What are you holiday traditions?
-
I do stuff with family on the 24th/25th, eating, gifts, etc., then xmas day evening begins "friendsmas", where the whole crew gathers at my neighbor's house for heavy boozing and usually a bonfire. There is always great food and loud music, and it's the best way to decompress after the family stuff.

That sounds like my family minus the boozing. So much fun!

- 06: Nikolaus (just exchanging small gifts, some sweets and maybe getting a table at a good restaurant)
- Decorating the house roughly 2 weeks before Christmas
- Getting the tree the week before Christmas-
- 23: Decorating the tree
- 24: Doing stuff with my family, large family dinner, playing games, ...
- 24: Exchanging gifts at ~9pm
- 25: Another half day with (my) family
- 25: Trying to get home, pumping the stomach (way too much great food and sweets), meeting some very close friends
- 26: Meeting my wifes family
- 27 - 30: Recovering
And like every year, I will try to get in the cellar with my dad to work on some projects. That never works, we'll get interupts every few minutes

We watch White Christmas every year.

I live in Bedford Falls (Seneca Falls) from the movie, It's A Wonderful Life. http://therealbedfordfalls.com/ So in addition to our family traditions, we'll be checking out some of the events down town.

@Mike-Davis That is an actual town? Had no idea.
Never understood why they show It's a Wonderful Life 3 weeks before Christmas.
Awww, 503 error.

@PackMatt73 recommended A Christmas Horry Story. Gonna probably check it out.

My wife watches the live action Grinch movie basically everyday from the day after Thanksgiving until New Years... Other then that our traditions got thrown out the window this year.
Next year we're going all out for Emilia's second Christmas (since she'll know kind of what's going on).

He asked me if I had Netflix, so I'm assuming yes. But I don't know for sure. It's Santa vs Krampus, from what I'm to understand.

He said it was phenomenal. I'm usually inclined to trust him, as his judgment has rarely failed me.

I just checked Netflix, that is the one I saw... and it does look amazing.

On Christmas Eve I watch Die Hard...

Pretty much everyone should be watching Santa's Slay w/ Bill Golberg. Little known fact, he actually met his wife while filming it.

The day I watch this isn't so important, but it is a traditional show in my house... along with Jingle All the Way.

BadfordfallsSeneca Falls is real. Based on where the director traveled and how he had the set designed, most agree that Seneca Falls was his inspiration for the style of the town.
