Singing Christmas carols with my father. He is 86 and in the early stages of dementia, so I am going to keep doing for as many Christmas as I can. Seize the day, people...

My grandmother would remind us every year that this year could be her last Christmas. I always went and spent the time with her but asked for information rather than gifts. We went through photo albums and she explained how we were related to those pictured and provided anecdotes for each. I wish I had recorded these stories! My notes don't do them justice and I no longer have the opportunity to spend the time with my late, funny, grouchy grandmother...

Nothing like a zero stress holiday! People in general stress me out, but none more than family.

My favorite Christmas tradition is sadly a faded memory.
In the golden years, I used to sit with my family and scroll through BoredPanda without content being hidden and the website trying to get me to buy premium like a mob of Jehovah's Witnesses on meth.

Watching Little Lord Fauntleroy and decorating the Christmas tree on the 23rd

The nerf war, no I will not elaborate but it is a neighborhood thing.

watching the movie Second Hand Lion.

I like this movie and it's on my watch list again. There's just something about it - probably the two quirky men who don't care what the rest of the world thinks about them.

Watching National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and A Christmas Story!
#15
Playing Resident Evil 4 (2005) and eating all kinds of baked goods only available in this season.

A few beers and a barbeque to celebrate the birth of Santa. 🎅
#18
Napping with the dogs. Phone on flight mode

Have Christmas dinner with my mom.
Watching Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket is another tradition I'm going to start. It is an anime that happens during Christmas time, lol.

don't really have a christmas tradition anymore due to having my grandmother pass on christmas eve in 1997 and then my mom on the same date a few years ago. it has been hard to do anything traditional but thankfully we don't have any little ones that need that magical essence. but, at one time, when the youngest in the family finally realized that santa wasn't 'real' we would have a 'ceremony' that included a solemn oath never to reveal that to any of the young kids they came in contact with. to my knowledge, not one leaked the info. the other one was having one or two drinks and then having a few of us climb on the roof, stomp a bit, ring some sleigh bells, and plant some very obvious footprints. one year my son added chocolate covered raisins to the reindeer trail as scat to 'prove' santa had been there. in all the years only one time did my dad fall off the roof which we considered pretty good.

Memories... My grandmother died the day after Christmas, then one of my uncles, his wife & their three young sons were all killed by a drunk driver on Christmas Eve 50 yrs. ago. Christmas time wasn't as merry after that. But the family tries to create & keep happier memories going. I'd just like to ask everyone who sees this, to Please don't drive impaired, and don't let friends or family drive impaired. Give them a ride, or take their keys, let them be mad at you, theyll get over it. You may very well be saving their life and the lives of innocent people, too.

Does "Trying to avoid all the maddness" count? My favorite one anyway.
