My favorite Christmas tradition (that I miss mightily) is the open house my sister has every year.
Now this came about because my parents used to host Christmas dinner for the entire family every year when we were growing up (up to 30 people). After my parents divorced and we kids left home, that did not happen any longer.
So, my sister started having us over on Christmas morning. She would make various sweet bread, cookies, fried bread dough and other goodies for breakfast. Everyone goes over there (family and friends) and the big gift exchange happens. It is chaotic and fun and I miss it so much.
Once I have my own house, I'm going to start that tradition here in Middle Tennessee.
