Well this year I'm celebrating what seems to be a fairly new tradition...and that would be not being home for Christmas...3 out of the past 5 years I've missed it! And last year's was all askew because I had to report in for my deployment on Christmas day...and my base is over 2 hours away from where my family lives...so we were forced to celebrate Christmas on the 24th or not at all. Hopefully that is a tradition I can cast aside.

Regarding real traditions though....I always enjoyed going to...and then as I got older, singing in, the 11pm Christmas Cantata at my church where I grew up. It's been quite a few years and I think that they've moved the service to earlier in the eve....maybe next year though.
