What are your Christmas traditions?

[Rayeine]

Does anyone else have traditions around Christmas time?

here are a few of mine:

Every year since I was about 4 years old I've been going to the Nutcracker Ballet at the Queen Elizabeth Theater.I go with my Mom and my grandmother.
I used to dance, and every year it brings back awesome memories.

I've only been doing this for a few years, but a few friends and I drive downtown and pass out coffee,blankets and socks.
And when thats all over with we drive down to cultis for a freezing cold swim....well......we try.

aw shucks im getting all sentimental.

my x-maz traditions is to consume copious amounts of drugs and booze and get naked with as many strangers as possible...oh wait thats just my daily life :hehe: jk...i think

we have no x-maz traditions, our family gets together we feast on dead bird and fight with eachother, and im drunk all the time and belligerant and i leave pretty much after the dead bird and go party with my friends... the ones who really matter.

On Christmas Eve we go out for a hella fancy dinner somewhere, my dad used to own a printing shop in Whistler, so he always had a deal going with a resteraunt. Then, we go sing carols at the convention centre, go home and open all the presents. I eat a lot of choklit.
On Christmas day we get our stockings and then we all start drinking. Turkey dinner that night.
