Great editing, when you changed your jumper - hardly noticed the cut, aside from the picture getting a tiny bit darker - they need you in Hollywood :) .
My favourite christmas tradition was probably the advent calendar my mum made every year, but when she stopped making it, I didn't wanna complain, so.. no more advent calendar:/ Now my favourite tradition is.. I dunno. Watching a Czech Cinderella film on 24th, going to church, eating dinner with my family, unwrapping presents and then playing cards (I'm so happy we started playing cards rather than Scrabble, cuz my mum's a teacher and we don't stand a chance). Ranty ranty rant..
One of my favorite traditions is Christmas PJ's. We get to open one present on Christmas Eve and it's always the pj's, always matching and always super comfy. Now I'm an adult and I still look forward to my Christmas PJ's every year.
I do the same as you! Me and my three best friends all now go to different schools/collages, my best friend actually goes to a boarding school about two hours away now. Getting everyone together at the same time is nearly impossible, especially over two days for a sleepover. But every christmas we make sure that we have a sleepover and watch love Actually.
Me, my parents and my little brother go to Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve and then come home, finish wrapping presents and go to bed. We wake up and all congregate in my parents' room and just chat for like an hour, which is always nice. :) then we, of course, run downstairs and open presents. And then we have breakfast. I love Christmas. :D
On Christmas eve my cousin and I stay up till four in the morning watching Die Hard, and if we have time, Die Hard 2 the next night :) Best Christmas movies ever made.
I've only had 2 christmas's with my parents divorced so we don't really have the same traditions any more but this year we spent christmas day with my dads side of the family and then I had a kind of second christmas today at my mums where she gave us our presents from her and we had a second chrismas lunch, yum!
As I live in Germany the main part is on Christmas Eve. My mother, my sister and I are going to the church, after that we have a small celebration at home, read the christmas story and sing songs, we eat the starter, share the presents and have fondue. The 25th is the relaxed part of the holidays, we enjoy our presents, eat the leftovers and my boyfriend joins us. The 26th we have the tradition with the bigger family to meet in a restaurant to eat and play at skittles. I really like traditions!
My Christmas Eve tradition is staring at the presents that I can't wait to open and swearing that we will wait. And then we cave and unwrap one, or all of them...
Well my Christmas tradition is like plenty of Jews, either seeing a movie or bowling. Also my Hanukkah tradition is a mass game of dreidel. This years winnings $140... I lost in the first round. Btw would you mind checking out my videos? I've just started posting and I'd really appreciate it!
Cheese wiz racing. We use cheese in cans which shoot cheese to propel crackers. Whoever gets theirs off the other side of the table wins. Loser has to clean up
For the longest time, I always wore this one pair of pajamas on Christmas Eve that had reindeer all over it -- I began doing it back when I was like five and wore those same, poor, worn out pajamas until I was like twelve. Now, I watch a Starkid show while wrapping presents for my family every year, usually running from about midnight to 3 AM. :) MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!!!!
My family has a tradition of going to Southern California for Christmas, even though we live in Northern Utah where the best snow in the world lives, because a bunch of my cousins live there. The only time we ever get to see them is when we drive over for Christmas break so we spend the whole time doing crazy things together and catching up.
On Christmas Eve, we always read The Polar Express. We blow a whistle every time the train is mentioned, and ring bells when it talks about Santa's bell. That night, everybody gets to open one gift. Usually I make people open my gift to them because I can't wait to see their reactions.
This year though, my aunt is very sick, so we flew from Toronto to Seattle to visit her. We don't get to do any of our traditions, but it's worth it for me, being with my aunt.
My cousins and I are also extremely close, so every year during Christmas Break we have a giant sleepover at my grandma's house. It's worth noting that most of us are in our twenties, so it's pretty much the best.
I remember when I was younger, probably still in the single digits. I remember the whole family would sit around Christmas Eve watching EVERY SINGLE Christmas movie on TV we'd get to open up one gift that night. And then, me and my step brother use to stay up as long as we can, pressing our ears to the wall saying that "I hear Santa". Christmas morning we'd get up first thing and go wake up our younger siblings, then the 4 of us would go wake up the parents. Stockings would always go first.
Christmas kind of totally changed after my dad died. My traditions basically consist of putting a note on my door warning my oldest sister not to wake me, sleeping, watching nostalgic DVD's & trying not to be so saddened by my dads absense (always fails). We used to always have Christmas dinner at my aunts and I'd hang out with my cousin (who used to be one of my best friends) but that changed too. Wow, this is a sucky comment. I think I need to try and be happier/more festive next year. :/
Christmas eve my whole extended family gets together and eats the most dellicious home made pizza, made by everyone. Then Christmas morning we wake up and open our stockings first, which mostly hold food, eat braided bread, and then open presents:)
The night before Christmas is my favourite. I'm sixteen, I still hang my stocking, put out cookies for Santa, read the Night Before Christmas, then I try to sleep, though this always fails. I end up staying up all night watching movies with my Dad.
My sister and I will usually watch the Muppet Christmas Carol on christmas eve sometime, and purposely eat mostly chocolate so that we can stuff our faces the next day. :p Christmas day is stockings and presents in the morning, visits from/to family, dinner and Doctor Who. I'm going to miss these Christmas countdown videos! They're like compressed Christmas delight in a little two dimentional box every day.
Nowadays my little sister (19 atm) is our Santa and the whole Santa visit is like a huge stand-up gig. It's super hilarious! The Santa costume is super kitch (this year she was a rock styled Santa who lived in Thailand). That's the best part of Christmas. Plus we get the presents right after that and I LOVE to see other's reactions to what I have gotten to them.
Also Christmas food is important. Lots of fish in different ways. And reindeer (yes, we eat it, it's delicious!). Plus ham etc.
Being Swedish I celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve, so it's over now. Sad :( But one of my favourite traditions is watching Donald Duck at 3 pm. They show it on TV and have done for 30 years or something and it is awesome. They always show the same so everyone knows all the lines and yep. It's happy :3 AND AND AND i like it when santa comes and everyone pretends that they don't know that it's dad. It was a good Christmas this year.
Every Christmas Eve, my mum hides 2 Lindtt chocolate santas somewhere in the house for my sister and I to find :) lame tradition, but a tradition nonetheless! And very rewarding ;)
Just an hour and a half until Christmas in the uk!!!! Yay! I spend my Christmas with my mum's side of the family, just close family, and there are still like 20 people!
My brother and I always wake up super early and run into my sisters room and jump on her bed until she kicks us out. Then all three of us huddle by the stairs, out of sight of the tree as our parents set up the coffee and lights and presents for us to open. Its really fun because both of my siblings are now in college, while I just entered high school, and me and my brother both get really exited on christmas morning-its one of the few times when he and I feel really really close.
On Christmas day both sides of my family get together and after lunch we have a huge present-opening ceremony that always goes on for several hours as we open one present at a time. And then we have a huge Jewfood buffet for dinner (yes, a mere few hours after Christmas lunch) and my grandad plays his accordion and my brother plays the piana and my grandpa does a silly dance XD
I am actually sad that christmas is tomorrow, now I wont get a video from you everyday plus the joy of the season dies down (of course) when christmas day is over because everything leads up to christmas and when its gone I feel empty-like there is nothing to look forward to anymore...
Two of my best friends and I always get together a little before Christmas to exchange gifts and cookies and take silly pictures with someone looking like a castrated reindeer. Today, I got out and noticed a bunch of people on the city square so you could barely walk past them. Here, we spend the family time by running away from said families because it usually includes tedious lunches (and/or dinners) with relatives you've never seen (and/or want dead). Works well. XD
I'm Danish, so we have a celebration on Christmas Eve night. It is at my aunts (dads family) house. One of the quirky traditions we have at dinner is we each eat one of the little chocolates, Ferrero Rocher. (the sphere chocolates in gold foil). With the foil we each make a little wine glass, and have a friendly competition for who can make the best looking foil wineglass.
On christmas morning we do much of the same things as your family. Christmas night is another dinner with my mom's family.
Literally watching this in the hour before I'm allowed to wake anyone up :P I'm like you and always wake up first, and I'm super impatient and have the mental age of a 6 year old, so my mum has specifically said I'm not allowed to wake anybody up until 6am. It's now just turned 5am. =_=
My sister and I always get up really early on Christmas and we have to wait until what ever time my parents said we could wake them up. Then we go to our parents' room and we open our stockings. Then we go downstairs to open the rest of our presents.
the rest of it said "we have cake. We wait til my brothers gone to bed as he's allergic to milk and egg so it's safer to wait til he's not around to accidentally pick anything up."
