- Merry Christmas, everybody.

Well, almost Christmas.

Close enough.

Merry Christmas.

We here at The Superbookshow love this time of year

and all of the fun holiday traditions

that come along with it.

My favorite family holiday tradition

is when we all put onour Christmas pajamas

and we watch our favorite home videos

from Christmas past, fun, right?

Now enjoy the Superbook show hosts

and their favorite holiday traditions.

(upbeat music)

- Hey, super fans.

It's Josh.

And this is my little sister.

- Deanna.

And we're here to share with you

some of our favorite Christmas traditions.

- So one of the things that we like to do

is go to our church's candlelightservice on Christmas Eve.

Basically, we all come together

and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

And one of the uniquethings that we like to do

as a family is we liketo open our presents up

at 12 midnight Christmas dayinstead of Christmas morning.

It's really fun to justsit around the house

hanging out with each other

and just celebrating thebirth of Jesus Christ,

so that once the clock strikes 12,

we're ready to open presents.

- Hey everyone.

So my favorite Christmastradition is going

to a drive-through light show.

So every year my family and I,

we make hot chocolate and popcorn,

and we drive down to this garden.

And the garden is filled

with a bunch of super pretty lights,

and there's a pathway in the middle

for the cars to drive through.

So we turn our radio to theChristmas music station,

and we just listen to Christmas music

and talk and look atall the gorgeous lights.

And it is just such a fun experience.

It's for sure my absolute favorite

part of the Christmas season.

- Merry Christmas, everyone, it's Sophia.

One of my favorite Christmas traditions

is traveling to my Sitty's house,

which means grandma in Arabic.

- Merry Christmas, everyone.

- And waking up on Christmas morning

to the smell of cinnamon rolls

shaped in a Christmastree, it's super yummy.

Obviously, it's really exciting

to open our presentsas well with my family.

And I really enjoy spendingquality time with them as well.

I really hope you have a wonderful,

blessed Christmas with your family.

And I hope you enjoy

all the Christmas traditions that you do.

I love you so much, andI'll see you next time, bye.

- One of my favorite Christmas traditions

is waking up really early with my sister,

and going downstairs andmaking a huge breakfast

for my grandma and my parents.

So we make biscuits, pancakes,bacon, eggs, sausage,

literally anything you canthink of for breakfast.

And then we just allsit together and we eat.

And then we go into our Christmas room.

Yes, we have a roomdedicated to Christmas.

And then we open our presents.

I love the tradition so muchbecause one, I love to eat.

And then two, we just gointo the Christmas room

and we just rip open some wrapping paper.

It's a nice time to have somebonding time with your family.

- Hi, I'm Mollyjean, and my favorite

Christmas tradition isthe Christmas pickle.

It's when one of your family members hides

a pickle ornament in yourChristmas tree on Christmas Eve.

And on Christmas morning, the first person

that finds this picklegets a special surprise.

- One of my favorite Christmas traditions

was always decorating the Christmas tree.

We would have our wholefamily around, pets included,

and my mom would sit on the couch

and she'd unwrap theornaments and hand them

to us and kind of tellus where to put them,

but not really, we hadto be creative, right?

My dad would do the lights.

And it would take a while,but that's okay, you know?

'Cause it was fun, and allof the pets were around,

and sometimes we put littlelike bows on their collars

or something and try to take pictures.

You know, pets will onlystay still for so long.

But he seems comfortable, right buddy?

(upbeat music)

- Hey guys, it's Johnfrom The Superbook Show,

and one of my favoritepersonal family traditions

that my family does rightaround Christmas time

is we go on December 24th, Christmas Eve,

after we go to church,maybe have some dinner,

see some friends for alittle bit of a celebration,

we all go under the tree,

we grab one present each and we open 'em.

It doesn't sound like anything crazy,

but it just helps withlike the anticipation

that Christmas day has, all the presents,

all the food, all the celebration.

Because I've been doingit since I was little.

And it's one of the mostconsistent traditions we do,

and my personal favorite.

And I think it's everybody'sfavorite in the family.

So yeah, that's why it's oneof my absolute favorites.

(upbeat music)
