In about two weeks, I’ll go home to Ohio for Christmas. In addition to the usual traditions—stockings on the mantel, Christmas Eve dinner with all my cousins, monkey bread for breakfast on Christmas morning—my sisters, cousins, and I will watch National Lampoon’s “Christmas Vacation” with my grandmother, just as we do every year. It’s a strange tradition dating back at least 10 years, and it’s one of my favorites.
In the comments, tell us about your favorite holiday tradition!
