myurbandream | silver and gold decorations on ev'ry christmas tree....

jim and i were talking about holiday traditions- or rather, we started out by debating whether we should watch love actually now AND at christmas, or just wait until christmas to watch it, because you HAVE to watch love actually on christmas- and then we got to discussing other movies and holidays and then i started thinking..... anyway. holidays. i have family traditions. what are yours?

(jim points out that i should have added "get drunk" to this list; i counter that since i only recently discovered an alcoholic beverage that i can stand to consume, this is not yet a personal tradition. so: nyar!)
