| Quote: Durham Giant "Not the obvious ones such as opening presents and having Xmas dinner but the other smaller more personal ones
I always take the kids to buy one xmas decoration /Bauble that we put up and they can take with them when they leave home
I always buy the kids new xmas pyjamas for Xmas eve even my eldest ( and he does not normally wear PJs) gets some
I always go to Midnight mass or a carol concert. Xmas is not the same without the carols or a mass even though i am an athiest!!
Going through the radio times and circling programmes / films i want to watch even though i dont watch much terrestrial TV and have sky information at my finger tips'"
I have two traditions.
The first is that we always put up our Christmas decorations on the Sunday after our youngest son's birthday (8th December).
The second is never to use the term "Xmas". Except when pointing out that I never use the term "Xmas", of course. I use it then in order to state that I never use it. |

We don't open our presents until after we've eaten our dinner. We are proper mental.

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

Once you've spent Christmas and New Year in the Barents Sea aboard a salvage support vessel surrounded by nothing but ex Navy guy's. Tradition just goes out of the window. Your just glad to be home for the Holiday's each year after.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Only if you let it be.
Do you lack self control? |

How about Christmas traditions you miss? As a wee lad I used to love taking the dog for a walk with my dad late on Christmas Eve. My mind's eye tells me they were all cold, crisp, crystal clear nights and I could hear distant sleigh bells in the stars.
Mum sneaking in a few hours after lights out to fill the stocking at the end of my bed with silly, cheap trinkets. The moment you went downstairs in the morning in your dressing gown and first saw the presents by the tree. Always one 'big' present and a small pile of smaller ones. Never too much, never too little.
After opening the presents, making toast and a brew for breakfast and all sitting round in our pyjamas and dressing gowns chatting and watching Christmas morning telly while someone put all the wrapping paper in a bin bag, and glancing outside desperately hoping for snow.
Grandma insisting we all be quiet for the Queen's Speech. "Merry Christmas, ma'am."
Waiting for the big afternoon Christmas film - ET, Wizard of Oz, etc.
Good times. Very, very lucky to have a great family and once my little one arrives it'll be time to make some traditions of my own.
