Thread Name: BS: Christmas traditions
Subject: RE: BS: Christmas traditions
Being a family with a mixed background (and no specific religious orientation), it would seem that this year we will first light Hanukka candles on Christmas eve... Anyway, we also have the 'one present the night before' tradition, although this will be our first holiday with no children at home so it may well turn out differently. Stockings have really always been the big deal...as stuffed as possible, with 3-4 real presents inside and some fun things as well. We open them in bed, and take our time doing it. Other presents over the course of the morning, then roast beef and Yorkshire pudding for dinner.
