I was just curious, and i like reading them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of my family's tradition is the turkey's "arse" award. It originated when my mom and uncles where little, my grandparents or great uncle or who ever cooked the turkey would cut off the "arse" of the turkey and give it to some one at the dinner for any reason they wanted to, for example a new girlfriend and then the person who got the award would have to give a speach. We have recently modified this a bit and now its a fake trophy that says the turkey's "arse" award on it. We give it away every chistmas eve.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So post some of your x-mas traditions.

 

 

 

Any you love? hate? want to get rid of? want to pass down to your kids?

Well, we always gather with family. That's about it...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Merry Christmas!!! :

Mom bakes a bunch of stuff, like cookies and a big Christmas dinner. I bring up the Christmas stuff like tree and my Mom puts it up pretty much. We always have eggnog. My Christmas weekends are always incredibly mind blowing boring.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thats what happens here anyway.

We don't eat turkey or chicken or duck or nuttin' like that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...We have home-made taco's. Woot. They're delicious. Just can't buy shells that good in the store. :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, we're not Mexican either.

Haha that's quite an original tradition.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My family doesn't really have any. We used to have this one, horrible tradition though. On Christmas morning we were never allowed to open presents until about 10:00 am, when all of my half sisters/grandparents would come over (can you imagine being a 5-10 year old kid and not be allowed to touch your presents for 3 hours? :P). Then we'd all sit in a circle and open presents one at a time, everyone watching.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Certainly one of the most nerve-wracking things ever :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for now, it's usually different every year. In fact, many times around Christmas we go on vacation, which I hate. Vacationing over Christmas is never quite the same as having Christmas at home.

The past few years its always ended up most of us going to the mall like 2 days before christmas eve. We'll spend like 4 hours there shopping for each other, going in "pairs" or whatever and than switching off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:lol:

Only "tradition" my family has is opening presents on christmas eve (today).

 

 

 

Which will happen... in about 5 minutes or so :thumbsup:

Don't forget the traditional christmas argument.

we get to open one present on christmas eve..... one time me my brother and my cousin chose our 1 present that was for all of us so we opened it and got PS2 controllers :lol:

Usually my family goes to see a movie on Christmas Eve then on Christmas morning we open gifts. My bro and I usually enjoy our gifts for the rest of the day while my parents watch movies/tv. This year we're changing it up a bit and my grandparents are coming to visit.

A Festivus for the rest of us!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Actually, we just open gifts on Christmas Eve after a nice dinner. Steaks this year :)

My huge family does a Yankee Swap. Everybody brings a wrapped gift, puts it in the middle. We draw numbers to see who goes first, etc..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first number picks, then so on, and if you want, you can trade for any of the other gifts (You know what they look like) and at the end, the person who picks 1 gets one final trade to get what they wanted. :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's pretty fun and funny and the family has a good time with it. Kids get a little competitive sometimes though :roll: .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Mommy, let's trade for the teddy bear frame."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When her aunt, with another 5 year old, has the frame. And then there's a little crying because they lose the frame, and so on and so forth. I have only asked one of my parents to get something once :wink:.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was one of those fake fishes that you hang on the wall and it sings :lol:. I was like 7 and those things looked so amusing.

We always have a ham and a turkey, like most people.

 

 

 

Every xmas eve we go to a party up the road from us to tide us over til xmas day so we're not waiting about for it.

 

 

 

Xmas day we open our presents and have the entire family round ( :| ) then just generally get wasted and eat ourselves stupid.

 

 

 

We always make chocolate truffles too, I sorted that one out yesterday :)

 

 

 

Other than that we don't really have anything else.

Haha that's quite an original tradition.

Wow that must of sucked quite a bit, my family never does that, I'm the only child in the house so I always used to wake up at like 6am - 7am and open gifts, it was great. My brothers wife does that one though, makes the kids wait till like 10am or something, they had to actually sleep in till then too. I always thought that must have been the worst.

We feast and stay up till 2 AM in Christmas Eve.

Every Christmas Eve we go to my Grandparent's house and exchange gifts and such, I love it.

We don't eat turkey or chicken or duck or nuttin' like that.

DOOD, so do we! :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On Christmas Eve all my family comes to our house, and we ( lots of teens in my family ) play Halo 2 4 vs 4, and have a giant Taco feast. :thumbsup:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I must say I am very pleased with my Christmas Eve, as it is very original. This year we might even play Gears of War.

We have a nice meal. That's it and the Family Chirstmas Poker Match :D (I hope to win again this year, 2nd time in a row!) Happy Holidays everyone! :)

My X-Mas Tradition is opening presents (of course), then the whole family comes over my house and we have a big dinner. That's pretty much all we do.
