How do you spend the holidays?

Hey, just wondering, what does everyone do for Christmas and New Years? Any special traditions? This is just out of curiosity, so it could be anything. :) 

I love to give presents away. And spend time with special people. And stay up late. And eat food. :)

Well eating a lot of food is common for all people, i guess. In Serbia there is no such tradition to give presents for Christmas, for the New Year yes, but for kids mostly. I will be home with my baby Pavle (Paul is most similar in english) and my wife will go with friends in some club, so I would hopefully get some sleep for 7 non working days for New Year hollidays. Christmas is later in ortodox, 07.01.2009.

very quietly.  just my family; great time of the year.  some holiday music in the background.

I spend the holidays wishing it was 2008 again.

#6 you got the right idea

That's when the thread was started...

Before it was bumped by @santned with an invaluable 'idk'. Now we know.
