Tradition?  When we all give out and get the little hand made gifts, usually ornaments, sometimes like this year the pet is getting a quilt I made from old jeans, it's amazing.  I'll post pics of it after Christmas as it's already wrapped, sometimes things like scrapbooks/photobooks, etc.  Just little things truly from the heart, not the store.

Status: offline 		Movie... Miracle on 34th street. Both are great, but I prefer the old one.
tradition.... I'm betwixt and between. My kids are grown. I celebrate Christmas with my sister's family now, as I wait impatiently for grandchildren.
My sister's family is fundie, and of course they read the christmas story, which i love and is beautiful
but I miss traditions from when my kids were growing up, ..... reading a Christmas Carol, passing it around, each of us reading one canta. Reading O'Henry's the gift of the Magi to my daughter while i brushed her waist lenght hair.
And the one I miss most, from when my kids were growing up: Reading Robert Frost's 'Christmas Trees' outloud before opening the gifts. yea, I miss that.
Can someone loan me a grandchild or three?

I made 3 of those for friends (before the ex "loaned" my sewing machine to someone and I never saw it again), and all of them were deemed "best present EVER". Who knew old jeans were that useful? [/off topic]

[on topic] Favourite movie- "A Christmas Story", but "Die Hard" is a close second
Tradition- Spending Xmas at Mercnbeth's, eating way too many cookies and getting waterlogged in the hot tub

I got a 'memory quilt' of my daughter year before last, a colaboration of my mother and all my sisters. It was made from her clothes - mostly jeans, and the logo part of every drama club production tee shirt she had - with computer printed pictures of her, at all differant ages, scattered amongst the squares.

Hands down, best gift I ever recieved.

Status: offline 		Movie and Tradition are the same.

My mother loved "A Christmas Carol" and it was a tradition to watch every single one that came on TV. When VCRs became popular, I started buying her a video of the movie each year. Alastair Sim, and the musical one were our favorites (I can't remember the name of the guy who played Scrooge in that one, but it is great). We had those two, George C. Scott, the bald guy from Star Trek, if it were "A Christmas Carol" or any new age version thereof, we got it. Then typically when we were putting up the tree, we would just watch them all one after the other, usually finishing with "It's A Wonderful Life."

Mom is gone now, and many of the videos have been lost in various moves. My teenage son is the "I"m the biggest bratty jerk I can be" stage of teenagedom so the tradition has pretty much fallen to the wayside. But I do search the channels and watch every version that comes on (including the unbelievablly horrible "A Carol Christmas" with Tori Spelling, yuk) and usually cry at the loss of the tradition and the fact that my mom isn't around to enjoy it with me anymore.
