Big dinner Christmas Eve, usually eat Mushroom soup, perogies, and other stuff, go to midnight mass. Christmas, open presents, have big breakfeast, big lunch, people usually come over to our house for Christmas dinner. We only say grace once a year, and that's for Christmas dinner, I think that's funny, and laugh like a jackass through the whole prayer. (Parents get really mad and embarassed infront of friends} 🙄
My only tradition is that I invite people to dinner who otherwise would be alone. My best mate Martin comes to ours every year because his girlfriend always goes to stay with her family over Christmas. Also this year we've got a woman coming who Mrs.MM works with because she's usually alone at Xmas. Mrs.MM didn't like it when we first got together but she's cool with it now and realises that it's better to have a busy and happy Xmas day and a chilled out Boxing day with just the two of us.
If anyone here is gonna be alone on Xmas day you can always come to mine. 😄
Due to an arcane set of family traditions inherited from BOTH sides of the family, Christmas and Boxing Day is a stressful nightmare of present opening, eating, sleeping and loud family arguments, plus our patented "throw the used wrapping paper into the box" game.
I'm in charge of distributing presents and the yearly quiz. Two years ago I got complained at by my Aunt for putting too much history in, last year I got moaned at by my Mother for putting too much Maths in. So this year I have put in both. With any luck, everyone should be equally annoyed.