Christmas Eve's my moms birthday, so we get up, make my mom breakfast in bed then we all go to the front room and she opens her presents and we have a party at lunch time and for the last six years me and my older brother have looked after my little brother and set out a tray for Santa and Rudolph while my step dad takes my mom out for a meal in the evening, then we put my brother to bed, read him a story and get the house ready for Christmas day until my mom and step dad get home then we have
Being Australian my Christmas has always been somewhat 'untraditional' - today we are looking forward to a beautiful 30 ºC day (86 ºF) for starters.
My whole family is scattered across Victoria and Christmas is really the only time we are all together. Christmas has always been held at my Grandparents house with an early dinner eaten outside, then the tradition of a lethal, long, arduous Boys vs Girls Trivial Pursuit match continues - which the girls always win, I'm proud to say.
We really don't have "traditions" even though what we do we do every year.. makes me determined to have great traditions someday when I start a family of my own.
Christmas always starts with me waking up before anyone else, and opening my socking-( it hangs on the back of my door) then usually I'd go back to bed for a while and then go downstairs with my mum and dad when they're up-but this year i'm getting up earlier to go to my new church that i've found and love-and then yes, becuase i'm english, queen speech time after dinner :D I know that one of my presents is a ravenclaw scarf-very excited about that :D
Generally, on Christmas Eve, I try to start the tradition of opening one present on Christmas Eve, but get shot down by my parents. That itself has become a tradition. XD But I think that we might start watching the Harry Potter movies, starting on the Christmas Eve's Eve to Christmas day. Mainly because Christmas is such a large part of the series, but rarely noticed.
And when you said you were Padfoot, i immediately thought, "That means you're dead!"
Every christmas eve we get our first present, and its always pajamas. It probably sounds pretty lame, but we've been doing it for as long as I can remember, and, also, I quite like pajamas.
Also, since we have some german in us, we started this german tradition a few years ago where someone hides a pickle ornament in the tree, and christmas day everyone else tries to find it. Also a little odd, but thats okay.
Every Christmas Eve evening my family goes over to a family friend's house. They have two daughters, one of which used to be my BEST friend. As we've gotten older our tastes have become drastically different and we hardly ever talk anymore. It's really nice to just go over there for Christmas and forget our differences to have fun with our families. It's definitely one tradition that I never want to change.
We don't really have a tradition to go by besides dinner, opening presents, and generally spending time with relatives, but the best celebration was probably the one we had a couple of years ago, when we made horrible cookies and ate them anyway, sat on top of the car and watched the fireworks, went to the beach, it was the first year we didn't go to church and haven't gone since (kinda a relief, seeing as I'm an Atheist), and I got to see my stepsister for the first time ever.
Every Christmas Eve my family watches The Christmas Story before we go to bed. And then my grandmother always comes over Christmas morning so we can open presents, then Christmas evening we all go to my older brother's house. This year we have the added cousin who now lives close by, and the Doctor Who Christmas Special :D (But that's just my thing, my family doesn't care about that.)
I'm Jewish so my Christmas tradition is ordering Chinese food and going to see a movie because those are the only 2 places open. However this year no good movies seem to be coming out so I'll probably end up watching Buffy instead.
I'm jewish so my christmas tradition is being happy there is no school, watching the Doctor Who Christmas special, and if it coincides with hanukkah (which this year it does) light the candles and open a present. But I hope you have a merry christmas!
My best friends and I are having "Friendsmas", which is basically just each of us cooking a portion of a traditional Christmas dinner, then getting together and eating, playing games, building gingerbread houses, and watching movies. :)
Our Christmas tradition: My brother always used to get up super early, then my parents, then finally my dad would be like 'Ok, time to get up, it's Christmas!' (I like sleep a lot)
But now we get up roughly at the same time, open presents, then do nothing much until Christmas dinner and then we watch the Doctor Who Christmas Special (Or I do anyway) :D
In my family we have a tradition that my brothers and I open the presents we got for each other on Christmas Eve, before we go to mass. It's great because then instead of doing all the "Oh my gosh thank you"s all on one day, we can get some of them out of the way.
Just so you know, my family is really big (I have over 100 family members just on my dad's side) so that's why there are so many thank yous to be done.
My family hates christmas, so there's a lot of complaining and wine. Divorced and fighting parents, no christmas tree... Me and my sister are the only ones who get excited. But hey, we've still got each other. I envy you though!
I spend Christmas with my close family on my mum's side (like her parents, brothers, sisters) and there's always loooaaadds of people! 3 younger cousins, 2 older cousins, 3 aunts, 3 uncles, my parents and my grandparents. Also my 2 older cousins' boyfriends and my uncle's fiancé. My mum had 4 siblings, you see :-)
on christmas eve my mom bakes all the desserts while my brother and I make a million sugar cookies, then my mom, sister, brother, grandma and I all pile into our cars and go out and eat chinese food :) I like this tradition because it's jst really random, to go out to eat chinese the night before christmas. But this year while we make cookies my brother and I will be glued to BBCAM watching Doctor who!!! But i have to wait till 9pm chirstmas day to watch the christmas special :( Merry Christmas!
I always spend christmas eve afternoon with my best friend and then head home for dinner and It's a Wonderful Life with family. Christmas morning me and my brother always wake up early to watch infomertials and wait for my parents to wake up :)
We always have candle lit baths on Christmas Eve to relax. In the morning my brother opens his stocking without waiting for me, but my sister and I open ours together and we go wake up my parents and we go down to the tree and open all of the presents. Then my siblings and I watch Doctor Who later and have the best Christmas dinner ever :)
Every Christmas morning, I go into my brothers room at about half six to open our stockings :} it's been the same forever, and it's one of the best parts of Christmas for me ^_^
My family eats Crepes for dinner on Christmas Eve, then goes to mass and comes home for opening presents around the tree and reading "Twas the Night Before Christmas. Christmas morning we make the Christmas dinner and our family friends (who are from Brazil and have no nearby family) come to stay. Then me, my sister, and the two girls from the other family make a gigantic Gingerbread Village that takes up an entire table, then we all eat an amazing meal all together, followed by caroling.
Yesterday was Christmas Adam and I forgot! (Adam came before Eve)
We celebrate on the 24th Scandinavian style and open presents after dinner. Stockings we open on Christmas Day, which is just a nice, slow, lazy time.
On christmas eve ,my mum , my brother and I have a birthday party :) Every second year i alternate between morning at mums or dads and the evening and diner in the evening , its not very traditional :D
Well on Christmas Eve in our town everyone gathers in the town centre to sing carols- there's a band who play and we all get trampled and there's often a drunk guy or 2. Last time there were a couple of teenage boys who were on each other's shoulders, shirtless, in the snow. but we always go there however rubbish it actually is, then go to my favourite restaurant for tea. We get up really early on Christmas Day to open presents, then spend the next week or so seeing different parts of the family
I'm Norwegian, so we celebrate our Christmas today (24th). I really love the build-up during the day as we clean a little and I start to smell the Christmas meal coming together. At about 4 we will go to church for a service where different families perform different Christmas songs, then we will go home and have our Christmas dinner (which is different from most others and I love it) and after that we open presents :)
i celebrate on the 24th as well. usually we had my grandparents over but this year it's just me and my family and my mum always cooks something delicious and afterwards we sing traditional christmas carols and lighten our tree before finally opening our presents. and afterwards we eat christmas cookies.
I live in the UK so our traditions are pretty similar. I'm an only child, and all of my aunts and uncles either live really far away or have huge families themselves, so I spend Christmas at home with my parents, just us. On Christmas Eve we go to Midnight Mass. I'm not religious but the atmosphere's lovely. We then go home and drink baileys and eat cookies and go to bed. Christmas morning I'm always up early. We have smoked salmon + wine and then put some music on and open presents together.
Nice video, nice to hear different traditions!..In my case, I am from South america and well I am a little disappointed because I have never watched a christmas movie in which it's summer time. they are aaaall about snow and things like you tell. But in here it's kinda different! we open presents at midnight,when the day turns to 25 at 12 o'clock. And we gather with family before and after that and also we go to church. we eat pan dulce! haha and well that's just a little about my traditions..
My brother leaves out some milk and mince pies for the big man and some Reindeer 'food'.Then we all go to bed.Then Christmas morning we unwrap our gifts (me & my bro then the parents) then that's it until dinner (this year anyway) at dinner my dad's side of the family come over for dinner (it changes every year; this year my dad's side come on the big day) they leave late at night and then on boxing day my mum's side of the family come (dinner, gifts etc.) that's the @MrBb100000 family Xmas :)
