christmas traditions

[sex]

sooo its coming up to that time of year again and im just wondering does anything have traditions they do year in year out with family/friends or even just on their own?

mine is when we are putting up the decorations my mum makes sure everyone is there too help then we always order Chinese that night and stop like halfway through when the place is a mess and eat it. nothing amazing or whatever but yeah we do it every year!

We stay up on Christmas Eve watching TV, eating junk and stuff until midnight when we open all our presents there and then play charades or whatever until 3am and then my mum puts the Christmas Dinner in the oven and leaves it to roast and then we all go to sleep until about 1pm.

hmmmm. my mum usually puts up the tree alone but when we were younger we'd all go out and pick our favourite tree together then cut it down!!

christmas eve we visit cousins, although each year it gets later and later and now we only spend about 2 hours with them. we always wait until 6 o clock though to watch santa leaving his house on the news!!!

christmas day we all wake up, go downstairs together and open our santa presents, then we have breakfast. then we give each other the family presents. after that we're all hungover so go back to bed for a bit, then maybe visit my grandma. my cousins just live down the road, so we rotate christmas dinner. every second year its at our house obviously, here we all get drunk again and ***** about our other relatives that aren't as cool as us and then we play some guitar hero or just dance or karaoke OR if we're talking old school we used to play trivial pursuit.

then they leave and usually me and my brother will watch a movie together, then i'll go see my friend that lives a few doors down. or i'd go see a boyfriend, but this year it'll be the friend.

To stick up our Christmas decorations listening to Christmas songs.
To have a takeaway on Xmas eve and then go to midnight church, come home have some mulled wine then go to bed.
On Christmas day to split up all the presents then open them together.
To go to the Winter Wonderland in Edinburgh City Centre and go to the German Market etc, that's when i get into the Christmassy mood

Does anyone watch the Queen's speech nowadays? I've never and don't intend to watch it, not really a fan of the monarchy.
