In the early years of our marriage, we'd go out and get a special orament for the tree every year, and as kids came along we got ornaments for them. We also have done the Angel Tree at the mall every year. Husband and I look for the oldest child on the tree, and each of the children gets to pick one (before they were old enough to choose their own, we'd get one their age). We also make a point of always carrying change to put in the Salvation Army buckets, and we put something in the USMCR Toys for Tots programs.
On a more personal note, every year the kids get new pajamas (they know one box contains jammies), and we would always do one thing different for the holiday meal.
As a kid, we always went to the Midnight Service on Christmas Eve, and when we got home each ofus got to open one present.
