Your Family Traditions
Family traditions at Christmas can help make the festive season the most wonderful time of the year. They are all the little things we look forward to doing that make Christmas all the more magical.
We took to Twitter and Facebook to find out what your Christmas Family Traditions were and were amazed and warmed by the response. If we weren't feeling Chrsitmasy before reading your traditions, we certainly were afterwards! There were some funny, some quite unique and some completely random traditions, but all of them were beautiful in their own way! We've picked out some of our favourites here…

Ugly Santa
This is "Ugly Santa", he was my dear old Nans, passed onto my mum and then me when my wife and I got our first home… he comes out every year and now creeps out my daughter. I hate him but would never part with him… he reminds me of my Nan!
