My partner and I spend Christmas with her family; parents, 2 sisters and a brother, and the 5 nieces and nephews. (My family is in South Africa, and we live in Minnesota, USA).
Father Christmas / Santa … What is your family tradition when it comes to Santa ??Back in South Africa we call him Father Christmas and we’d always leave 2 cookies out on a plate and a glass of milk for Father Christmas, get to bed as early as we could and wake up way too early on Christmas day to see what he brought us. This tradition continued on to my brothers children and of course my one brother wakes up earlier then his two daughters and wakes them up LOL!
What do you usually do on Christmas Day ??
In Minnesota we have the morning at home, my partner and I and our two puppies of course. Then around 1/2pm we head over to Jeanna’s parents house and partake in the celebrations of the day, just been with family, joking and talking, playing with the nieces and nephews and maybe some new video game action/challenges LOL!!
What’s the Best Thing about Christmas to you ??
Celebrating the Birth of Christ, Spending time with Family, gifts (of course gifts are awesome) I much prefer giving gifts, especially to children then receiving them. And of course amazing food ! ! !
It was great to read how you spend your Christmas! Australia is very similiar to South Africa at this time of year, no snow for us either 🙁
It is SO different to think of Christmas in the summertime!!
Thanks for sharing!
Merry Christmas.
