      Our traditions:

      Decorate for Christmas day after Thanksgiving (I love all the pretty lights more than anything).
      Eggnog as often as I can have it (prefer the non-alcoholic version)
      Candy Canes also as often as I can have them
      Christmas Eve: Dinner with in-laws Linguini with Clam Sauce or home made Alfredo sauce, garlic bread, broccoli and Strawberry Shortcake for dessert. Then we open gifts and play a game usually.
      Christmas Day: Cinnamon Rolls for breakfast with eggs, bacon and home fries. Then off to my families for lunch (though not this year). Then to see whatever awesome movie is out in December. This year is Rouge One (darn I have to wait like a week to see it).
      Christmas Evening: Invite friends over to snack and play board games or watch movies.

      Christmas gift must haves in our house:
      Christmas Stockings always have: Chocolate, Tooth Brush, Flash lights and some crazy stupid fidget toy.1_1480956474541_IMG_0136.JPG 0_1480956474539_IMG_0135.JPG

        I do stuff with family on the 24th/25th, eating, gifts, etc., then xmas day evening begins "friendsmas", where the whole crew gathers at my neighbor's house for heavy boozing and usually a bonfire. There is always great food and loud music, and it's the best way to decompress after the family stuff.

          That sounds like my family minus the boozing. So much fun!

            • 06: Nikolaus (just exchanging small gifts, some sweets and maybe getting a table at a good restaurant)
            • Decorating the house roughly 2 weeks before Christmas
            • Getting the tree the week before Christmas-
            • 23: Decorating the tree
            • 24: Doing stuff with my family, large family dinner, playing games, ...
            • 24: Exchanging gifts at ~9pm
            • 25: Another half day with (my) family
            • 25: Trying to get home, pumping the stomach (way too much great food and sweets), meeting some very close friends
            • 26: Meeting my wifes family
            • 27 - 30: Recovering

            And like every year, I will try to get in the cellar with my dad to work on some projects. That never works, we'll get interupts every few minutes 😉

                I live in Bedford Falls (Seneca Falls) from the movie, It's A Wonderful Life. http://therealbedfordfalls.com/ So in addition to our family traditions, we'll be checking out some of the events down town.

                  @Mike-Davis That is an actual town? Had no idea.
                  Never understood why they show It's a Wonderful Life 3 weeks before Christmas.
                  Awww, 503 error.

                        Old tradition: Visit Dad for Christmas but he sadly passed away a little over a year ago.

                        New Tradition: Spend time with Fiance's family. Drink glug (they are swedish).

                            My wife watches the live action Grinch movie basically everyday from the day after Thanksgiving until New Years... Other then that our traditions got thrown out the window this year.

                            Next year we're going all out for Emilia's second Christmas (since she'll know kind of what's going on).

                                He asked me if I had Netflix, so I'm assuming yes. But I don't know for sure. It's Santa vs Krampus, from what I'm to understand.

                                    He said it was phenomenal. I'm usually inclined to trust him, as his judgment has rarely failed me. 🙂

                                      I just checked Netflix, that is the one I saw... and it does look amazing.

                                          Pretty much everyone should be watching Santa's Slay w/ Bill Golberg. Little known fact, he actually met his wife while filming it.

                                            The day I watch this isn't so important, but it is a traditional show in my house... along with Jingle All the Way.
