Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house...

Everyone was rocking and rolling....
There was a righteous party about...

The cookies were all baked with the utmost of care...
Cheeses and meats were sliced and spread out without spare
The candies were all dipped and filled with more spirit than punch....
And everyone was thinking about tomorrow's lunch.

And finally I got rid of the throng...
In hopes of hearing, no more holiday song.
And as I built yet another bicycle...
I sipped on my cup with just a trickle.

Usually I make a raspberry jam star bread...(using seedless raspberry jam)

But I usually drizzle some white frosting on it....

Then there's the cookies...
Gingerbread houses....

But for Christmas eve dinner we eat charcuterie board and cheeses and cookies and candies and cocoa. It's the stuff that dreams are made of LOL.... because after eating that stuff the indigestion will cause vivid dreams.
Looks like i'd like to have some of that(y):)
 
Starting Dec 1st I have my stereo on low playing of course Christmas carols, on a Christian station. I have 3 favorites this year 'I Need A Silent Night' Amy Grant/'Jesus Born on This Day' Mariah Carey/ 'Jesus The Light of the World' Lauren Daigle.
Then I start my ritual also of watching favorite Christmas movies a couple being 'A Christmas Visitor' and 'Cinderella Christmas'.
It is definitely 'The Most Wonderful Time of the Year'✨🙌✨
My wife is doing the Christmas movie thing on NetFlix.

I hope she watched the ones with Peter Falk as Max the angel. One is 'When Angels Come to Town' and then 'Finding John Christmas, they are good stories. Also I saw 'Christmas Eve' a fun movie where groups of people get stuck in elevators and 'discover' each other as actual people.
 
What kind of candy do you make?

Pulled sugar or taffy?
Or maybe some sort of chocolates?

Or maybe something akin to rum or bourbon balls?

Inquiring minds want to know.
I make fudges (peanut butter, chocolate, peppermint, pumpkin spiced, raspberry white chocolate and butterscotch this year), peanut brittle and I dip things in chocolate, sometimes I make peanut butter balls, but this year I never got to them.
 
Everyone has some sort of normal unique Christmas traditions.

For my family the best part of Christmas is the getting ready for Christmas...I bake. ALOT!

Gingerbread house parties that create gingerbread subdivisions...
Cookies and homemade truffles everywhere...
Of course the requisite tree covered in ornaments from the family reliquary.

Leaving Santa a plate of cookies and milk....but it might get replaced with leaving a pair of shoes, some cigarettes and a Twinkie for John McClain.

Anybody else have special traditions for Christmas?
I have not done a Christmas tradition since I was 17. No tree decorating or anything, now it's just giving my mom a wish list for things I need like clothing and going to see her one day at year.
 
My mom's parents (my grandparents) spin the night on Christmas Eve and we then wake up a little early (even though all of my siblings and I are basically adults now) and we open stockings, share what we got with eachother and then open gifts. Then we have breakfast. and hang out until its time for us three women to start making Christmas dinner
