Christmas Traditions

I'm sure most of you have your Christmas traditions.  My family has none, a by product of an upbringing where Christmas isn't such a huge deal.  Maybe that's why I love Christmas so much - wistfully looking at your traditions of big family lunches, days at the beach, bon bons and paper hats.  I want that. I have my own Christmas traditions, but it's a solitary affair.

For me, Christmas Eve is about a glass of fine brandy and Vince Guaraldi Trio's seminal Christmas classic A Charlie Brown Christmas Soundtrack, a collection of 11 songs of upbeat jazz, choiral singing and a few christmas covers that evoke the feeling of peace, love, family and friendship that to me is the true essence of Christmas.
