What is your most unusual Christmas tradition?

[KingsCalls]

It use to be going rabbit hunting on Christmas morning with my grandfather, until he passed away 10 years ago. Now I really don't have anything unusual I do.

this is just a hint for all you stressed out moms...........one year I was working 12 hour shifts at the steel plant and coming home exhausted and stressing out because the housework was waaaaayyyy behind...well at the last minute I realized there were cob webs all over the chandelier in the dining room!

my solution?........................... I sprinkled silver glitter all over them and they were beautiful.

what do y'all have against rednecks? Having lived half my life on the "REDNECK RIVIERA" and my childhood in Appalachia, I take offense to the tone of that sentence. Are you implying that a majority of "rednecks" have buck "teef" and therefore improper or less proficient dental care than where you reside? What are you talking about,DUDE?
All y'all take care!

Well heck, I couldda called them hillbilly teeth or hey how about british teeth. LMAO

This is a great thread! We started the "Take a Pic With a Chicken" tradition! It was so much fun! My 87-year-old father who was raised a "country-boy" just loved it...here is his pic with my Barred Rock, Lizzie.

Doesn't he look happy?



Edited to add: Thanks for the idea, jerryobaby!

I miss our strangest Christmas tradition: giving blood. This time of year blood is in short supply. Unfortunately demand goes up right after Christmas and NewYears. I have been unable to donate for quite a while, but I hope to be able to this year.

We always have fondue on Christmas Eve at my parents' house. I don't know how we got started, but we've been doing it for about 40 years. And for Christmas, my husband always gets a new Christmas CD - but not a traditiional one. Last year's was "A Toolbox Christmas" where all the songs are played using power tools. He has a Jeff Foxworthy "Redneck Christmas", Jimmy Buffet's CD, and, of course, the one with dogs doing Christmas songs! I think this year he's getting one with Twisted Sister doing Christmas caroles!

WE make Christmas poo. My mom has a bit of a twisted sense of humor and she lives fake poo out all year in her living room. A few years ago my kids and I were making cinnamon christmas ornaments to give out and we made her a pil efor her tree. Now every year we have to make Grandma some Christmas poo!

Hey, it's fun and at least this kind smells good
