Patridge Family Christmas Traditions

12/19/2008
Every year on Christmas Eve my whole family and I go to my grandparents' house and have a huge dinner and open presents.  It can get pretty hectic because I have a really big family, but it's always so much fun! 

We spend the night at my parents' house and wake up on Christmas morning and open the gifts we got each other, and of course from Santa. Then we spend all day in our jammies playing with new gadgets and just spending time together! So far, I haven't broken this tradition yet, and with the MTV finale on December 22nd, I am going to be cutting it pretty close because I get back from New York on Christmas Eve!  I can't imagine doing Christmas any other way though.

I would love to hear about all of your Holiday traditions.  Feel free to leave them in comments below!

Check out Whitney's, Brody's, Kim's, Khloe's and Mischa's sites to hear about their holiday memories!

Hey Audrina,

Well my Christmas eve is just like yours!! My whole familly and i go to my grand parents house, we also have a huge dinner, but the difference is that we all sleep at their house, and we open the gifts in the next morning (the 25th), then we spend the day together, using our new gifts, eating chocolates.... :)!

I wish you a merry christmas, of course on the 22th ill watch the finale, on the internet, because in France we dont have the season 4 yet!!!


Take care of you!!!


That sounds class. Im from Ireland and every Christmas eve we have a big dinner in my parents house and sleep there and open all our presents in Christmas morning from each other and Santa. This year my niece is with us and it's the first year she understands Santa, so it will be fun. She's the only grandchild and is totally spoilt rotten! We love her so much we cant stop buying her presents. Then on Stephen's Day (Boxing Day) we all just sit around watching movies and eating and we have a party at night time with all our cousins and family members. I have to miss out this year because my boyfriend is from the country (about 4.5 hours away) and i have to spend some time with him family too. Happy Holidays Audrina. Thanks for being a great role model all year. :) x


every year before i got married my family would fight... to this day i still hate the holidays and rather not celebrate. now that im married we go to his grandparents every yr. im starting to learn what it is to be loved by family, ad being around family doesnt have to mean fights.


cherish your family


it always starts nice but ends with yelling, haha. loads of food and lussecats and LOADS of presents, it's kinda worth it :D


Sounds kinda like my christmas :) But I'm from sweden and we celebrate christmas on december 24. Gets to my grandparents house around 1pm, and then we come home to maybe our house around 5pm to celebrate more there. We just eat and open presents all day long ;)


Audrina..You are beautiful!!

I had no idea you were naturally a blonde?


Audrina doll,
My family was and is still like that! I loved waking up super early in the morning and getting my younger sisters up to go open gifts from Santa. I gotta tell you though, and im still not ashamed of it, i did believe in Santa. Its awesome! I only want to pass these traditions like that to my daughter! Shes only going to be a year next month, so this will be her first Christmas!!! I wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy new years!!! And another thing, make sure your with Justin on New Years!!!! LOL! Take Care dolls!

Kisses,
~*Erika*~

Hi Audrina,

Thanks for sharing your holiday traditions and the pictures too! Very sweet of you. <3

Our family gets up in the morning and opens gifts from each other. Then my grandparents come over to have brunch and we open (and give) more gifts. After, we sit around and chat and relax, until it's time to go to my aunt and uncle's house for dinner. We usually all spend the evening there, which is nice.

Hey, how much snow is there in New York? It must be really different for you, huh? I live a bit farther north (Ontario) and we have SO much. I hope that it all melts after Christmas. I really am not one for snow, especially now that I can drive. Maybe I should come live with you for the winter, Audrina, or we can swap places, haha. ;)

- Nicole, xo
