* No Christmas song list would be complete without this one…
And what have you done?
Do you and/or your family have any traditional charitable activities during the season?

KC, I changed the question, so I deleted your comment to keep from embarrassing you. It now reads: Do you and/or your family have any traditional charitable activities during the season?
Sorry.

We get my dad a goat every year from World Vision so it goes to a family that needs it somewhere….

My father-in-law (an Illinois snow bird) used to volunteer and help at a Methodist orphanage in Florida when he and his wife were staying in Florida during the winters. When he died about 8 years ago, my wife and I decided to make a donation in his memory to this Florida orphanage each Christmas.

I donate an Illinois whitetail to hunters for the hungry, I urge others to do the same, in this economic climate feed those who are in need. feliz navidad

To answer your question, unfortunately No. But I tutor a kid during the school year and would encourage everyone to consider signing up to do something similar; charities/social service orgs need help outside the holiday season as well!

Traditions? We plug our ears when Yoko sings.
But I like this song. It’s pretty and sweet.
The worst Christmas song of all time? “A Wonderful Christmas Time” by Paul McCartney. It was cranked up at Sears the other night and I about went postal. Fortunately, it was followed by “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” Not Christmassy, but a toe-tapping number that redeemed Paul.
