We celebrated Max's birthday, so we didn't do anything particularly Christmasy besides read a Christmas book at bedtime. We read Merry Christmas Mom and Dad by Mercer Mayer. I had this book as a kid, as well as the read-along cassette tape. Consequently, it's one of my favorite Christmas kid's books. Nostalgia makes the season brighter, wouldn't you say? I found the tape when I was home a few months ago and could remember every inflection in the reader's voice, every sound affect, and every melody. At the end of the tape, there is a song with the lyrics, "Merry Christmas Mom and Dad. This Christmas I'll remember. How you made me feel glad. Merry Christmas Mom and Dad." I assume that Max won't display this sentiment for awhile considering he is only one, but I still like to start the traditions early... you know, for the nostalgia.
Christmas Movie (kinda): Holiday Inn
