I'm the most Kkkrackkkers of Amerikkkans so my tradition is just getting drunk off mulled wine and re-watching bad holiday movies with relatives I only kinda like.

I'm sometimes a little jealous of people who have weirder shit going on, like gremlins who slam doors and steal sausages or shitting Christmas logs. We need to bring back weird ass half-pagan shit.

We're Australian, so most of them, but goon (cask wine) of fortune comes to mind.

Otherwise fairly standard, go to a beach away from the tourist ones, bbq, pressies, zooper dooper ice blocks. General states of drunkeness.

South Africa has similar in general, when we're done with the cask wine you blow up the empty silver bladder into a balloon lol.

Yeah we got that, makes a great beach ball.

Pressies? Zooper duper ice blocks? What? What language is this?

[–] Yurt_Owl@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

Pressies just means presents. Likely a cask of VB from the bottle-o for the toddler.

Pav for the adults table, choc ripple for the kids. If the kids are lucky they can scrape the pav plate.

Some sangas maybe with hundreds and thousands. Bit average really but someone will whine like a pom if you leave em out.

Bowl of cheezles that one of your cousins stuck their fingers in, licked them, and then put back in the bowl. That you end up eating anyway by the end of the day

That cousin is 29 now, I swear he still probably does it. Its tradition after all

Goon of fortune seems more like a birthday or end of semester party thing to me

[–] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago
