On Christmas morning, my siblings and I would put a note on our dog and send her downstairs to my parents to let them know we were ready to come see what "Santa" brought

Every year on Christmas morning, my family makes Genetti cookies
Ellan
Every year my partner and I will get a Christmas ornament that is reflective of the goals/accomplishments that were achieved in the year, the ornaments are all dated so our Christmas tree is like a scrapbook of our relationship
Natasha
My Christmas tradition is hanging big earrings on a Christmas tree!
Asmaa

Every year my family gets together in a town called Coboconk for Christmas dinner. After dinner, everyone (kids & adults) would go tobogganing, then have a fire and boil hot water with the 50 year old kettle from my deceased grandpa, and we all drink tea.

Growing up, my house had more Christmas trees added every year - the main tree, the front porch tree, the bathroom tree, the Grinch tree, the ceramic tree, etc.
Chelsea
My favourite Christmas movie is the first Home Alone
Rachel
My Christmas tradition is working, time and a half baby!

When I was 12, I had a wiggly tooth that I was working on loosening up. My great aunt Isabel (who wasn't actually my aunt but was included in our family) gave me a chocolate letter for Christmas, and after our Christmas party we went to a hockey game. When at the hockey game, I took a big bite of my chocolate letter and my tooth went flying out in the bleachers. I was so upset I couldn't find my tooth because I wouldn't get my "tooth fairy" money. After looking hard, we gave up on the search. In the end, the "tooth fairy" came anyways.

December 26th is a special mass for a saint that is recognized in Europe, especially in the community that I'm from. My father and I usually go together to mass and worship this saint because we both share the same name as the saint.

St. Stephan's day December 26
There is a Christmas tradition in my family for years that one of us always puts the same sparkly pickle ornament on the family tree and it hasn't come out which one of my family members is doing it. It's been about 8 years.

My partner got a new AWD car for Christmas and thought they would be able to hit a snow drift and get through, but instead we got stuck and had to get towed out.
Matt
Every year my brother and I asked for the same video game for Christmas. We unwrapped it a few weeks early, swapping it out with another video game so it didn't look opened, and played the new version before we were officially "given" it on Christmas morning
Mark
The worst gift I've ever got was vanilla scented body wash. I HATE VANILLA.
Sadeta
I used to play the piano, and then graduated to playing a mean trombone, alongside a family friend who played saxophone, for a few years to entertain family and friends during our traditional Christmas gathering. We played Christmas melodies during cocktail hour to ensure everyone was in the spirit
Ian
Every year my dad and I would go chop down a Christmas Tree and inevitable get lost trying to find the tree farm. We'd then stubbornly try to put the tree up together while the occasional expletive emerges as the tree inevitably starts to fall. Needless to say, this tradition only lasted a few years.
Dan
My family does the Lotto tickets every Christmas and one year I thought I won $50k off my crossword. It took 5 minutes to realize I read the instructions wrong and won $5.
Brie
One time I got potato peel/scraps in my stocking.

My favourite Christmas song is Snoopy's Christmas by The Royal Guardsman
