This year on christmas a tradition for myself is going to be enjoying a day where I'm not obligated to go anywhere. I'm looking forward to spending the entire day just relaxing.

Traditionally I have a holiday about a month before where my family all gets together and eats food and we have football games on TV. And you don't have to buy any gifts, it's amazing

Another Christmas tradition I have is other than watching NBA games and Christmas movies all day on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day I usually help my mom cook by setting up our Christmas feast before I take off to visit my dad's side of the family on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day

The day after Thanksgiving we put up the outside lights, and go get a tree either Saturday or Sunday
When the tree goes up, the next day our Elf shows up ( named Oodle, like noodle without the N ) my now almost 3yr old named him
My wife is a teacher, on her last day after school we drive to Fort wayne and look at lights, make a big deal out of it
Christmas eve we have monkey bread for breakfast go to her Grandma's house, have dinner, get a little gift, money, and scratch off lotto ticket, afterwards we drive around looking at lights, when we finally get home we all open 1 gift, which is always PJ's, so we look nice for pics in the morning, then put the kids to bed, lay out the Santa gifts, and then I watch muppet Christmas carol before going to bed
If we can we go to church on Christmas eve too, depending on when the service is
Christmas morning we do at our house, presents, and a breakfast casserole
After that we head to my wife's parents for the rest of the day
Day after we drive to my parents
There are tons of other things too, and with 2 little kids (2 and 1) it will change
Some are carryovers from my childhood and some are new
I love Christmas though

Another tradition is that every year before I go to my aunt and my uncle's on Christmas Day like Christmas Day morning my brother and I would always sit down with each other going back and forth on our banter with each other as far as NBA games go considering the NBA games being played on Christmas we watch them and usually place bets with each other but then we get highly competitive especially on Christmas
But also my mom, grandmother and sister are always in the kitchen cooking but before they do that they usually argue over who gets to cook and what not

I love Christmas On Christmas Eve my whole family goes to my grandmas and we eat and talk, like Thanksgiving and we stay up late and open some gifts early for those who wont be there the next day. On Christmas Day we go back to my grandmas and wait for everyone and we open our gifts. After wards the whole day we jus mess around with the things we got.

Change of plans. This year I'll be hitting the bars a little earlier. Going out for football.

Definitely love this tradition kind of similar to mine in the sense that we go to my grandma's on Christmas Eve

I'll probably sleep in then open presents around 9ish. No rush on that. After that, we'll have a BBQ with some people around and that'll probably take us into the afternoon / night.
Next year is a different story. We've decided that we'll all be jumping on a plane to some island getaway on the 23rd or 24th so we can skip Christmas.

A Christmas Story goes on December 24th at 8 pm and stays on until December 25th at 8 pm. Then on December 25th people give me stuff off of my Amazon wish list. This repeats yearly and I'm very happy with it. You know the flagpole scene was filmed here in Rockland County. It was the Haverstraw middle school. "Fra-gee-lay...it must be Italian"

"Fra-gee-lay...it must be Italian" I seriously never knew that. I just assumed Ohio.
