11 Duggar Family Holiday Traditions, From a Little Strange to Pretty Weird

Well, they are known for doing things a little differently. When it comes to the holidays, the Duggar family definitely has its own way of doing things. And that’s certainly true of their yuletide traditions.

The Duggars are fairly conservative and very religious, so it makes sense that their beliefs translate to them handling Christmas in a unique way.

For starters, the former Counting On stars don’t participate in the Santa tradition. Luckily since they’re homeschooled, the little kids won’t need to break the news to their classmates.

Back in 2013, matriarch Michelle Duggar explained why they chose to not include the jolly man in a big red suit in their festivities. “Early in our marriage, Jim Bob [Duggar] and I really wanted to focus on the real meaning of Christmas. And so, we didn’t focus on Santa,” she shared in a TLC blog post at the time. “We kept that idea out of the whole celebration, we explained to the children who Santa was historically but focused on his good deeds and his ministering to children. We tell them about the true person of Saint Nicholas but don’t sensationalize him.”

A video taken by Jessa Duggar in 2016 showed just how hectic Christmas morning at the Duggar household can get. “When they say ‘Be here at 7 a.m. for gifts!’ Gotta keep on schedule if we’re gonna make it to church on time … #RunningOnDuggarTime,” she captioned the Instagram clip.

“Yeah, looks like everybody’s ready for Christmas around this place,” the mom of four — who shares kids Spurgeon, Henry, Ivy and Fern with husband Ben Seewald — can be heard saying. “All the lights are out. Ben and I are turning on all the lights. This is the way we roll.”

While the Duggars might have more brothers and sisters than the average person, their Christmas day is just like anyone else’s. (Er, sort of). They buy each other gifts and open them — it just might take a little longer than your own family.
