Tell us about your Holiday traditions!

[Toxic Nightshade]

Well, the night of the 24 we go to church and then drive an hour and a half all the way to my Grandma's and cousin's house. We play games, eat a wonderful dinner, and then sing carols. The leftovers go to Santa, since we don't want to waste, and then all of the children run upstairs to hide so Santa won't see them because he comes early. Bells ring and Santa laughs, and then we go downstairs to see what presents are under the tree. We open presents, visit and play, and then go home. Then in the morning, my brother sister and I all go downstairs and open our stockings, but wait till our family gets to our house so we can eat a wonderful Christmas breakfast together and then go open presents. I have a lot of fun and I get to be with my family, so Christmas is always great.

We open 1 present the on the night of Christmas Eve, then open the rest on Christmas Day. Chicken Smoothie's time is 1 day ahead of mine, so I open 1 present of my choice, tomorrow!

My uncle comes home from the twin cities and we go to church on Christmas Eve! That's usually when we open presents from my grandparents. Then, we stay in pajamas on Christmas Day and open the gifts at my house then.

Christmas always used to be just me and my parents but last year we invited a friend round, and he is also coming this time. He is an extremely eccentric man who is only known by a nickname derived from his last name, never tells anyone his address, tells us stories about a hoard of characters he has invented with peculiar names and makes lots of complex literary puns. He's a bit of a mad genius really as he is very cultured and writes well but also seems to live half in a fantasy world. Last year because of his love of puns we gave all the food names. For example the sprouts were Marcelery Sprouts, after the writer Marcel Proust.
I would love to stay up late pretending I was still young enough to believe in Father Christmas, but I am very tired and probably won't.

Still need to buy my parents something! Christmas Eve shopping - what fun.

For the holidays I always am with my family

Have fun with my family

I guess I'm a bit lucky. Rather than waiting until the 25th to open presents, we open them all late on the 24th, after eating a prime rib dinner.

On the 25th, though, we get to see what Santa brought, and have a turkey lunch.

Other than opening our presents on the 24th, we don't do many things uniquely.

One time when it snowed me and my stepbrother tried to jump on the trampoline but it was too covered in snow to even get on there! It just looked like a lump of snow!

I usually just wake up at 1 AM and set up a bunch of random decorations and random things,then at 3 AM I hide everybody's stockings and when every-body is awake,I make my family have a scavenger hunt.It's tiring but,sooo worth it.
