Every year in our neighborhood a horse drawn carriage comes and all of the neighbors drink spiked hot chocolate (the adults), eat gingerbread cookies, and get on the carriage and sing carols. Sounds pretty hokey but it is pretty magical for my kids and I love the spiked hot chocolate. This year we are starting a new tradition on christmas day where we roast a suckling pig and open up our house to any of our friends and family that can make it.
