I haven't been home for a while, but at home Christmas is a really big deal. It's common to make ice sculptures of some kind in your front yard as decoration. My family uses old milk cartons, pour water and food colouring in them and let them freeze outside. Then you take the milk cartons off, and you have coloured blocks of ice, which are usually put together to make a castle, a ship or a lighthouse. Then you put lights behind the sculpture, so it's very pretty at night. The women in my family have a cookie baking party just before Christmas as well, lots of different cookies are baked, and people take home a variety of cookies. If there's anyone single, they are encourged to go to a taffy pull... all single people who want to get married go to a taffy pull to meet someone haha. It's supposed to be good luck, to meet your spouse at Christmas time.
Christmas Eve we have fish for supper, usually salmon or cod. We go to Midnight Mass and open presents right after mass. Christmas Day everyone sleeps in, and our meal is lobster and roast beef, yorkshire pudding, christmas cake, etc. There's also locally made candy called Barley Candy and Chicken Bones. Barley Candy is on a stick and shaped like Christmas trees or Reindeer or whatever. Chicken Bones are pink cinnamon candies with a chocolate centre.
Then for the 12 days of Christmas (starting with Boxing Day, Dec.6, until Old Christmas Day, Jan. 6), the mummers come to your house, or you can go mummering yourself if you like. Mummers dress up in a weird costume, including a mask, and go to people's houses. They knock on the door, and say in a disguised voice, "any mummers 'loud in?" If you let them in, they will sing, dance, play an instrument or do some other kind of entertainment, in order to receive some grog, Christmas cake, or even money. You have to try and guess who they are, and if you can't, somebody from your house has to get dressed up like a mummer too and go out with them to the next house.

christmas is my favorite festival of all time, we usually throw a big party at my house with all family members and relatives and friends, so theres heaps of ppl , and we all do kris kringle underneath the christmas tree. We also have themes, so everyone has to dress up in christmas colours and a christmas character haha cool stuff eh?
I heard this song on the radio today and couldn't resist. This is a variation of the 12 Days of Christmas...redneck version. Those that live in or near the south should appreciate it. For a lot of folks in my neck of the woods, this ain't no joke! LOL
***********************************
(I'll just show the big finale)
On the twelth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
Twelve-pack of Bud
Eleven Wrastling tickets
Ten o' Copenhagen
Nine years probation
Eight table dancers
Seven packs of Redman
Six cans of Spam
Five flannel shirts
Four big mud tires
Three shotgun shells
Two hunting dogs
... And some parts to a Mustang GT.
:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
