    Christmas Traditions?

    Good Evening,

    Share your Christmas Traditions...

    Mine is: 9 Years ago, I started to watch "It's a Wonderful Life" with my wife and son and today the tradition is still very strong... It's perhaps one of our most favorite days of the year..

    We cook a pizza and some wings and then about 10:00pm, we put the DVD in and voila.. Pure Christmas goodness and yet another year to add to our new tradition..

    Share yours..

    Cheers!

    Well each year on Christmas Day we just go over to some friends who throws a party each year. We go eat, have fun for about 4 to 6 hours (depending what is going on). Nothing is really set in stone since things change all the time. About 30 odd people show up each time which is so fun. We all get dressed up and sing... er other people sing. We dance, ect.

    Oh I forgot to say it is always outside. Even when it is the coldest weather we have a place set up to dance, sign, ect. Though eating is in side the house. I should get some pictures for tomorrow night. The lights they put up is so great. Though this year they put up so much the first time they turned them all on it took the power out.
    I am back....

    Always have a nice fire in our wood fire place Christmas morning. Nothing puts you in the Christmas mood like a nice real wood fire. We also have every one together for Christmas dinner and usually eat Toutaire (sp?) for breakfast on Christmas day.

    Merry Christmas

    i was just going to start a Holiday Tradition thread!! Way to go /bin/false!!

    i'm the only one up right now... my kids are all still sleeping... and the turkey is in the oven. This is great, it is soo quiet.

    Traditions.... we dont have any to speak of. The kids were wired to the extreme, we're having turkey (just like for Thanksgiving), and the tree lights stayed on all night tonight.

    Merry Christmas WHT!!

    One thing about the internet is that it makes you know that you are living in a world.

    Wish people behind me have a great christmas
