Christmas was always magical for me growing up, but I also grew up in NC where there are a lot of Moravian communities that have traditions that most of the community adopt or make part of their tradition as well. Almost every house has a Moravian star hanging over their front porch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravian_star

Almost everyone within a reasonable distance makes a trip to Old Salem in Winston-Salem, NC during the Christmas season to pick up home made beeswax candles, coffee cake, Moravian cookies. http://www.oldsalem.org/holiday.html

And my favorite thing in the world is to go to a midnight Christmas Eve candlelight Lovefeast at a Moravian church. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lovefeast
