Late Christmas Eve: Get a mince pie and a carrot. Take a bite out of both and place on a plate near the fireside. Pour a glass of port and drink most of it and leave almost empty glass next to plate.
Christmas Morning ... first thing the kids see is the plate and glass ... to prove that Santa had been!
Done it for more than 19 years now .... but think my eldest Ben (20) is beginning to twig!

Giving each other our personal presents on Christmas Eve before the family Catholic (the mother) goes off to mass, then getting the stuff from the parents on Christmas morning
Getting up at 3AM so the computer game you got would be installed by around 5AM (I know they now take 20 minutes, but on a Pentium 100 they took their damn time)

Got round that one Dave.
Over the years bought the scalextric for each of my kids and as they leave home (2 so far!) I have claimed it, as I tell them they must be too old for it now!!!!!

When i was 16, i awoke on Christmas morning having poo-ed my pants and been sick over my own face.
I had a good Christmas Day after that, so superstition suggests i ought to do this every year.

I made a cardboard stable when I was about 8.
27 years on & my Mum still puts it on display in her lounge
"Do you remember making that..................?" is usually the first topic of conversation

I always have to get absolutely pissed out of my head, then try to build some complex plastic space station or something, get it all wrong, lose some bits, make the boy cry, have a massive argument with the missus, insult her mother, punch a hole in the toilet door and then storm off down the pub and sleep in the car.
It's a time-honoured a family tradition.

Having a star not an angel on top of the Christmas Tree - which is always a real one, and only has white lights on it (not coloured ones) - along with the dozens of special decorations made by the kids over the years.
