    We always have this buffet thing in the evening seen as we're all too full from christmas dinner to eat anything proper - pringles, dips, ham, pork pies etc. Fucking fantastic.

    Christingle (the only time when kids voluntarily sit through 1 1/2 hours boring church service - free sweeties!)

    Carol singing.

    Used to do this as kids and earn a small fortune and get fat off free mince pies.

    Christmas food is fantastic. No wonder most people put on weight over the holiday season.

    The Snowman! It's a christmas tradition to watch that :D
    When I have kids, I'm going to piss them off every christmas by making them watch this and telling them every year that this was first aired in the year I was born :yippe:

    School Nativity Plays - I make it a point to get invited to at least one every year. They're great, and have huge comedic potential :lol:

    In no really order,

    Seeing the whole family,

    Gving and reciving presents,

    Chirstmas dinner, even brussel sprouts,

    Playing games as a family,

    Slowly getting drunker as the day does on,

    The warm fizz feeling you get from being together and see all the little, children out in the street playing with thier new toys,

    The wrapping paper and bubble wrap (I'm a big kid at heart) and

    Crackers.
