Love this thread!  Thanks so much for sharing your holiday traditions! 

We celebrate with my husband's family on Christmas Eve for lunch & then watch the George C. Scott version of a Christmas Carol with my parents in the evening. 



Christmas Day is a combined luncheon with family & friends at my parents house.  The meal is typically including a HoneyBaked Ham, Stove Top stuffing, King's Hawaiian rolls, au gratin potatoes, mashed potatoes & gravy, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, & cranberry sauce. 



Throughout the day we'll typically listen to festive music (Elvis, Andy Williams, etc.), watch the Yule log, catch a game, and enjoy some fun holiday movies.



On the decor side, my parents really get festive in every room which we love to enjoy while we're visiting for the holidays.  At our place, we're tight on space but we love to decorate the living room.  This year our theme was Blue Christmas.



Hoping everyone had a great holiday with family & friends!

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!  Cheers to health & happiness in 2024!

Is that an Elvis reference?  ;D

I love the blue theme of your Christmas room.  It gives me a feeling of cold air and snow, something we didn't get in northeast Ohio this Christmas.

Thanks so much!  We had fun with the frosted blue tinsel tree & twinkle lights.  ❄️Snowflakes, Bumble, & the cat Igloo made it fun & whimsical.  & Yes, definitely a little nod to Elvis with the naming 😉.
