As the title says!

Do you do anything strange in the run up to Christmas you do the same every year like watch the same film? Play the same game? Always do things in a routine order?

Everyones different and it'll be interesting to see what it's like around the world.

As a kid I was always woke up by my dad in the morning who got more excited than me, we would then have a cooked breakfast an d get dressed/washed, then we could open presents!
We would only be allowed to open them one at a time though, almost like Pass the Parcel ♦

I'v been working 3 shifts over Christmas for the past 5-6 years so I'm unsure how it'll go down, probably similar.

I also read that this is the one time of the year that the men cook the Christmas Dinner, forget about the rest of the year. Christmas is when we show everyone how it's done! :P

"Celebrate" may be putting rather a stronger emphasis on my reaction to it than in reality.
I can still hear the Sound of Music ringing loud in my ears from last year - and the year before - and the year...surround sound, it goes up to number 11 y'know. :f_cry:

Work, visit family, watch whatever movies will be on TV, eat all the things...

And regarding the movies:

As always, gonna be forced to watch home alone.

Probably going to be this, always the same every year :facepalm:

I think that covers it pretty much :)

We don't do much special for Christmas, I guess the usual:

- Wake up
- Browse inet
- Lunch
- Game/poker
- Help parents preparing a big dinner
- Dinner
- Dota2
- Sleep

Surrounded by family.

LOTS of family, lots of food, lots of fun.

After Christmas?
Lots of work, lots of cleanup.

Peace on earth, good will to all mankind,
