What are your Christmas Eve traditions?
It's only a week until Christmas Eve! 
In our house we never really know what to do with ourselves – the daytime is for food prep but the evening is often a bit hard to fill. What do you all like to do with your Christmas Eves?

We tend to watch a Christmas movie or play some board games

Well we had a fondue, played Trivial Pursuit until [redacted family member] got too wine drunk to be able to read the question cards, then watched Nativity!

Salmon Wellington sounds alright, well I'm glad younall had a good time. Hope you've had a lovely Christmas so far
My tradition:
Meeting friends, preparing the foods, eating them, talking with each other, unwrapping gifts and playing board games now and then.

by Geo Lover 7Today isn't really Christmas. It's Boxing Day (Basically just a bank holiday because it's the day after Christmas.)
The boxing day counts to Christmas in Germany, we have three of them. The last two ones are boxing days for Germans, strictly speaking.
