Christmas Traditions

[iwasthere]

i watch the Christmas Day Mass from the Vatican every Christmas Eve/early Christmas morning due to the six hrs difference in time zones. i also watch the Glen Miller movie on Christmas Eve too. my frds and me dance to the music while the movie is being shown.

I've always liked turning on "The Christmas Story" marathon on Christmas Eve, and leaving the TV on overnight.  As I go in and out of deep sleep overnight, I catch different parts of the movie.

Also, as I said in another thread, a tradition I have for myself is putting up outside Christmas lights while they are blowing the old steam-whistles at the B&O.  It makes me think what my neighborhood was like when the whistles were serving their original purpose.
