Do You Have any Special / Unique Christmas Traditions?

[workman]

We have tons of traditions for christmas. We always visit my grandparents at the graveyard and freshen up the headstone and grave. This adds some solemnity to the rest, which is all fun and games, food and drink. And presents.

When the ball drops on New year's Eve I usually do a lap around my house in my underwear, especially if it's below 0

We used to get liquored up and run folks off the road, go muddin in random folks’ yards, etc. Until the Sheriff caught on and made us quit. I did get a warm place to sleep that one year though. But I had a strange dream that night about being abducted and probed ?

My wife made some traditional Mexican dishes this year that were pretty frickin fantastic.

First was lomo adobado which is a spicy pork tenderloin. I could eat this anytime of the year.

Next was liverwurst mixed with cream cheese. Sounds pretty European so far but she mixed in some chipotles. It's shaped into a ball and coated with chopped walnuts. Put this stuff on a Ritz cracker and I'm in heaven. Imma ask she make this every year.

Last was raspberry jello made with cream cheese and evaporated milk. Pure raspberries and cream flavor. mmmm

Looking forward to many more years of this comida!

Italian's have a tradition of food! Surprised? The 24th is known as the 7 fishes and dinner comprises of, well seafood. Octopus, shrimp, squid, linguini in clam sauce, mussels in a garlic red sauce, whole baked or fried fish, crab legs, and lobster. Then if your colesterolo isn't skyhigh along with your blood pressure the 25th is all meat. Antipasti, brasciole, ragu with ravioli, lamb chops, rib roast, rabbit agro-dolce...and wine!

Needless to say it's a looking day at the table!

cholster... what?

also what region are you from, this sounds similar to my families save the lobster and crab.

On Christmas eve we go to the candlelight service at our church, then the kids get to open one present and we watch Mr. Bean's Christmas episode.
