Tell us about your Holiday traditions!

[throam]

I live in Australia, so it's also Summer here too! Normally we open our presents, go to my grandparents and open presents from them. We spend most of the day just playing around with our presents and eating ham and prawns. And the day after we always go to my cousins house and have a family get-together, and we share gifts around!

Unfortunately, this year due to bush fires, we won't be able to visit my cousins as the roads aren't safe, so we'll probably spend this year just by ourselves :^)

I think its so neat, that its summer there!
I hope you can see your cousins again soon, Happy Holidays!

I'd love to experience a white Christmas, but I can't deny that it's good to have it in summer!

I hope you have a lovely holiday, too! ~

Our tradition, we open one optional present on Eve and on Christmas, we open our presents in joy. We don't do anything else, really. If we would have a feast we'd do it 2 weeks early. We had a feast this year, and we ended up having a Hot-Pot feast at my house. My cousins and close friends soon got along together and we played Hide-And-Seek. Actually, we play hide-and-seek whenever cousins/friends meet together. I just ask and they all eventually agree. The parents don't usually get any presents, I feel bad for them. The kids mostly get everything and it's normally kids giving kids presents, not really parents giving kids. This year, we didn't set up a Christmas tree because my dad went traveling and my mom doesn't know how to set it up. We don't have stockings filled with items. Our tradition is quite different.

I would normally wake up on the evenings on no school days or at mornings. I may not go out and immediately open presents. I may stay in bed for 2 more hours!

If would get out immediately, I'd run outside without even brushing my teeth and just throw my presents and tear them apart.

If you have any questions go ahead and ask by PM or right here <3

The da before we celebrate Christmas, our relatives come and we have salmon dinner.
The next day, us kids play in the snow(if there is some, but it doen't look like we're goiing to have any this year) and have a small lunch. In the afternoon we play games and wait for christmas eve to come. In the evening, we have a big meal. After that we open christmas presents and sit together and sing songs. My mother reads then out of her bible. The next day some of relatives start leaving and some stay to take holidays by us.

So, I live in Australia. *Waves to fellow Australians*
So, when we wake up, we scream at our parents to come out of their room and see the presents. Then we beg them to let us open them. (Usually they say yes.) Then we open them and do the morning routines of getting changed and blah, blah...then we get ready for our Christmas barbecue we do every year. When our frienda come, we play and open or give their presents. Since our family is Korean, we uaually have Korean food and yeah. We just have fun.

The next day we just stay at home and clean up. Or we go to the beach (we do that a LOT every Summer). But as TeaCupRat said before, there have been many bushfires and the heat has been intense, so not as often as the past years.

Any questions? Please ask me through PM. (I don't expect many questions sonce I practically explained my wjole life story there.) XD

I celebrate by Decorating a Christmas tree and hanging around the fireplace at night! I also go tobogganing in the snow with my family! Also, we sit on the couch and watch Christmas Movies all night long❤ I also LOVE to have nice big Christmas DINNERS! Yummy!!

our family Christmas is pretty boring... We have breakfast, open presents, have a baked lunch and then fluff about for the rest of the day at home... Its just my parents and I, the rest of the family either live in another state or they don't like us!

We use to go and pick up my grandma Christmas morning before we opened prezzies and she would stay with us till late in the afternoon, but sadly she is no longer with us, this is our first christmas without her :'(

We start today with setting up a tree.

In Germany we open presents on Christmas Eve and before that the hubby and me play games. After we cook together

For now it's only the two of us as we have no kids.

First, we wake up at maybe 10:30 and we go downstairs to video chat with family in different places. We stay in pajamas all day and make dinner. Usually turkey ham because my mother and I don't eat pork, but my father does. We have an early dinner so we can fill up on chocolate while watching a Studio Ghibli movie. We binge watch TV and we sleep at 11:00.

I was never old enough to be allowed in the snow when we were in Ireland. After moving where there was no possible chance of snow were back. But I'm doubting if there will be any.
