Family Christmas Traditions

Turkey hunt in the supermarkets, for some reason my children enjoy it, 70 percent off is the aim.

I remember my mum wouldn't let any of us start eating Christmas dinner unless we put on the paper hat out of our Christmas crackers, lol

We were always told not to open our chocolate selection boxes until after breakfast (same for our Easter eggs at Easter ). We always managed to sneak some chocolate before breakfast, I think my parents knew really but as it's Christmas they didn't say anything.

We used to have lots when the children were younger but now they are adults we don’t have any now.

Every year we sent our letter to Santa up the chimney. My dad would do it each year. On Christmas morning i remember we were told to open our stockings in our room first and then wait for a bit before waking our parents. We sometimes tiptoed down the hall to see if Santa had been. But we didn't do it every year.
