What are your Christmas traditions?

On Christmas Eve, my whole family comes to my grandmas house, which I guess is now my house too, and we just hang out. Then on Christmas, we open presents, and everyone comes over again at around 1. We also have a big dinner at around 3.

Well Christmas Eve is my birthday. So we usually just hang around the house and my mom makes me whatever i want for dinner and desert. then we open my birthday presents when my dad gets home from work. Then as tradition, my parents let me have a little glass of champagne with them while we get "santa's" presents ready for my siblings.

Then on Christmas my brother and sister wake us up around 7. We open presents and eat breakfast. Then just hang around the house. I love the holidays.

:)

Well every year there's A Lot of family Parties.:)

Usually starts off with late Christmas shopping.

Then i pick up my brother at the airport.

Watch Christmas movies.

Bake cookies and deserts to put on the table for guests.

I might go drinking with a friend sometime during the holidays.

Christmas at my aunts, obv. gifts in the morning.

All my cousins are coming down from college so its good to catch up. :)

....Dads side of the family.

Then theres the official huge party with everyone on my dads side of the family.

We rent out this place in town every year.

Theres my second cousins, my dads cousin, and all of there dates.

Dancing, music, fancy super, games, social gathering. 200+ people are usually there.

Then onn Boxing day we go to my other aunts house (my mom's side)

On New Years we go to my grandmas cottage, for a few nights.

Usually fireworks by the lake, ski doing, count down with my favorite people,

help out grandpa, very nice rooms to sleep in, walks in the bush.

My favorite time of the year,!! Its like this every year.!!

So i consider it all tradition.

I live in cold canada so every year i also go somewhere hot for a week this year its Mexico. Mayan Riviera baby.

Usually around christmas after it settles down. :))

Me and my family go to church, we have a Christmas dinner with a lot of delicious foods, we open gifts by the tree, we watch TV and give each other wishes/greetings. The usual.

the second week of decemeber we go to my grandmother's and we all had picked out names before hand on who to buy a present for.

then on christmas even both sets of grandparents come over and we have lasagna, give gifts, watch a few christmas movies, and go play out in the snow.

then on christmas it's just my mom, dad, brother, and i. and we watch christmas movies after opening gifts and play outside.

On Christmas Eve we stay up until Midnight, we get to open one gift.

(last year we watched the trailer park boys... lol)

Then I go to bed around 1am Christmas morning, than I sleep and we open presents at like 8-9 ish. which can get very boring. than mom makes brunch, (you know the whole eggs, taost, bacon) than we chill with our new stuff and talk, (but me and my sister go into her room and like chill and goo-goo over our new stuff). than we eat at like 5 ish, the real christmas dinner. and that's it. it's pretty boring, I love Christmas eve was better than the day. because after the gifts are open the excitement is dead.

On christmas Eve, me and my sister always get to open one present, its always pajamas haha (: Sounds childish, but we've done it since i was little, (: Also, on Christmas Day, we get up and take turns opening gifts, and then we go to my grandfathers house for dinner!

We open our presents here, then we go with my mom's family for lunch and stay for awhile. Then me and my sisters go with our grandfather and his wife to her family and have dinner there with them and her grandkids. And a rule is that any presents we get before christmas must go under the tree. We can open them, but then we must wrap it back somehow and stick it under the tree.

We all go to the Christmas Eve service.

We don't really have traditions.
