Family traditions at Christmas are unique like each family (Image: Getty)
Some traditions are bizarre, some are commonplace, while others are the sweetest and most fun ideas that others may want to adopt into their own
In response to the question, “what are some interesting or fun traditions you follow?” in a thread on , plenty of people came back with their answers.
One person celebrated the day before Eve with their best friend, who started their own friendly tradition that is rather sweet.
The post noted: “We always dress up in outfits, have dinner, some kind of activity and a movie.”
But the most touching part was that, at dinner each year, the pair of best friends “exchange a book” they picked for each other that has a personal note inside.

Another sentimental touch was shared by a husband who posted: “Every year my wife and I buy an ornament for our tree that corresponds with something that happened that year.
“So we have a tree filled with all of these weird, wacky ornaments, like a tennis ball (we started playing tennis that year)… Ship Captain Nutcracker (our first cruise)…
“It’s such a fun tradition in December to debate what we to get and then finding something. And then reliving them all when we put them up.”
Another family implements the “Christmas Eve box”, which makes the day feel extra special.

“For Christmas Eve, we were given one gift early, and it was a box with Christmas pjs, a mug, hot chocolate mix, popcorn, and a Christmas movie,” the post began.
“We would get to open it around lunchtime, and we’d spend the rest of the evening in our new jammies having cocoa and movies together.”
Another person quipped: “We hide a pickle in the Christmas tree, the person who finds it gets an extra present.”
Another added: “Christmas cookies and mimosas for breakfast on Christmas morning.”
