I'm just curious to see how everyone celebrates their holiday. I've heard some people with very unique traditions. For example, when do you open presents? Does your entire extended family (well, most) come over your house? Do you go to a relative's house?
On Christmas, I'm usually awake first. The rest of my family eventually wakes up, and then my parents go down stairs and make some finishing touches. Finally the rest of us can come down stairs. We usually open stockings, at breakfast, then open presents, or we eat breakfast then open stockings and presents. None of my extended family comes over, but sometimes it's nice to just have some peace with my favorite family of all. :xtongue:

So, what are your traditions? :xsmiley:

My family always opens one gift on Christmas Eve and then we watch "A Wonderful Life" and "A Christmas Story" while eating one of those big tins of popcorn as a family. Most of the time, those come with a little puzzle and we complete the puzzle while drinking hot chocolate.
Christmas morning my sister and I usually get up around 4 in the morning and watch those cheesy little Christmas movies that you can't help but love. We also get our stockings out about then and there are usually little games or a DVD in there. We pretty much just watch movies until the rest of our family gets up.

Usually we don't have Christmas with extended family, but I have a pretty large family as it is. Haha, I don't think I could handle my extended family over too.

First we go to my Grandma's house and exchange with her, then We go to my Grandma and Grandpa's house today, Christmas Eve and we do a grabbag and have a KFC Dinner :D. When we get home, we track santa, bake cookies for him, and sprinkle reindeer food on the lawn

On Christmas Day, we open the presents from santa and drink out of our Moose Cups ( as seen on National Lampoons Christmas Vacation ), then our grandma and Grandpa come over and we exchange with them. After they leave,we play with our toys and then go to our Cousins house were Everyone on my dads side of the family is at, and we have a little grabbag, and we play with our cousins,and then have dinner. When we get home, we go to sleep bc we stay there till about midnight...

:xgrin:Welcome to the Christmas Traditions Thread!:xgrin:
Share your Christmas Traditions here! for example, Me and my family always go to a certain house with millions of christmas lights all decorated by this one family, and they all go out and the husband dresses up as Santa and kids sit in his lap, and tell him what they want.
Share Yours if you want!:xmikec:

That sounds like a lot of fun :) My family doesn't have very many traditions, but the closest thing we have to one is opening one present each on Christmas Eve.

Well, I usually open presents before breakfast, have something small to eat, then open more presents, then have a small lunch, then watch films or relax, and then I have Christmas dinner :)
