Here Are 59 Cozy And Magical Child Photos By Iwona Podlasinska That Show What Childhood Is All About

Hey Pandas, What Is A Weird Christmas Tradition You Have?
Going to some nearby pine plantations and getting an absolute MONSTER tree (from self seeded weed trees in the creeks and firebreaks). We have a mezzanine and a double height living room so a 5+ metre tree will fit even though you can hardly get in the front door and half the living room is swamped in prickly, sweet scented pine. It’s like in ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ when the forest grows in Max’s bedroom. We never quite get rid of all the needles before the next Christmas. This tradition began accidentally in 2015 when I was in hospital and my husband took the kids and got a giant tree. In 2019-20 bushfires fires ripped through half of Kangaroo Island but our favourite tree and picnic spot was only lightly burned; it’s kind of surreal, blackened trunks and more light coming through, but still some green. But this year we went 4 wheel driving and explored the REALLY burned bits which were truly haunting. Now they’re threatening to fell and burn all the island’s forestry after planning approval for a port was refused so our days of this tradition are numbered. So much emotion tied up with it!

For 5 years in a row, some member of the family enden up in the emergency room on Christmas Eve or the day earlier. From gastroenteritis, to kitchen accidents. It was almost scary how this happened for 5 years straight (not serious injuries or illnesses but still something that needed medical attention). So, on the sixth year nothing happened, and it felt weird. We decided to go to the clinic we used to go every year and deliver the staff some hit beverages and cake (the family runs a bakery shop). Now, fortunately, we're on our 9th year without accidents on Christmas Eve, but still go to the clinic and get the staff their beverages and cake, that now our tradition -and a much better one than injury oneself 😂-.

Spaghetti and meatballs Christmas Eve. December 24th was my parents' anniversary, and spaghetti sauce can be made the day before. Pasta in the pot, sauce in a saucepan (what else?), and three hungry little boys are quickly fed and tossed out the back door (or upstairs) until bedtime so mom and dad can celebrate their marriage in peace (before being up all night setting up Christmas for the three little boys). Maybe not so weird, but unusual.

When we went to Grandma's house for Christmas, her house was insanely small. So everyone (her 6 kids, their spouses, and all had at least 2 kids) would find a spot on the floor, sit, and not move until the unwrapping was done. Except Grandpa. He stood in the doorway to the kitchen, and catch all the wrapping paper thrown at him after someone opened a present. After he passed away, we all take turns "being Grandpa", and get used wrapping paper thrown at us for hours. It's a coveted job.Show All 24 Upvotes
