Do you have any fun Christmas traditions?

We open gifts on Christmas Eve... for picture purposes - LisaKL  748.4 #135 10:59AM
well we decorate our house and tree and just last year we started a tradition where us kids have our own tree-we decided it would be mostly Disney themed, still collecting ornaments though - WoodyHugger  43.2 #3898 11:00AM
Where did you find this picture it's really cute! Since I'm ethnically mixed, Christmas eve we make lumpia, sushi, tamales, wings, pizza, adobo, pancet, and lots of desserts! - kayrassaCM  25.7 #4605 11:15AM
New tradition. Go hang out eith kayrassa! - Butterlina  1307.8 #62 11:18AM
We have a big Polish-themed dinner on Christmas eve which traditionally includes 12 dishes, including pierogi. I make my own Christmas crackers (the British type that make a loud crack when you pull the ends) and everyone has to read the little jokes inside aloud and wear the paper hats while opening presents. - Polkadobo  372.1 #370 11:19AM
we go to Original Joe's (San Jose) for xmas eve dinner. the ravioli's are the best ever - and there's so many leftovers we eat them while drinking champagne or wine xmas morning (after presents). mmm - teaparty  60.8 #3560 11:34AM

^^ Tamales yes I understand. Brandy in a drink I understand. The other thing not so much. Splain please. - Butterlina  1307.8 #62 12:28PM
We get a Disney ornament every year, everyone goes to my grandma's house on Christmas Eve and the man of the family reads the Christmas story in the Bible and we sing Happy Birthday to Jesus. I've been making my mom's awesome fudge recipe for the past 5 yrs. And since we got married, DH and I throw a Christmas Eve-Eve party on the 23rd. - TickledTink  352.8 #406 12:29PM
Every person in the household gets a new ornament every year (mine and Mom's are usually Disney lol). We have certain ornaments that go in certain spots on the tree. Then Christmas morning = coffee then stockings. Doggies first, then youngest to oldest. Then we pass out gifts... Then it's pretty much just a lazy day of eating and lounging around. We also try to make it to Christmas Tree Lane walk-through every year (it's a strip of houses that are mostly decked out in Christmas lights/decorations. Usually a drive through sorta thing, but twice a year it's walk through and we LOVE doing that!) - SPandEvLover  782.6 #120 1:56PM
With my husband's family we open gifts at midnight. With both families someone is Santa and hands out gifts one by one. Once someone opens their gift, then another is passed out. This way we can get pictures of everyone and not have to worry about missing someone's reaction  - LBChica  1500.2 #52 1:59PM
Open presents, eat till we explode and then find the hidden pickle on the tree. - DznyHeart  82.0 #3251 2:00PM
Christmas Eve my mom always had us open one gift early. I'm not sure why possibly to get the holiday spirit going or to torture me. Lol. Then we'd have cocoa and cookies. Yeti's mom does the same thing except you get new pj's every year for the photos the next morning. Lol. - PrettyPixie  759.2 #132 2:17PM
Christmas pjs from Santa on Christmas eve. Every year our elf on the shelf comes back and watches the kids for Santa. It doesn't stop the daily bloodshed but he's cute. I also give them a new ornament every year. - Missshelly  690.3 #147 2:26PM
On Christmas eve, me and my family go to my grandmother's house(dad's side)and hang out there till mid-night, then open presents VERY early Christmas morning(3 am early that is), go home, sleep for a few hours, get up and go to my other grandmas house to open more presents and eat tamales! - Alemmon  7.6 #7798 4:01PM
Exact same things as missshelly. Xmas jammies Xmas eve (this year it's Mickey and Minnie) and a new ornament of their choosing. - CravingDisney  150.1 #2289 4:04PM
We start putting up the Christmas Tree and other Christmas decorations Thanksgiving Day and open presents at midnight Christmas Day. - Becky  551.0 #200 4:17PM
Christmas Eve we spend at my Dad's. We aren't allowed to buy him nor my stepmom gifts. We spend the year doing RAKs and on Christmas Eve our whole family sits in a circle and shares. Then my DH and I drive back to his Mom's and spend the night. We open presents in the morning and have yummy tamales just like we have every Christmas morning for the last 21 years since we met.  - QueenBee  62.0 #3540 4:28PM
Christmas dinner at my Mother in Laws. She makes a traditional Puerto Rican meal, I look forward to it all year long. - Luckyducker  9.3 #209 5:19PM
Christmas eve my best friend comes over. We open gifts with her and have waffles and bacon for dinner. So yummy and such a fun way to spend the evening. - Mommadisneyfan  20.5 #4999 5:56PM
My brothers and sister and I and our familes spend the night at my parents house so we can all open our presents togther on Christmas morning. It takes like 3 hours but it's like staying a kid forever cuz we get to go home for that one night and wake up at mom and dads. - Pinup Princess  167.4 #2042 8:48PM
Christmas eve santas elfs drop off new jammies. They just show up when you leave the room. Then Christmas morning we all open gifts stocking and play with all the toys. Then I make breakfast watch the Disney parade and head to grandmas. After grandmas we end a late night with mom and dad. @disneycrazy that is awesome! - vegasbrat  403.8 #324 9:00PM
