It's the time of the year to settle down, spend time with the family, eat good food and exchange gifts. Everybody has their own traditions, both carried over from their own families as well as those invented just for them.
These unique combinations make each christmas special. We have spent many Christmases with both of our own parents and families. In recent years we have started to spend them just among our own family.
There are a lot of traditions adopted from both of our side, fit nicely together. We also have our own traditions we have established over the years. It's our unique combination of traditions that makes it feel our own. It would be hard to imagine spending the Christmas any other way. But our traditions have evolved over the years so they aren't necessary exactly the same year over year.
Family, good food, presents, sauna and boardgames are the core of our Christmas. Details might differ but as long as those are all present it's Christmas for us.
