Default Your 'strange' Christmas traditions
Do you have any?

Do you do something that others don't do?

...hmm, I don't think we do anything different on Christmas day but I do take all the decorations down usually the day after Boxing Day, which is what my parents always did...so I guess maybe some people would think that was strange...

...yeah, it's just an old family tradition thing to take it down early, fingers...especially before the New Year, so there is none of the 'old Christmas' still there...

In recent years we don't really put presents under the tree unless they're big ones. We have the tree next to this really cool modern cabinet which has a load of LEDs in it. We put presents in that.

My dad puts a menorah on top of his Christmas tree. He's Jewish, he just really likes Christmas.

boring everyone to death saying it now but we go for a christmas dip in the sea at 10am, most people just go in and come back out but you can't do it properly without having a good old swim, it was cancelled for a bit because no one was running it/they couldn't afford the insurance/lifeguards, but thankfully it is back on
