Before we even finish the last piece of Halloween candy, I’m already in the warm and fuzzy holiday spirit. Planning our Thanksgiving menu, hitting up discount stores for cute holiday decor, and planning out all of the fun places to check off our holiday bucket list. While some places we only have a chance to visit once, there are some that have become annual traditions. The Holiday Train Show at the New York Botanical Garden is one of them. Some years we’ve gone as a family and others we have done a date night during their Bar Cart Nights. But it’s always a magical time to be at the garden.
To share our love of the Holiday Train Show, we’re giving away a Family 4 Pack of tickets to the show, which opens November 19th. TO ENTER: Simply leave a comment below letting us know your favorite holiday tradition. Then, for EXTRA entries, use the Rafflecopter link below for more chances to win.

More about the Holiday Train Show:
Inside the twinkling glow of the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, enchanting model trains zip through a display of 150 landmarks, each re-created with bark, leaves, and other natural materials. The recent exhibition expansion continues with more trains and a true New York finale featuring a whimsical tribute to the iconic Coney Island amusement park’s architecture and attractions.
Explore a winter wonderland across our 250 acres with special tours, musical performances, and activities for kids. Plus, take care of your gift list at NYBG Shop, and warm up with refreshments and a bite at the Mastercard Gingerbread Café.
*Valid to residents in the United States only.
**The train show runs from November 19-January 16.

My favorite holiday tradition is Christmas morning at home. The kids wake up and open their presents with the yule log on the tv. Then we order breakfast while the kids play with their new toys. I love Christmas morning!

Every year, my family gets together on Christmas Eve. We share food, laughs, and spend time together. Everyone opens gifts at midnight. We always have a wonderful time. It’s a nice way to spend the holiday with the entire family. Christmas morning, my children open their gifts from Santa. They spend the day relaxing and playing with toys. It’s a nice tradition

Every year after eating our holiday traditional Puerto Rican food we gather a group and go see the tree at Rockefeller.