Dad gets up first to start the Christmas dinner early and then I go into my sister's room who (she's 22 now) still gets me to wake her up early. Then the rest of the family get up and we all get a cup of tea because we're English like that, bring it into the living room and open presents one at a time so it lasts for ages. Then we have an awesome breakfast and the house is in a mess but no one cares and it's so good :D And of course we have to watch the DW Christmas special and Harry Potter :D
My Christmas revolves around the Doctor Who Christmas Episode, so I'm usually looking forward to that the whole day, and then after it's finished I get really depressed and go and play with the used wrapping paper.
Oh yeah, and being British, we always watch the Queen's Christmas Speech, only last year I couldn't concentrate because the wreath on the table was on fire.
@ajisatimelord Wow I didn't know that many people actually watched that any more. I don't know anyone who watches the Queen's speech. Usually I'm watching Elf or something instead XD
This afternoon on Christmas Eve, I'm going to the Cinema with my family and our friends to watch Arthur Christmas as every year we watch a Christmas film and then have something to eat. It's really lovely and just makes Christmas feel special.
Then on Christmas Day, me and my sister's wake my parents up and open our presents then later our Grandma comes round and we have Christmas dinner with her and give her presents and she gives us some and then later we watch Doctor Who.
My family is from a muslim I origin, but we literally do nothing to do with that religion.....so my family kinda suck at that, but every Christmas my family opens presents, get together with relatives and eat a big dinner, normal stuff, just cos we like the spirit of what Christmas is all about....the being kind and such :) My aunt and cousins are now in London (which is where I live) and it's great cos they are never here :D
What happens is that we wake up at 8ish, me and my sisters open our stockings :) Then we might do a bit of last minute tidying, then we open one present under the tree, then me and my parents go to Church, then at 1ish my grandparents come and we all sit down and talk for aaaaggges, then at 3/4 we have Christmas dinner. after that I have to wait for my grandparents to nap and for people to have coffee and then FINALLY we get to open our presents :)
My parents ALWAYS have to go into the living room to 'check' that Santa has been and left presants, even though me and my Brother are both teenagers :')
My parents being divorced never really bothered me, except for Christmas. My siblings live with my dad and I live with my mum. So on Christmas morning it's basically just me opening presents. And I can't see my siblings and my dad till late afternoon :(
Me, my sister, my grandma and my grandad always used to go the theatre to see a Christmas play, whether it was Cinderella, Snow White or Sleeping Beauty but we havent been for the last couple of years because my sister is now 18 and she feels like shes too old to go, I however am 15 and I still would love to go! So instead me,my sister, my mam and dad all watch The Grinch or Santa Claus on Christmas Eve!
when i was younger me an my brother went to my grans house on christmas eve and got a present from her christmas tree :) also every christmas eve i watch santa claus the movie. on christmas day i wake everyone up at 6 30 and we go and open our presents go o church and all my grandparents come down for dinner. on boxing day we always go to my cousins and all of my mums side of the family are there and we end up singing crazy songs and getting hyper :)
My Christmas day is very similar to yours. I wake up at like, 5 in the morning and lay awake until about 7-ish when I wake my brother up and we go into my mum's room and open our stockings. Then we'll go downstairs and gather in the living room and put on one of the many music channels that are playing awful Christmas music and we'll spend about half an hour giving the presents to the right people and then we'll all open our presents in turns. And then we have Christmas lunch and watch Dr Who.
For us we have dinner with family friends on Christmas eve and then we go to midnight mass, come home and open presents then sleep. The next day the whole family will come over from both parents side (and may I just say my parents are Greek and phillipino) so there is a lot of us and a lot if food. We sing karaoke, open presents, and eat a lot. So these are the things that have never changed for my Christmas down under (except for last year when I was in the children's hospital over Christmas)
On Christmas day me and my brothers don't actually get stockings we just get a small present after whilst having christmas dinner. Another thing is this year we are having pork, instead of turkey as known of us actually like turkey and we always have to have our breakfast before we can open our presents. Also i always remember watching the film "Chocolat" or "Bridget Jones Dairy" on christmas eve, which is annoyingly not on tv this year.
In Denmark we celebrate ALL the christmas on christmas eve. In my family, we eat pork and duck and sugarpotatoes and red cabbage, and for dessert this sort of rice-pudding with vanilla and almonds and cherry sauce. It's all delicious. Then we dance around the christmas tree while singing christmas songs, and then we open our presents. This year it's just going to be me and my parents, because we don't have a lot of family, but my big brothers and their children will come for christmas lunch soon
At night on Christmas eve me and my little brother always get new pyjamas, bath bomb and sometimes a book, this has happened for as long as I can remember! On Christmas day I wake up early and wait for my little brother to wake up we then stay upstairs to open our stockings. My dad then goes downstairs first to turn the fire on etc me, my mam and brother then follow and that's when we open our presents. My mam and grandma take turns making Christmas dinner ( this year it's my mams turn) we then
We celebrate on Christmas Eve.. so today. We usually celebrate at home but our guest changes for year to year, traditions involve being yelled at by my mother for watching the annual christmas stuff on tv instead of helping her all the time and going to church... though both traditions are being broken as I'm writing this x) We also open our presents around 10 pm, because it takes forever until everyone is finished eating and my mum always insist on cleaning up.
My absolute favourite Christmas tradition is Christmas morning, and opening presents. People always misunderstand when I say that and they think I'm being materialistic, but it's not just about the "getting stuff." It's the anticipation, the excitement. Wondering what's inside that weird shaped present under the tree. The magic of waking up to a full stocking, even though you know it was just your parents who filled it up. It doesn't even matter WHAT the gifts are - I just love the magical feel
christmas is the time when my whole family is together, because all of us live in different places now. on christmas eve we always eat together in the evening, then sing some christmas songs and then open the presents (i'm from germany so we do things a bit differently than in the us).
on the first day of christmas we have lunch together with the family and on the second day we meet up with our relatives and head to a restaurant to have dinner together :)
My fave Christmas tradition is going to my aunt's on Boxing Day with the whole of my dad's family to play silly board games like Articulate and Charades and eat Christmas leftovers and trifle. Another (almost) tradition for my family is that my brother wakes up at about 3 in the morning every Christmas and eats any chocolate he gets in his stocking and then goes back to sleep. This year's gonna be weird though because it's my first Christmas ever at home rather than my granny's.
My granny and grandad come stay with us every Christimas. They come 'round on christmas eve and we all have steak and chips for dinner & then we go into the sitting room and all sing christmas carols (we have an electric organ that my dad plays so it's all very loud) and then read the 'twas the night before christmas poem' before we go to bed. It's one of my favourite christmas traditions :)
We have acts. Like, every family (in our extended family) has to have an act. We open gifts at midnight because we're not patient people :p Me and my nieces and nephews try to stay up all night and by the time the sun comes up, we always end up watching one of the Harry Potter movies or the movie extra's. And then we fall asleep on the couch. Yup! ^^ Christmas is definately the best time of the year!
I have a lot of siblings (5 younger 1 older and 1 opposite sex twin) so on Christmas morning it's a rule that we can't go and sit on my mum and dads bed and open our stockings till 7, so I get all my little sisters and even my 10 year old brother comes in to MY room and I tell them Christmas stories and we feel our presents to see what they are then if my sister and her son is over he'll toddle into my room with a stocking which is twice his size under his arm and we'll just wait till 7 am. Tha
My brother comes around in the morning and opens presents, we have Christmas dinner and then the in laws come around in the evening. Our family isn't too fond of Christmas though I feel :/
Every year me and my family play the Frustration board game. Everyone in my family (including me) is REALLY competitive and so the game usually goes through many alliances, break ups, treaties, betrayals, tantrums, etc. xD
We celebrate on Christmas Eve in the typical Swedish way: spend the morning cooking, guests (grandpa, aunt and my mother's cousin) arrive at 2 pm, at 3 pm we watch "Donald Duck's Christmas" (an hour-long Disney Christmas special that has aired on Swedish TV every Christmas Eve since the 60's) and then we eat a Christmas smorgasbord with classic Swedish dishes such as meatballs and gravad lax. After that we "fikar" (drink coffee, eat cookies and chill), and then we open our presents. :)
Omg!!! And THE GRUFFALO!!!!!! New Xmas tradition as of 2009!!! They play it on bbc1 every year it is the essence of my childhood most awesome book ever and now with JAMES CORDEN!!!!!!! This year it's the gruffalos child :O cant wait
Going caroling with family down our road, half the road go caroling half stay in so we have someone to Carol to, it's fun, a little cold and long but the last house gives us mulled wine and minced pies. My girl friends coming this year too :D
