Palace Network Leadership Popular Post BobRosscoe 1321 Posted November 15, 2020 Palace Network Leadership Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2020 Hello All! Today I am looking for your family traditions at this time of year! I know my family have a few and I am sure many of yours do to! I have chosen to speak about Christmas Eve. This is where my full family receive some new festive PJ's, a chocolate snack and sometimes even a cheeky lush bath bomb. We sit and usually watch Scrooge which has some amazing songs such as 'Thank You Very Much' and just enjoy the family time. We then get into beds and try and sleep so that the big Santa man can bring gifts. I usually end up calling my friends (Hi Achachas) and stay up way later than anticipated. This will be my last post of the holiday season asking you all questions so I hope you all have a truly wonderful time no matter what you celebrate! Ross o/ 14 Link to post Share on other sites
PeanutShells 387 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 My favorite tradition is putting up the Christmas tree as well as doing absolutely nothing on Christmas which means I get to sleep all day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Palace Network Staff CharlotteGrande75 499 Posted December 21, 2020 Palace Network Staff Share Posted December 21, 2020 My favorite tradition is when my mom films my brother and I every Christmas morning asking us questions about life and stuff. She's been doing this every year since I was baby CharlotteGrande so I love looking back on them 😊 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Media Team Huxleigh 576 Posted December 21, 2020 Media Team Share Posted December 21, 2020 Oo!! Me and my family have a weird one. We would buy onsies for all of the kids/young adults in the family and take pictures. It was a thing we did every year up until last year! It was quite fun!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Palace Network Leadership Aquaticalo 433 Posted December 21, 2020 Palace Network Leadership Share Posted December 21, 2020 My favorite family tradition is we all go and pick up Italian pastries on Christmas Eve and always snack on them with some hot cocoa in the morning. I always loveeee the multi-colored Italian cake-bread type things that are white, green, and red ❤️ Link to post Share on other sites

Palace Network Staff AlolanNinetails2 49 Posted December 21, 2020 Palace Network Staff Share Posted December 21, 2020 Mine takes a bit of explanation. So I come from a german family and now have mainly transitioned over to their traditions. Traditionally on Christmas eve we would have HamHocks, Sausages, Sauerkraut, mash potatoes, and Salad. Before i was about 15 or 16 we would then have cookies and stuff on christmas eve and open presents on christmas morning. But now that i'm old enough we've transitioned over to opening presents on christmas eve. that follows are more germanic thing of the family has christmas eve dinner, and goes for a walk after it and while they walk Santa comes so following that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Palace Network Staff Disneyfan 194 Posted December 21, 2020 Palace Network Staff Share Posted December 21, 2020 My favorite Christmas tradition would have to be opening the stockings at night - when all is said and done or coming down the stairs to see the tree with a bunch of presents underneath. 🎁 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Palace Network Leadership ScanWorks 2632 Posted December 21, 2020 Palace Network Leadership Share Posted December 21, 2020 For Christmas Eve we usually go downtown on the 23rd of December and then stay overnight until the 24th of December. On Christmas Eve, we usually eat at the big Macy's downtown under a big Christmas tree they have and then we go to my grandparents house for dinner. With what's going on now though, we can't do that this year. For Christmas, we usually get up early in the morning and open presents. After that, some of my family comes over and we have breakfast and dinner with them! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Coordinator Aewo 327 Posted December 21, 2020 Coordinator Share Posted December 21, 2020 Hmmm one of my favorite traditions is going to my grandparents house on Christmas Eve with my cousins. We do that every year and it's something I always look forward to during the holiday season! Link to post Share on other sites

Coordinator Disneyfreak1114 39 Posted December 21, 2020 Coordinator Share Posted December 21, 2020 My all time favorite Christmas tradition is opening up one gift on Christmas Eve, and literally every year its always Christmas PJs. I don't have an issue with it because I love pjs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Coordinator lunaology 3345 Posted December 21, 2020 Coordinator Share Posted December 21, 2020 So my favorite tradition with my family is our troublesome Christmas elves. We have two wooden elf statues that we have had for years and as kids we started a tradition that they were troublesome. So every Christmas, we move them throughout my house and we toilet paper the area they are in. It’s a twist on Elf on the Shelf but it always is fun to join in. Outside of that, my family’s big tradition is our Christmas Eve party. I normally like Christmas the most out of every holiday because it’s the one time my whole family gets together, since normally I’m either with my dads side or moms side on other holidays. It’s the one time of year every single member of my immediate family joins together to eat, laugh, open gifts, and have a good time. It’s honestly going to be pretty sad this year because no one is going to be there. We normally go all out too. It’s still going to be a fun Christmas, but the lack of my family joining us has put somewhat diminished the joy of the holiday this year. Regardless, I’m happy we can still try and celebrate together over Zoom. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Coordinator PanicAtTheJedi 789 Posted December 21, 2020 Coordinator Share Posted December 21, 2020 I usually go out for dinner on Christmas Eve and then on Christmas watch movies with my family! ❤️ 1 Link to post Share on other sites
MegHerobrine14 14 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 My favourite tradition is probably giving presents! Either that or decorating biscuits / cookies. Link to post Share on other sites
Palace Network Staff StitcherSam 252 Posted December 21, 2020 Palace Network Staff Share Posted December 21, 2020 One of my traditions is having a Christmas-film-marathon with my family! We tend to stay up a couple of hours for the next few days to watch classic holiday films such as Home Alone, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and many more! 💞🎄 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Trainee _jamesss_ 284 Posted December 21, 2020 Trainee Share Posted December 21, 2020 My favorite tradition is for sure Christmas Day in a whole. We get to start off by greeting eachother at the door, (sadly only my brother is coming this year) eating pancakes and cranberries for breakfast, and then heading to the basement to open our stockings!! Once our stockings are done we head to the tree to open Christmas presents which my mother and I designed so that you must answer a clue before you open it! It is a brief explanation about what the gift is and if you get it right you can open it, but if you get it wrong you have to wait for it till the end! After presents, it’s usually 4pm. It’s dinner time! We have turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, turnip, cranberries, bread, sweet potato. It’s all great! At the end, we try all of our new gifts out! Link to post Share on other sites
Palace Network Staff imapanduh_ 383 Posted December 21, 2020 Palace Network Staff Share Posted December 21, 2020 On Christmas Eve usually we have a huge party at my cousin’s house, we eat a lot of food, and there are like 20 desserts. We always do a yankee swap (we all bring one present, and then sit together and everyone picks a random present in some kind of order, then they can choose if they want to take someone else’s present instead) and we watch a Santa tracker. My cousins and I like to go in the basement where there are a ton of games, it’s really fun! Link to post Share on other sites
Technician ActualFacts 43 Posted December 21, 2020 Technician Share Posted December 21, 2020 Mine has to be finally putting up the Christmas tree, We always put it up too late every year due to our schedules and work commitments but it eventually goes up and then it feels like Christmas! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Coordinator Becks322 289 Posted December 21, 2020 Coordinator Share Posted December 21, 2020 Personally, my favourite Christmas tradition is putting up the Christmas tree with my family (which we're doing today actually haha!) Link to post Share on other sites
