"Every year my wife and I buy an ornament for our tree that corresponds with something that happened that year. So we have a tree filled with all of these weird wacky ornaments like a tennis ball (we started playing tennis that year), swedish chef (Europe trip), Ship Captain Nutcracker (our first cruise), amongst many others. It's such a fun tradition in December to debate what we to get and then finding something. And then reliving them all when we put them up." – Barrucuda
"Wife and I order from the same Chinese restaurant every Christmas Eve. We eat from there almost exclusively on Christmas Eve - we don't do much chinese through the year regularly. Started one Christmas Eve when we were both feeling lazy and hasn't stopped... 12+ years now." – ChaoticDoGooder
"Each year we cut a round off the bottom of our Christmas tree. We label it with the year. Over time it makes a sweet display/ reminder of years past." – SARstar367
"The tradition in our house was whatever you got for Christmas, you had to wear to the pub at lunchtime on Christmas Day. I've been to the pub in pjs, 4 pairs of socks, running vest and shorts, etc etc." – SpeedyGoneGarbage
My brother and I were hungry one year and our parents(where we celebrate Christmas) lives very close to a gas station, where they sell surprisingly good hotdogs. So we went to get one each. My sister in law thought it was so ridiculous, so she snapped a picture. Now its tradition for us to go get a hotdog and pose for the yearly Christmas hotdog picture." – Frodde
"We always have McDonalds on Christmas Eve because we leave our wrapping until last minute and that's all we have time for. Sounds sad, but comes with happy nostalgia from wrapping and family." – spockgiirl
