Christmas traditions
What do you typically do for Christmas in your family/country? (That is, if you celebrate it at all).
What do you eat, are you alone or with the closest family or lots of relatives?
Do you celebrate it on the 24th or 25th? When do you open the presents?
This year I'm with my parents and my sister. The main day in Iceland is the 24th, we open the presents that night. I'm not 100% sure what we'll eat which day (we have nice food on the 24th, 25th and 31st), but I'm guessing lamb back and smoked and hanged lamb leg. On the 23rd we eat sting-rays.
We've got 13 Santa Clauses. Starting on the night of the 11th of December, children put their shoes in their window, and Santa comes early the morning after (way before the kids wake up) and puts something in the shoe.