Also we have our roast turkey. We find christmas lunch easy because we have a roast lunch every week so it's just that with a few things added on. We have Christmas music playing as we unwrap presents I'm always the one waiting by the tree for everyone to finish making their tea, and we always get our christmas tree so late that we end up going to about 5 different places till we find our perfect tree. (we have the same type every year- rule: it has to be taller than my dad 6'5") we play with o
Well every year my sister has to come sleep in my room because my Nana has to sleep in hers. This year she was offered to sleep in the basement (TV room) but she said no, because it wouldn't be the same not to wake up to the sound of me feeling through my stocking at 3am and then again, trying to unwrap them somewhat quietly at 6am.
We usually have a lot of our family round, so it's very busy. One of my grandparents is German, so we spend a lot of time before Christmas making christmas biscuits, and then she'll give us our presents on the 24th and then we'll eat around the table in our music room that we get out at Christmas. We go to bed and then we open our stockings at 8ish. Then, when everyone's ready, the kids get the presents from under the tree & open them. After comes dinner. This year's only us though :)
Every year since about 2002 my sister and I have watched the same 4 pantomimes in the week leading up to Christmas as they are always shown on itv2. On Christmas eve we watch all four of them. We can quote them! Sadly this year they changed the time they showed Dick Wittington so we missed it but it's being showed again today so it's fine!
Here in Germany we celebrate on the 24th. In 5 hours my aunts and their families are going to come. then we have tea and coffe, cake and cookies. at 5, those who want go to church and the others are staying here, laying out the presents and doing the last preperations. then christmas story reading and perhaps a bit of singing, after that opening of the presents and then a big dinner with different course from each of my aunts.
I don't have any traditions, my mum and dad are split, so we just make seeing both of them fit, and it ends up different every year, but the Doctor Who special is a thing..
I'm trying to make watching the Graham Norton show (Christmas special) a thing for like a few days before Christmas (depending on where the Friday is in relation to Christmas Day) and the Doctor Who Christmas Special on Christmas Day *takes breath*, a tradition :) My family and I went to our friends' house last year and we watched the Doctor Who Christmas Special and it was really lovely :)
(Also I agree with the Taylor Swift dispute you had on Twitter, the arena is no place for a pop-princess)
I wake up super early and open my presents with my mum, sister and stepdad where it has become tradition to film the opening of the presents. Then I go to my dads house and have breakfast with mini pizzas, hotdogs etc... It is also tradition to have chocolate covered grapes. It is basically a hogwarts feast for breakfast!!!
Christmas has always been about family for me. We don't have a tree this year, and only the kids really get presents. We do do this fun secret santa game thing with the adults, but it all happens after our christmas lunch when we are all lethargic and full.
On Christmas eve my brother and I make marzipan figures for the top of the Christmas cake, then we'll make mince pies and leave a mince pie and a glass of wine out for Santa and a carrot for Rudolph even though no-one in the house believes in them any more. On Christmas day we don't have any family over and we don't go anywhere (we see the family before Christmas), and we don't open any presents until everyone's had breakfast and got ready.
I'm from Sweden, where we celebrate Christmas on the 24th, meaning that I am in the midst of preparing everything right now. Family will show up in about two hours and then it will be a full house, opening presents around 4. But not to forget we have to watch the annual Donald Duck and friends Christmas episode at 3. People will hang around for however long they feel like but most people stay until around 6-7.
I've already opened my stocking this morning, and I got a magazine this year!
I'm from NZ so in 56 minutes it's christmas day! It's summer here now n on Christmas eve my dads side would go to my grandparents koz my grandad Austrian n have supper n do our presents from them n then on Christmas morning we get up n open our presents together as a family then go to which ever family is hosting it for the days house.
On Christmas Eve, I help my mum with making mince pies and sausage rolls. In the evening, my brother and I play duets for carols on the violin, and my mum and dad sing along. We go upstairs and I read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' and go to sleep. On Christmas we open stockings before breakfast and presents afterwards. Every few years, every person in my mum's side of the family stays at one of my aunt's house; 5 uncles, 6 aunts, 14 cousins, grandma, some 2nd cousins + cousins once removed.
Living in Australia means christmas is hot so as a child i'd wake up with my sister and opening presents (stocking can be opened without parents) then whilst its still early and the heat is slowly creeping in my sister and i sometimes accompanied by cozens go down to the beach and just soak up the sun, really just getting out of parents hair who are getting the christmas lunch ready. Tim Minchin's White wine in the sun never has been more appropriate for my Christmas experience.
Xmas morning we wake up at 7, open presents with xmas tunes on, I always go first. Even though I'm an adult. Yeah. Then we visit all the families and stop at one, not sure which as every year we pick a different household to host our xmas, this year it's us.
On Christmas Eve the tradition with the family was always to go to a really late showing of a film at the cinema so that we'd be tired and would go straight to bed when we got back home rather than staying up and getting hyper waiting for Santa. Always thought that was a smart tradition!
We celebrate Christmas on the 24th. We also have this thing called 'little Christmas eve' on the 23rd, my family usually have coffee and lots of cookies and treats at my grandparents'. On Christmas eve we don't have any particular morning traditions, but at 3 pm there's the ~Disney Christmas special~ on TV and that's when you know it's Christmas. In the evening my grandparents come by and we have Christmas dinner (80% meat lol /vegetarian) and then we open our presents!
Every year when we're decorating the tree, we always put a piece on from last years christmas trees. Also on our tree are toy hulks, a safety plug socket and a single earring.
Every year we all up up around the same time, 8am to 8:30ish - me and my sister open up our Father Christmas sacks (they smell of Christmas, it's great) then we all have breakfast (toast, french bread, proper butter, jam, it's lovely) Then we all open our under the tree presents. If we get any clothing from them we shower and change into them :)
In my country we celebrate on Christmas Eve, so me and my family exchange gifts on the evening of the 24th, while listening to ancient gaelic christmas music and cracking nuts. Then, on the 25th, we celebrate "traditional christmas" because we're part British. That mainly involves home made mince pies and obscene amounts of turkey with stuffing. Can't wait! :D
Every year, without fail, on Christmas Eve my mother, my brother and sister (who is now past 20) and myself all cuddle up in my younger brothers bed and read The Night Before Christmas. My brother is getting to the stage now where he thinks he's "too cool" for it, but he'll have that book read to him if I have to strap him to the bed :p
On christmas eve we always go to mass at 11 get out about 12:30 and then go home and open presents. I don't know why..we've always opened presents at midnight on Christmas eve. It might be a Mexican thing..also on Christmas eve me and my sisters make buñuelos, they're like deep fried tortillas covered in sugar and stuff:)
my sister and i always bake cookies on christmas eve. well i guess it's actually christmas day given the time of night we bake them, after our parents go to bed. despite the fact that she's 18 and i'm 20, i'm still anticipating that she'll come running into my room to wake me up at 7 am... we open our stockings and then wait patiently for my grandparents to come over before opening presents. we'll get hungry and eat our terry's chocolate oranges haha then after presents,eggs benedict for brunch!
On christmas morning, none of us are allowed to go down stairs apart from my mum, so my mum make tea and brings it upstairs and me, my mm, my brother and dad have tea in my mum and dads bed and then we all go down stars and open presents and it's nice:D
I celebrate christmas on christmas eve, which is now, because i live in sweden! so very soon I will go to my uncles house for some christmas celebrations.
We always eat chinese food on christmas eve then we would usually go to church and come home and have tea and cookies and open our pyjama presents. And though my siblings and I are all proper teens, we still all pile on to my sister's bed to read The Night Before Christmas. The first person up gets to wake the other two up and we wait for our parents to come and get us. After presents, we eat Christmas Pie and go over to our grandparent's house for fun stuff and dinner :)
christmas traditions: 1. the tree is mine, no one touches the tree, 2. eat baked pumpkin while watching The Sound of music, Pride and Prejudice(1995) and David Copperfield 3. going to my best friends place, exchange presents, play christmas songs badly on the guitar while singing along 5.spend sunday with my grandparents talking about childhood memories and eating with the family 6.and this i usually do alone, rewatch all the harry potter movies
I spend morning with my parents, opening stockings and then presents in order of least awesome to most awesome (according to the other people who know what our presents are), and then the afternoon with my boyfriend and his family. (:
where i live it´s only 10 hours to christmas because we open our presents on chrismas eve (24th)
what i find curisous about christmas is that i know what i´m going to eat for the next 3 days now. and also when i´m going to eat it and who will be at the table. very different from the rest of the year :)
I have that Christmas Jumper too!!! :D

