Re: The annual OS Christmas thread 2021
Put the tree up the day after Thanksgiving. It's a new fiber optic one and it's pretty awesome.
I always get more excited for Christmas eve than day. That was when all my family on my dad's side got together when I was a kid. We would celebrate at my grandma's and grandpa's house. They had an awesome finished basement. I would get to open all my presents from that side of the family that night.
Now that I'm older, and my grandparents are gone, my sister lives in Texas, so she only comes up here every other year or so, we still try to do something Christmas eve, even if it's just with my parents. And even they go to Texas to be with my sister pretty much every other year.
But the best part is we've always kept the Eve dinner tradition. We are Italian and have always had mushroom soup, spaghetti with white clam sauce, fried fish and fried shrimp. This probably seems weird to a lot of people. Just going off what people tell me when I tell them what we eat lol. But it's a tradition going back to my grandfather in Italy.
Even though it's just gonna be my wife, parents and my aunt and cousin this year, I'm still excited for it.
