I just wanted to see who all still looks at this board

I check all the time, but sometimes I don't have much to say about the topics posted. So I wanted to start something fun so that everyone can stop by and say hi. And if I am the only one who ends up posting in this thread, I won't feel lame, right?

Anyway, let's talk about Christmas traditions! What does your family (or chapter?) do that makes the season special for you? I could be anything, as long as it's important for you.

My family has a few. We always eat fondue on Christmas Eve, and have a special brunch on Christmas Day. We also usually go to the holiday concert at the Coliseum... but we didn't go this year

Our holiday tradition is a little odd. After the presents are open and the lunch is eaten, we see a movie Christmas Day. Its become such a popular tradition in our family that my little brother was with his girlfriend and her children this year and he took them all to a movie too.

Oh, and usually we go christmas ornament shopping the day after christmas. We've scouted the ornament shops the weeks before and get only the very best of the ornaments. Its great - Its fun and you get ornaments for 70% or more off.

That is such a _cute_ tradition! I love it! I just love pj's. We may have to start that tradition in our house next year.
