YOUR FAMILY'S STRANGE OR FUCKED UP HOLIDAY TRADITIONS/PRACTICES

[chardmonster]

We have a giant robot Santa. That sings. It was a gift from my grandmother. Here's a video of one of them (not mine): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Drg11XoaT_k

Bonus: assembly instructions! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xp9Uhlwnavs

I would actually love one of those tbh.

we don't really have any messed up traditions, but we do eat latkes on christmas day every year (we're not jews randomly celebrating christmas, we just love potatoes). and we have an unwritten rule that no one's allowed to get dressed or shower before opening presents in the morning so that we all look equally busted in any photos taken. pyjamas and bedhead only.

Latkes are awesome.

We do pajama pictures, but we've always had a practice of fixing our hair and, in my sister's case, applying makeup first.

After everyone in the family has realised that Santa is just another family member dressing up, the adults don't bother anymore so the kids have started doing it instead. Last year Santa was my ten year old female cousin.

I guess this is a bit strange?

That is actually adorable.

Heh, In my family we did the same, starting at age ten or so, only that the only children available would be me and my brother so I got some ten years of practice playing 'Santa' before we let the plushies be our substitute and just narrated for them... yeah
(Actually this came in handy, when I had to play Santa for school kids

That's really cute, I like it.

My SO addresses gifts to me from "other people." Like, one year I got a gift from Satan (it was the abysmal excuse for a film "Ed "). Also, he does themes. One year I had a Very Star Trek Christmas and almost all my gifts where Star Trek related. This year he says it's "villain" themed which I think means he bought me a shit ton of Randall (Monsters U) merchandise.

I don't remember having any weird traditions when I was kid, though.

That's adorable! And it sounds like so much fun.

my dad has given me Xmas presents that he signed as being from Captain Picard, John Cleese, Yoko Ono, etc.

THAT THING IS TERRIFYING. BURN IT TO CINDERS.

My family doesn't really have anything particularly odd, other than making my mother hoard Christmas cards instead of newspapers for four weeks.

Edit: Wait, I do have something. In lieu of writing 'Merry Christmas' on presents my father writes cryptic clues and doesn't let you open the present until it's been guessed correctly. Both me and my brother now do this to him.

My stepdad noticed that I like wearing stupid festive hats and buys me a new one almost every year. Most recently it was an ugly, cheap elf hat with a jingly bell at the end of it. I love that fucking thing.

We secretly rank the greed levels of everyone in town and then we dress up as ghosts and on Christmas eve we "haunt" them and try to get them to change their ways. It's become a big hit actually and in the end when the person decides to love again, we have a big party in the town hall. My brother is always Christmas future and the kids really love him.

My SO and I buy gifts from the pets for the kids. We also have stockings for the pets with their names on them and they each get one or two gifts wrapped under the tree.

For our dinner, we eat dessert first because holiday meals are the only time we have dessert but the meal is usually so big that we're too full to have dessert at the end.

I can't tell if this is strange, but my family always used to eat those crappy little boxes of kellogg's cereals for breakfast in the morning on Christmas. It was the only time we were allowed to get things like fruit loops and such, and they fit in our stockings.

Also, we tend to save a present for the next day if it's a rich year. If not, we always make the gift opening last as long as possible- until the evening if we can manage it.

My family has candle-holder blocks that spell out MERRY CHRISTMAS, and throughout December everyone makes anagrams with them, the weirder and/or dirtier the better.
