every year for as long as i can remember we've always had pork chops for christmas dinner. my grandma always made them when my mom was little so we do too. we open our presents on christmas eve and do stockings on christmas morning. do you have a family tradition for the holidays? what is it? how long has it been around? who started it? is there a tradition in the making?

We always had roast beef, I have no idea why, maybe it came from a time when things were hard and so was a great treat. I'll bet it didn't cost what it costs now. We're having ham. You might want to change your icon, the first time I tried to put a picture up mine went sideways also I just removed it and tried again. I'm sure there is a way to fix it but I don't know how.

The only tradition we have is to be together during Christmas and sharing the Christmas meal. This is all that I can ask for, being together at Christmas. Cheers!!

We have always had turkey for Christmas dinner. We always went to my grandmas house ever since I was born we would then open packages on Chrismtas day we had Christmas at our own house before leaving for grandmas. My grandma passed away 5 years ago and we still go to her house as my mom and aunt live there now and we still have turkey dinner and open packages.
