Christmas Traditions

Christmas traditions i hope Weston and I continue

Watching the Muppet's Christmas Carol on Christmas Eve, including singing "after all there's only one more sleep till Christmas day"

Leaving cookies and milk / a mince pie and sherry out for Father Christmas (I'm not sure who will eat it to keep the fantasy alive though ....)

Eating mince pies, Christmas pudding, delicious cheeses, variety boxes of chocolate, mini sausages wrapped in bacon and random other desserts such as Tunis cake, profiteroles, gateaux etc etc

Pulling Christmas crackers before eating Christmas dinner

Opening advent calendars and eating shaped chocolate pieces each morning

Getting socks for Christmas, after all everyone could do with more socks

Making Christmas biscuits and giving them to our friends

Trying to figure out what the presents are

Giving something really random, like the Elliotts soup randomness

Snuggling up under blankets and watching Christmas movies

Drinking egg nog and then remembering i don't really like it too much

Seeing everyones Christmas lights

I know they are silly and don't mean anything but i quite enjoy doing them, mostly i'd like to do something that matters at Christmas, lets face it none of this does, its greed and ridiculousness. What's the best way to give your time at Christmas? Helping feed the poor? helping your family and friends? giving money to charity? giving a goat to a far off family? Inviting a lonely person over for some company at Christmas time?
