Hit me with your family Christmas traditions.

[Santosha]

So as I've lamented in a previous thread, DH is the Grinch. He's just not into Christmas and I'm trying to find ways to inspire a bit of spirit in him over the coming years so that it might become a time that he actually enjoys with our beautiful DD.

Lovely helpful BBers were suggesting that I try and start some family traditions of our own that don't revolve around the things he seems so cynical about. (Think: Santa, tinsel, lights on houses, cheesy music)

So I'm looking for ideas. What does your family do at Christmas time that makes it special for you and your kids/partner? What did you do with your family when you were growing up that you really loved?
