Hey everyone - my young family and I are looking for some new holiday traditions. My husband and I have a 3 year old and need ideas on how to spend Christmas day. We won't be traveling to visit our family this year so other than opening gifts we need some ideas. (special meal, breakfast, movie, etc) Thanks so much!

Go to a movie there's always great kid movies out right now, then come home and play games with the 3 yr old. Then let him decide what he wants for dinner and let him help you make it, they always eat better if it's something they've helped to make.
