Okay, the holiday's are approaching closer then I would like.. just finished wrapping about 80% of my presents and realized one thing..

I must wrap my xmas present (and been doing so since 1999) to the Sailormoon R movie

a long long time ago when BSSM came out i notice while shopping for presents, a bootleg of a japanese version of Sailormoon, at the time I've only been exposed to the DUB version (im not getting into it now its a to long of a story) and it just threw me for a loop, I popped it in and started wrapping and was like WTF? this is awesome.. and an OTAKU was born..

ever since then I must put in my R movie to do any xmas wrapping, i have upgraded to the DVD's now but i have no idea why i must do this..

anyone else have a wierd xmas tradition?

On Christmas Eve after church, my family must always eat popcorn shrimp and macaroni and cheese for supper while listening to Nat King Cole's Christmas album. Always. When we decorate the tree, we only use ornaments that we (the kids) made or that we received as gifts --no generic store-bought ornaments whatsoever. That one's not exactly weird, but it's the only other tradition we really have.

We always have a tradition where all my relatives see who can kiss up to my Grandmother the most (since she's old, sick, and rich). Then various family members have breakdowns, get drunk & starts fight with everyone else.

good times roll

bah-freakin'-humbug

I go to my mom's house and give her a present. I know it's weird but that is what I do.

My wife and I like to drive around the local neighborhoods
and look at the Christmas decorations on people's houses
while we listen to Christmas music on the radio.
Any other time of year this would be creepy.

My In-Laws give out a gift wrapped in an army tarp every year. It started because it was difficult to wrap somethinmg as big as a bicycle, etc. Now it is still givem even if there is not a large present.
