The “Christmas Gift” Tradition—Linda Hilburn Throughout the years, we have enjoyed “getting” each other’s “Christmas gift” on Christmas Day. The tradition is that the first one to say “Christmas gift” to another family member “gets” or wins out over the other person. Jessie says that they never gave gifts, just tried to be the first one to say this greeting”. We have practiced this with the 5 younger sisters down through the years. Our family extended this to include Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve and New Years Day. For years I didn’t know anyone else practiced this tradition, but then a co-worker said that her Daddy and the neighbor would sit up all night long to try to be the first one to “get” the other ones Christmas gift! We never carried it that far, but if you get a call on Christmas morning, be quick with “Christmas gift” or you may have just been taken! |
