I’m the most Kkkrackkkers of Amerikkkans so my tradition is just getting drunk off mulled wine and re-watching bad holiday movies with relatives I only kinda like.

I’m sometimes a little jealous of people who have weirder shit going on, like gremlins who slam doors and steal sausages or shitting Christmas logs. We need to bring back weird ass half-pagan shit.

I’m Polish-American, so we break bread, specifically these church wafers called pwatki(sp?). Also around that time and New Years, there’s the tradition of “Cannibal Sandwiches”. Despite making plans of being pescatarian in 2 years, I will be enjoying some raw beef on rye this year.

Having the main Christmas celebrations the night before Christmas and spending Christmas day relaxing while constipated and slightly hungover.

Making offerings of porridge with butter on top to minor pagan household spirits that lives in the attic. These pagan spirits are far more popular as Christmas ornaments than Christian symbols.

Dancing around the Christmas tree while singing a mixture of hymns and secular Christmas songs, then dancing through every room in the house while singing a nonsensical song about Christmas lasting until Easter.

Drinking mulled wine with raisins and chopped almonds. Often spherical pancakes are served with this.

Can confirm the first one is true for Brazil (At least northeastern Brazil) as well. We all celebrate on the 24th at night and the 25th is largely ignored.

Hmm, nothing too weird… my ethnic culture technically recognizes the Christmas season at the start of September, and in those last 9 days before Christmas, we have a novena, essentially a series of masses that lasts 9 days…

Oh and we also eat rice cakes w/ margarine…
