It's great to hear about everyone's traditions. I'm kind of in a different, weird place this year. My two kids are grown, but not married, so the family is small. And my son is in Iraq for Christmas this year. To keep from mising him so much and feeling so lonely this year, my daughter and I decided that we will do Christmas differently this year -- get a hot pink tree, or something like that, and have an untraditional meal, and do some different things on Christmas day. We are afraid we will miss him too much if we do the traditional things. But, when things normalize, we will dust off the traditional tree and go back to traditions!
