We'd usually gather in the living room and watch movies together as a family, and Lord of the Rings trilogy quickly became a fan favourite. (still rewatching it annually!)
After that I played Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and Battle For Middle Earth 2, although I'm not sure which one I played first.
We also had the Lord of the Rings animated cartoon on a CD, which was unfinished IIRC.
Only years later have I finally read the Hobbit (found a great annotated version in the library), but I've yet to read the LOTR.
An annual watch of LotR is a tradition I too try and adhere to. When you can, try to make time for reading LotR. It can add more flavor to future viewings of the Jackson films.
I definitely will! Actually have it downloaded and just sitting on my Kindle. I should really get to it one of these days.