My favourite christmas tradition was probably the advent calendar my mum made every year, but when she stopped making it, I didn't wanna complain, so.. no more advent calendar:/ Now my favourite tradition is.. I dunno. Watching a Czech Cinderella film on 24th, going to church, eating dinner with my family, unwrapping presents and then playing cards (I'm so happy we started playing cards rather than Scrabble, cuz my mum's a teacher and we don't stand a chance). Ranty ranty rant..

I do the same as you! Me and my three best friends all now go to different schools/collages, my best friend actually goes to a boarding school about two hours away now. Getting everyone together at the same time is nearly impossible, especially over two days for a sleepover. But every christmas we make sure that we have a sleepover and watch love Actually.

Me, my parents and my little brother go to Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve and then come home, finish wrapping presents and go to bed. We wake up and all congregate in my parents' room and just chat for like an hour, which is always nice. :) then we, of course, run downstairs and open presents. And then we have breakfast. I love Christmas. :D

As I live in Germany the main part is on Christmas Eve. My mother, my sister and I are going to the church, after that we have a small celebration at home, read the christmas story and sing songs, we eat the starter, share the presents and have fondue. The 25th is the relaxed part of the holidays, we enjoy our presents, eat the leftovers and my boyfriend joins us. The 26th we have the tradition with the bigger family to meet in a restaurant to eat and play at skittles. I really like traditions!

