Eeep, huge ass candles, looks scary.. They're real right?

 

[Glyph]

Very real, just lighted them all there

 

[Thorarin]

Very real, just lighted them all there

Better keep an eye on them then, and keep some water close just in case

It might be less charming, but electrical candles are a lot more practical and safe imo

 

[Glyph]

They go out by themselves, so its very safe.

We always light them just before unwrapping the presents (we do that in the evening in denmark), then we sit around and unwrap and talk until the lights goes out...then ppl go to bed or to their computer

 

[Mishy]

Glyph's tree > shy's tree imo.

edit: btw, in shy's pic, you can see the tiny present i sent her!

 

['Shy]

Glyph's tree > shy's tree imo.

Only 55 minutes till we can open our presents!!!

 

[Thorarin]

Hmmm, we always did it in the evening of the 25th, nerf
I'm not sure when most people do the presents thing here in the Netherlands, not everybody even does presents, because we have Sinterklaas on the 5th of December.
That's pretty much the origin of Santa Claus and Christmas presents anyway, maybe combined with Chanoeka.

 

[Fedaykin]

my tree sucks tbh :/ not even got any lights

[Thorarin]

Sinterklaas=Dutch custom. An old man rides on his horse over the roofs with his Black Minions, handing out presents to all the good kids and the bad kids he puts in his sack and takes wif him to Madrid, Spain Anyway, tis on the 5th of December, so loads of parents just skip Christmas pressies.

 

[Thorarin]

Aye, and Chanukah is an old Jewish custom where everybody gives eachother gifts, also around Christmas time.

Hanukkah (Related: Judaism)

(khä´neke, -nookä) , in Judaism, the Festival of Lights, the Feast of Consecration, or the Feast of the Maccabees ; also transliterated Chanukah. According to tradition, it was instituted by Judas Maccabeus and his brothers in 165 BC to celebrate the dedication of the new altar in the Temple at Jerusalem. The festival occurs in December near the time of the winter solstice, as does Christmas, and lasts eight days. Hanukkah later came to be linked also with a miraculous cruse of oil that burned for eight days, leading to the practice of lighting special Hanukkah candles, one the first evening, two the second, and so on. The eight-branched candlestand (menorah) used in that ceremony is a frequent symbol for the holiday.

I have started my own personal custom.

Everything that smells of chocolate gets opened (and quite possibly consumed) on Christmas Eve..the rest gets opened Christmas Day morning.
