What is your favorite Christmas tradition?
#21
don't really have a christmas tradition anymore due to having my grandmother pass on christmas eve in 1997 and then my mom on the same date a few years ago. it has been hard to do anything traditional but thankfully we don't have any little ones that need that magical essence. but, at one time, when the youngest in the family finally realized that santa wasn't 'real' we would have a 'ceremony' that included a solemn oath never to reveal that to any of the young kids they came in contact with. to my knowledge, not one leaked the info. the other one was having one or two drinks and then having a few of us climb on the roof, stomp a bit, ring some sleigh bells, and plant some very obvious footprints. one year my son added chocolate covered raisins to the reindeer trail as scat to 'prove' santa had been there. in all the years only one time did my dad fall off the roof which we considered pretty good.

Watching The Hogfather. Also, having a cooked brekky with my son, daughter-in-law and grandkids on Boxing Day morning whilst skyping with my daughter and her hubby and new baby in Canada which is their Christmas Day dinnertime. Family together (sort of)

As kids we used to hide Star Wars figures in the Christmas tree.

Does "Trying to avoid all the maddness" count? My favorite one anyway.

I celebrate both Hannukah and Christmas since my Mom's side is Jewish while my Dad's side is Catholic. Normally for my family, bigger gifts are for Christmas while Hannukah has it so some gifts are small and could build up to larger gifts in the latter nights!
