Default What Christmas traditions do you keep alive?

We have a lot of traditions with family and friends for the holidays. Christmas Eve we always have a Florida Cracker supper - clam chowder, crab legs, shrimp, oysters on the half shell. We put newspapers all over the porch tables or dining room table if it is too cold to eat out and "pig out". We usually do a gift exchange where we draw numbers, #l selects the first gift, opens it, and the next person can take #1's gift or a new one and so on. I forgot to mention the things above must be accompanied by plenty of "eggnog" or beverage of your choice to be really fun.
