Do you have a Christmas tradition?

A few years ago my family and I realized we didn't have a Christmas tradition of our own. For years we have always spent our time traveling to one side of the family or other which was great but we thought it was time to start our own. So, as simple as it may be, we started going out for Chinese food after our Christmas Eve service. Honestly, my family has really come to love this time and they look forward to it every year. It's kinda cool how sime things like this can become so special. With that in mind I was curios to learn of any traditions you might have and how they started.

We always make sure to be home Christmas morning to open gifts from Santa.
On a side note, my mom always makes Chili for dinner on Christmas Eve.

Instead of using an Angel or star on our tree we use a Barbie

I was always Santa Claus, since I was so big. Guess I gotta change my routine...
