It seems to be the theme, people do not fuss about Christmas with decorations so much anymore, me included.

On the Christmas Eve we read the Christmas Gospel from the book of Luke in the afternoon after coffee and before presents, if there are any anyway :D

It may be that the world's unbelieving consumers are more concerned with these things. Certainly as an unbeliever they were more important to me even if I did not understand the true meaning behind it all... and I am glad in some part that these traditions are carried on even if largely by unbelievers, because, as they say, you cannot remove Christ from Christmas, and it does seem they have tried. I wanted to add about about our family carolling time: it was really important to me, and I have such fond memories of our gatherings in the living room, to sing these wonderful songs together. My love of Christmas carols carried over into my adult life, when as an unbeliever I would always be adding my voice at any seasonal festive event when someone tried to get the carolling started. I do love many of the standards and classics... Oh come let us adore Him! Christ the Lord...

i never had kids, so there's 1 reason not to decorate for holidays. plus, i never needed to spend money on decorations, store the stuff, break it out to decorate, store it again. no fuss for me!

I love that there are enough stockings on the mantle to cover the feet of a centipede who wears socks! :D

Argh.

That was supposed to be, "enough stockings on the mantle to cover the feet of a centipede who wears SHOES" (as in, he could use the stockings on the mantle before he puts on his shoes.)

The coffee obviously hasn't kicked in yet, my apologies!

What kind of Christmas traditions do you have? With whom do you spend it?

What is a must-have (or must to do) for Christmas?

Do you do something, some tradition, etc, you don't want to do for a reason or another?

Do you have some special foods/dishes just for Christmas?

Do you go to the Christmas morning church service?

If you decorate, when do you start?
Do you celebrate Advent as a pathway to Christmas? How?

Is Christmas just one day, or is it longer for you?



When it is time to shove the Christmas tree out of the door, kick the jingle bells to the attic, hide garlands and lights to the darkest corner of the basement?
How long does it take you to demolish all the chocolates from Christmas?

When does Christmas end for you, or does it?

Do you have a spruce shedding party as the end of the Christmas season?