For the longest time, I always wore this one pair of pajamas on Christmas Eve that had reindeer all over it -- I began doing it back when I was like five and wore those same, poor, worn out pajamas until I was like twelve. Now, I watch a Starkid show while wrapping presents for my family every year, usually running from about midnight to 3 AM. :) MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!!!!

My family has a tradition of going to Southern California for Christmas, even though we live in Northern Utah where the best snow in the world lives, because a bunch of my cousins live there. The only time we ever get to see them is when we drive over for Christmas break so we spend the whole time doing crazy things together and catching up.

On Christmas Eve, we always read The Polar Express. We blow a whistle every time the train is mentioned, and ring bells when it talks about Santa's bell. That night, everybody gets to open one gift. Usually I make people open my gift to them because I can't wait to see their reactions.
This year though, my aunt is very sick, so we flew from Toronto to Seattle to visit her. We don't get to do any of our traditions, but it's worth it for me, being with my aunt.

I remember when I was younger, probably still in the single digits. I remember the whole family would sit around Christmas Eve watching EVERY SINGLE Christmas movie on TV we'd get to open up one gift that night. And then, me and my step brother use to stay up as long as we can, pressing our ears to the wall saying that "I hear Santa". Christmas morning we'd get up first thing and go wake up our younger siblings, then the 4 of us would go wake up the parents. Stockings would always go first.

Christmas kind of totally changed after my dad died. My traditions basically consist of putting a note on my door warning my oldest sister not to wake me, sleeping, watching nostalgic DVD's & trying not to be so saddened by my dads absense (always fails). We used to always have Christmas dinner at my aunts and I'd hang out with my cousin (who used to be one of my best friends) but that changed too. Wow, this is a sucky comment. I think I need to try and be happier/more festive next year. :/

Nowadays my little sister (19 atm) is our Santa and the whole Santa visit is like a huge stand-up gig. It's super hilarious! The Santa costume is super kitch (this year she was a rock styled Santa who lived in Thailand). That's the best part of Christmas. Plus we get the presents right after that and I LOVE to see other's reactions to what I have gotten to them.
Also Christmas food is important. Lots of fish in different ways. And reindeer (yes, we eat it, it's delicious!). Plus ham etc.

