Do you?

I have one... I realized that it is the same as @YouNiceKeepGoin's because my mom told me. XD

Each year, we buy a new real tree and decorate it with all of our special ornaments... And each year we buy a new ornament to put on the tree!!!!


What are your Christmas traditions?

One of my brothers is married without kids atm and he has christmas dinner with his wife's family first then they both come home (my home) to eat another christmas dinner, and then we all watch the doctor who christmas special together, whether we like the current doctor or not. 3/5 of my siblings come from the same dad (other two from another dad, solely me from the final dad) so it used to be tradition that they had theor christmas with him and their step mum on christmas eve but their step mum is getting saltier by the year about having to "share" then with my mum who BIRTHED them so now they gotta go round on christmas day and that married brother i mentioned sometimes gets 3 dinners per christmas.

- We always get a real Christmas tree. I don't remember ever not having a real tree. A part of the fun of Christmas has always been going out and selecting a tree. The decorations were also never coordinated. The ornaments on the tree all have a special story/sentiment attached to them. Growing up it was a mixture of decorations from my mother's childhood, to my childhood and also decorations brought throughout the years. And that is something that I've kept doing since I started my own family. My Christmas tree is decorated with my childhood ornaments, ornaments that my daughters have picked out and our Christmas topper is a snowflake that is 25 years old and falling apart. But it is very special to me.

- A new concept to me that my wife introduced a few years ago. But we now prepare a Christmas Eve box for our daughters. It will be filled with special Christmas PJs, hot chocolate, a snack and a Christmas film, their Christmas stockings and also a mince pie, cookies, carton of milk, carrot and reindeer treats for Santa's visit.

Decorating the tree ofc.

Christmas dinner is probably biggest. Planning it, cooking and baking, then having dinner together with the family. Karelian stew is pretty much go to every year.

Pretty normal stuff though, i don't think there is any thing that is just for my family.

Nothing much but going to the buffet to eat (we do celebrate Christmas twice though; In December and early January). And my family tried doing a posada one year (visit other people’s homes to party until Christmas Day). But it’s really time consuming and we stopped.

Edit: the posada lasts a week

Some more My sisters all get a new book usually for each family and the families read that story together Christmas eve.
Those get kept for year round reference.
We used to make very custom trees since we would give each other an ornament (mom still buys a unique ornament for each of us ) but that got out of hand now that we are older. the girls will go with themed trees and some of the uniqueness scattered around.
One sister collects lighthouse stuff so we load her up most of the girls set up villages.

For my self i usually do my folks place but i do have a ton of stuff if i take a hankering.

We always meet at mom and dads and that is where their gifts and family to family gifts come in ... oh and we get a bit excessive about breakfast snacks since its a later in the day before we go over.

Dinner is more of a free for all but we tend to end up at one of the places with a fire pit and make s'mores and chat depending on how worn out we all are :)
