Open thread: What's your one tip to make Christmas feel magical?

Tell us what makes Christmas for you. 

CHRISTMAS IS COMING ever nearer and you’re probably already thinking of how you’re going to celebrate it – and how to make it as special as possible.

Every family tends to have their own traditions formed over the years to make the festive season as magical as possible, and we want to know what they are. We asked some of our team at Journal Media what they do to make their Christmas as special as possible, and then it’s over to you.

Making a Christmas tradition

Every year, each kid makes a different Christmas tree ornament, and we sign and date it. It’s so much fun hanging them up every year.

This classic move:

Putting out milk and biscuits/cookies and a carrot for the reindeer the night before and seeing them half-eaten the next morning.