Being Swedish I celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve, so it's over now. Sad :( But one of my favourite traditions is watching Donald Duck at 3 pm. They show it on TV and have done for 30 years or something and it is awesome. They always show the same so everyone knows all the lines and yep. It's happy :3 AND AND AND i like it when santa comes and everyone pretends that they don't know that it's dad. It was a good Christmas this year.

My brother and I always wake up super early and run into my sisters room and jump on her bed until she kicks us out. Then all three of us huddle by the stairs, out of sight of the tree as our parents set up the coffee and lights and presents for us to open. Its really fun because both of my siblings are now in college, while I just entered high school, and me and my brother both get really exited on christmas morning-its one of the few times when he and I feel really really close.

On Christmas day both sides of my family get together and after lunch we have a huge present-opening ceremony that always goes on for several hours as we open one present at a time. And then we have a huge Jewfood buffet for dinner (yes, a mere few hours after Christmas lunch) and my grandad plays his accordion and my brother plays the piana and my grandpa does a silly dance XD

Two of my best friends and I always get together a little before Christmas to exchange gifts and cookies and take silly pictures with someone looking like a castrated reindeer. Today, I got out and noticed a bunch of people on the city square so you could barely walk past them. Here, we spend the family time by running away from said families because it usually includes tedious lunches (and/or dinners) with relatives you've never seen (and/or want dead). Works well. XD

I'm Danish, so we have a celebration on Christmas Eve night. It is at my aunts (dads family) house. One of the quirky traditions we have at dinner is we each eat one of the little chocolates, Ferrero Rocher. (the sphere chocolates in gold foil). With the foil we each make a little wine glass, and have a friendly competition for who can make the best looking foil wineglass.
On christmas morning we do much of the same things as your family. Christmas night is another dinner with my mom's family.

Being Australian my Christmas has always been somewhat 'untraditional' - today we are looking forward to a beautiful 30 ºC day (86 ºF) for starters.
My whole family is scattered across Victoria and Christmas is really the only time we are all together. Christmas has always been held at my Grandparents house with an early dinner eaten outside, then the tradition of a lethal, long, arduous Boys vs Girls Trivial Pursuit match continues - which the girls always win, I'm proud to say.

Generally, on Christmas Eve, I try to start the tradition of opening one present on Christmas Eve, but get shot down by my parents. That itself has become a tradition.

Mainly because Christmas is such a large part of the series, but rarely noticed.

Every christmas eve we get our first present, and its always pajamas. It probably sounds pretty lame, but we've been doing it for as long as I can remember, and, also, I quite like pajamas.
Also, since we have some german in us, we started this german tradition a few years ago where someone hides a pickle ornament in the tree, and christmas day everyone else tries to find it. Also a little odd, but thats okay.

Every Christmas Eve evening my family goes over to a family friend's house. They have two daughters, one of which used to be my BEST friend. As we've gotten older our tastes have become drastically different and we hardly ever talk anymore. It's really nice to just go over there for Christmas and forget our differences to have fun with our families. It's definitely one tradition that I never want to change.

We don't really have a tradition to go by besides dinner, opening presents, and generally spending time with relatives, but the best celebration was probably the one we had a couple of years ago, when we made horrible cookies and ate them anyway, sat on top of the car and watched the fireworks, went to the beach, it was the first year we didn't go to church and haven't gone since (kinda a relief, seeing as I'm an Atheist), and I got to see my stepsister for the first time ever.

In my family we have a tradition that my brothers and I open the presents we got for each other on Christmas Eve, before we go to mass. It's great because then instead of doing all the "Oh my gosh thank you"s all on one day, we can get some of them out of the way.
Just so you know, my family is really big (I have over 100 family members just on my dad's side) so that's why there are so many thank yous to be done.

Well on Christmas Eve in our town everyone gathers in the town centre to sing carols- there's a band who play and we all get trampled and there's often a drunk guy or 2. Last time there were a couple of teenage boys who were on each other's shoulders, shirtless, in the snow. but we always go there however rubbish it actually is, then go to my favourite restaurant for tea. We get up really early on Christmas Day to open presents, then spend the next week or so seeing different parts of the family

I'm Norwegian, so we celebrate our Christmas today (24th). I really love the build-up during the day as we clean a little and I start to smell the Christmas meal coming together. At about 4 we will go to church for a service where different families perform different Christmas songs, then we will go home and have our Christmas dinner (which is different from most others and I love it) and after that we open presents :)
Best day ever! Merry Christmas to you!

I'm an only child, and all of my aunts and uncles either live really far away or have huge families themselves, so I spend Christmas at home with my parents, just us. On Christmas Eve we go to Midnight Mass. I'm not religious but the atmosphere's lovely. We then go home and drink baileys and eat cookies and go to bed. Christmas morning I'm always up early. We have smoked salmon + wine and then put some music on and open presents together.

Nice video, nice to hear different traditions!..In my case, I am from South america and well I am a little disappointed because I have never watched a christmas movie in which it's summer time. they are aaaall about snow and things like you tell. But in here it's kinda different! we open presents at midnight,when the day turns to 25 at 12 o'clock. And we gather with family before and after that and also we go to church. we eat pan dulce! haha and well that's just a little about my traditions..

My brother leaves out some milk and mince pies for the big man and some Reindeer 'food'.Then we all go to bed.Then Christmas morning we unwrap our gifts (me & my bro then the parents) then that's it until dinner (this year anyway) at dinner my dad's side of the family come over for dinner (it changes every year; this year my dad's side come on the big day) they leave late at night and then on boxing day my mum's side of the family come (dinner, gifts etc.) that's the @MrBb100000 family Xmas :)

Dad gets up first to start the Christmas dinner early and then I go into my sister's room who (she's 22 now) still gets me to wake her up early. Then the rest of the family get up and we all get a cup of tea because we're English like that, bring it into the living room and open presents one at a time so it lasts for ages. Then we have an awesome breakfast and the house is in a mess but no one cares and it's so good :D And of course we have to watch the DW Christmas special and Harry Potter :D

My Christmas revolves around the Doctor Who Christmas Episode, so I'm usually looking forward to that the whole day, and then after it's finished I get really depressed and go and play with the used wrapping paper.
Oh yeah, and being British, we always watch the Queen's Christmas Speech, only last year I couldn't concentrate because the wreath on the table was on fire.

