catch them on TV but it might be nice to own the Blu Ray.

  14. I “made” my kids watch these classic Christmas movies! It was a tradition I could pass on to them from when I was a kid. Love them!

  15. So many of my favorite movies this time of year. Thank you for sharing.

  16. It wouldn’t be Christmas if we didn’t watch them at least once every year, right? I think they’re essential holiday fare.

  17. I just watched Frosty the other night with the kids! Such a classic tradition every year!
