We have no traditions.
Sobs... quietly into the night....

I used to have one of wearing the same nightgown every Christmas morning but I quite literally grew out of it after a few years.

I don't think I have any traditions either ._.
My family isn't.. close knit, should we say.

My family has a tradition of eating steaks on Christmas Day for dinner. Sadly I don't like steak so it's sort of a bummer for me.

Every year we sit down to at least one showing of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. XD Other than that, that's really it. XD

We traditionally ALWAYS get an apple, an orange, and a christmas tree cake in our stocking :3 and we only get the christmas tree in our stocking... only one per year so its a big thing to look forward to :DD

On Christmas Eve we always have rice pudding and an almond prize. Only one person's bowl has the almond, and if you have it you win some chocolate and marzipan. It's a Danish tradition that my mom brought over from her family.

Only this year no one found the almond. O__o We think someone accidentally ate it this year!

Since it's the whole family that meet up for us... Someone dresses up as Santa and gives everyone their gifts from the family like that! There's about 20 of us in total ^_^;

It is, but it's amazing to see. My mum has three sisters and a brother and there's all my cousins too... they go from like... 19 to 27 years old

@Loki NO GIVE IT BACK!

Ah really? I'm a horrible half-Dane...I don't like fish, and marzipan is only good in small doses. XD It is nice with chocolate though...mmm.

@Nekra That must be crazy! 8U I can't imagine any big family gathering for Christmas personally, it sure sounds fun though! Its always just been my immediate family. (This might be due to that fact that we're the only ones crazy enough to live this far north...)

bwahaha! Nekra I envy you... Usually for Christmas at my Grandmothers, we have 26 people hanging around, 10 of which are kids and only 4 above the age of 18... and thats not counting the friends that come over x3 If I ever did a full on family reunion there would be...
38 adults (of which 1 is me, 3 are my siblings, and 1 is my cousin)
17 kids (all my cousins, ranging in age from 2 to 18)