My family is from a muslim I origin, but we literally do nothing to do with that religion.....so my family kinda suck at that, but every Christmas my family opens presents, get together with relatives and eat a big dinner, normal stuff, just cos we like the spirit of what Christmas is all about....the being kind and such :) My aunt and cousins are now in London (which is where I live) and it's great cos they are never here :D

What happens is that we wake up at 8ish, me and my sisters open our stockings :) Then we might do a bit of last minute tidying, then we open one present under the tree, then me and my parents go to Church, then at 1ish my grandparents come and we all sit down and talk for aaaaggges, then at 3/4 we have Christmas dinner. after that I have to wait for my grandparents to nap and for people to have coffee and then FINALLY we get to open our presents :)

My Christmas day is very similar to yours. I wake up at like, 5 in the morning and lay awake until about 7-ish when I wake my brother up and we go into my mum's room and open our stockings. Then we'll go downstairs and gather in the living room and put on one of the many music channels that are playing awful Christmas music and we'll spend about half an hour giving the presents to the right people and then we'll all open our presents in turns. And then we have Christmas lunch and watch Dr Who.

For us we have dinner with family friends on Christmas eve and then we go to midnight mass, come home and open presents then sleep. The next day the whole family will come over from both parents side (and may I just say my parents are Greek and phillipino) so there is a lot of us and a lot if food. We sing karaoke, open presents, and eat a lot. So these are the things that have never changed for my Christmas down under (except for last year when I was in the children's hospital over Christmas)

On Christmas day me and my brothers don't actually get stockings we just get a small present after whilst having christmas dinner. Another thing is this year we are having pork, instead of turkey as known of us actually like turkey and we always have to have our breakfast before we can open our presents. Also i always remember watching the film "Chocolat" or "Bridget Jones Dairy" on christmas eve, which is annoyingly not on tv this year.

In Denmark we celebrate ALL the christmas on christmas eve. In my family, we eat pork and duck and sugarpotatoes and red cabbage, and for dessert this sort of rice-pudding with vanilla and almonds and cherry sauce. It's all delicious. Then we dance around the christmas tree while singing christmas songs, and then we open our presents. This year it's just going to be me and my parents, because we don't have a lot of family, but my big brothers and their children will come for christmas lunch soon

We celebrate on Christmas Eve.. so today. We usually celebrate at home but our guest changes for year to year, traditions involve being yelled at by my mother for watching the annual christmas stuff on tv instead of helping her all the time and going to church... though both traditions are being broken as I'm writing this x) We also open our presents around 10 pm, because it takes forever until everyone is finished eating and my mum always insist on cleaning up.

My absolute favourite Christmas tradition is Christmas morning, and opening presents. People always misunderstand when I say that and they think I'm being materialistic, but it's not just about the "getting stuff." It's the anticipation, the excitement. Wondering what's inside that weird shaped present under the tree. The magic of waking up to a full stocking, even though you know it was just your parents who filled it up. It doesn't even matter WHAT the gifts are - I just love the magical feel

christmas is the time when my whole family is together, because all of us live in different places now. on christmas eve we always eat together in the evening, then sing some christmas songs and then open the presents (i'm from germany so we do things a bit differently than in the us).
on the first day of christmas we have lunch together with the family and on the second day we meet up with our relatives and head to a restaurant to have dinner together :)
thank you for the lovely video! <3

My fave Christmas tradition is going to my aunt's on Boxing Day with the whole of my dad's family to play silly board games like Articulate and Charades and eat Christmas leftovers and trifle. Another (almost) tradition for my family is that my brother wakes up at about 3 in the morning every Christmas and eats any chocolate he gets in his stocking and then goes back to sleep. This year's gonna be weird though because it's my first Christmas ever at home rather than my granny's.

My granny and grandad come stay with us every Christimas. They come 'round on christmas eve and we all have steak and chips for dinner & then we go into the sitting room and all sing christmas carols (we have an electric organ that my dad plays so it's all very loud) and then read the 'twas the night before christmas poem' before we go to bed. It's one of my favourite christmas traditions :)

We have acts. Like, every family (in our extended family) has to have an act. We open gifts at midnight because we're not patient people :p Me and my nieces and nephews try to stay up all night and by the time the sun comes up, we always end up watching one of the Harry Potter movies or the movie extra's. And then we fall asleep on the couch. Yup! ^^ Christmas is definately the best time of the year!

We celebrate on Christmas Eve in the typical Swedish way: spend the morning cooking, guests (grandpa, aunt and my mother's cousin) arrive at 2 pm, at 3 pm we watch "Donald Duck's Christmas" (an hour-long Disney Christmas special that has aired on Swedish TV every Christmas Eve since the 60's) and then we eat a Christmas smorgasbord with classic Swedish dishes such as meatballs and gravad lax. After that we "fikar" (drink coffee, eat cookies and chill), and then we open our presents. :)

We usually have a lot of our family round, so it's very busy. One of my grandparents is German, so we spend a lot of time before Christmas making christmas biscuits, and then she'll give us our presents on the 24th and then we'll eat around the table in our music room that we get out at Christmas. We go to bed and then we open our stockings at 8ish. Then, when everyone's ready, the kids get the presents from under the tree & open them. After comes dinner. This year's only us though :)

On Christmas day we don't have any family over and we don't go anywhere (we see the family before Christmas), and we don't open any presents until everyone's had breakfast and got ready.

I'm from Sweden, where we celebrate Christmas on the 24th, meaning that I am in the midst of preparing everything right now. Family will show up in about two hours and then it will be a full house, opening presents around 4. But not to forget we have to watch the annual Donald Duck and friends Christmas episode at 3. People will hang around for however long they feel like but most people stay until around 6-7.

On Christmas Eve, I help my mum with making mince pies and sausage rolls. In the evening, my brother and I play duets for carols on the violin, and my mum and dad sing along. We go upstairs and I read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' and go to sleep. On Christmas we open stockings before breakfast and presents afterwards. Every few years, every person in my mum's side of the family stays at one of my aunt's house; 5 uncles, 6 aunts, 14 cousins, grandma, some 2nd cousins + cousins once removed.

Living in Australia means christmas is hot so as a child i'd wake up with my sister and opening presents (stocking can be opened without parents) then whilst its still early and the heat is slowly creeping in my sister and i sometimes accompanied by cozens go down to the beach and just soak up the sun, really just getting out of parents hair who are getting the christmas lunch ready. Tim Minchin's White wine in the sun never has been more appropriate for my Christmas experience.
