"Weird" Christmas/New Years holiday traditions

Thread Starter 
What Christmas/New Years holiday traditions do you and yours perform each and every single year? Do you do them just because or do you have a reason for doing them? Do you find them embarrassing? Do others think they are weird and you could care less?

Me? I watch Sleepaway Camp every New Years Eve sometime before the ball drops. I can't tell you exactly why the tradition started, I just know I've done it for at least the last 5 years.

Don't enough balls drop in that film as it is?

Iggy, aren't you getting a little cocky with these puns?

Keep the puns coming, Ig. I'm "nuts" about 'em.

I watch the original Wicker Man, usually after I get in after Midnight. I've done this for the last seven years, ever since I first saw it on TV in the early hours of New Years Day.

Well, either I try to hit on females at somebody's house party, or from my house, as someone is always going to be online at said house party I wasn't invited to, lending my come-ons impossible to reciprocate and an air of desperation, if either party isn't drunk enough; yet, if she actually is on the internet at a New Year's party, I can be thankful it's disappointing and I couldn't attend. Fortunately, they usually are online, and also drunk, and in the latter scenario I at least avoid being cosy with an already taken woman, which is painfully futile and retroactively awkward, as I won't be aware of this till the morning, after the slobbering New Year's commencement.

We'll be doing a big ass bbq here. This year my family has scattered around (my lucky brother is spending the night at a party held in an office building on times square, fucker!) and only 6 of us will be having dinner together. So we'll change quantity for quality. Only getting the finest and most expensive cuts for tonight.

Then, we'll get hammered and I'll probably hit a party or two with some friends.

What are you chewers up to tonight?

We used to eat grapes and drink wine during the new years countdown.

Tonight I will watch Ga Tech run all over LSU, play some landmine, and drink some Jager. Also my friends have been talking about playing Edward 40 hands and trying an Hour of Power at 11. Basically, I'm just drinking.

I usually spend New Year's Eve with the in-laws. It's customary for Filipinos to eat food that is long (like spaghetti) or round (like pizza) for the final meal before the new year, or at least that's how it has been explained to me.

Feel free to make as many dick jokes as possible now. I'm just happy to drink as many beers as I want, since they come in round bottles.

And those beers usually come in long bottles. So you're good to go.

No...

Too easy.

Being an old man, I will have a few drinks, watch the fireworks over the bay, listen for the screeching tires, the metal-tearing crashes and the sirens that immediately follow, then drift off to sleep.

I've got three cans of Boddington's, a beer glass and a 360. See out on Live folks.

Enjoy it, you blessed bastard.
