 The night before, we all sleep around the Christmas tree. She turns on old radio shows, like OLD old ones from the 1930 something’s, and doze off with the faint static and long-dead caroling people in your head.

I’ve always wanted to sleep around the tree sometime, but I think if we kept the lights on I wouldn’t be able to sleep.

Thats cool! I dont eat sugar so we have to make it ourselves and Mom makes it with honey which makes it even better 🙂

Cranberry sauce, I eat it by the spoonful XD

I don’t normally eat cranberry sauce, but we do have a cranberry relish sometimes (most often at Thanksgiving). It’s more like a fruit salad, but I would probably eat cranberry sauce by the spoonful too, haha.

I live in mortal dread of the Muppets

Wait, WHAT?

@jonas

Ill be praying <3

Haha I forgot about the tree! We have a fake one now. We used to get real ones when I was little, but then it started bothering our allergies (especially my dad) so we switched to the fake one. I miss the smell of the real ones, but I like that we can set it up right after Thanksgiving and keep it up until after New Year’s, and it still looks nice.

@trailblazer

Great topic!!

How do you celebrate Christmas Eve/Christmas? (family gatherings, church services, other fun traditions?)- We usually have all our grandparents over, but since we moved were just by ourselves. And we always watch the “Muppets Christmas Carol” and have Hawaiian pizza (No idea why) .

Did your family do Santa Claus (or…[Read more]

…and if someone takes too long, everyone starts singing Joy to the World.

That strikes me funny for some reason! I don’t think either of my parents would be happy if we woke them up like that, lol.

Aaaaand since I started this topic, I’ll answer the questions myself!

Starting with Christmas Eve: my family doesn’t usually do much the first part of the day, but our church has Christmas Eve services in the evening, so we’ll often have an earlier meal, and somewhere along the line we started eating shrimp every year, but it’s not usually…[Read more]

Is it the kind of thing you can postpone if you have to, or too many people’s schedules to work with to be able to do that?

@loopylin

I’ll add him if @Whaley agrees. I mean, he’s…*goes and checks charrie timeline*… 20-21 years old if I go off of Nar’s age, so unless there’s a college that he can be enrolled in and basically never attend, he’ll be the big brother watching over little sis and not taking care of himself in the meantime.

Oh, he does wear…[Read more]

Chase Duke

Chase smiled. Not a twitch of his lips, not a wobbly crack at he edge, but a true smile, widening across his features. His green eyes sparkled, with water and joy. He led her as they resumed dancing, at which both stumbled at times, but at which both helped each other.

Sorry, I couldn’t think of much else.

@jonas

That sounds miserable!

Was your family going to be hosting the Christmas get-together tomorrow?

@jonas

That’s no fun! I remember being sick over Christmas before, too. Stomach bugs are the worst though….

Lukas 

“But…” Liv’s cheeks turned red. “I really like you too.”

Lukas couldn’t hold back his own blush. “Y-yeah. I guess th-that makes for a, a good relationship, r-right?” He laughed, whether with relief or at the way he fumbled over his own words he couldn’t tell. “Well, l-let’s keep d-dancing then.”

I don’t…[Read more]

@jonas

Oh that’s no fun. I’ll be praying.

Thankfully our family was able to get sick and get it over with before Christmas, but we’ve been sick around Christmas before, so I get it. 😅

@smiley

It was super interesting! I love family dynamics like this! I didn’t really have any critiques, but please tag me if you post more!
