Growing up in Eastern Canada we used to participate in Mummers play - basically people would dress up and visit neighbors - used to go on for the 12 days of Christmas. Involved a lot of food and booze.

Not a very old tradition but for the last 12 years I adopt a family for Christmas .
On Christmas Eve I go to the shelter and serve food.
On Christmas day I have a big dinner for any of the college kids who don't have family
or can't get home for the holidays.

You are sweet. Our son and his husband do that for Thanksgiving.
Have a very Merry Christmas!
You are one special guy.
