Christmas traditions

Dear all
Christmas is coming the geese are getting FLAT...

I would love to share a little Christmas Spirit with you when we meet. As you know, we are a mixed group of people and I thought; why not make good use of that? So I would like you to prepare a short presentation of your favourite Christmas/New Years traditions - let us hear a little bit from all the wonderful cultures and experiences that you represent!

I am not unwilling to host a small competition: If you want, you may bring a taste of your favourite goodies, cookies, fruits or chocolates....
