Every family has their own cherished and beloved holiday traditions, but for some, a handful of hopelessly 'dumb' ones remain alive and kicking as well. Jimmy Fallon, the master of hashtags, helped us deck the halls this week by encouraging Tonight Show viewers to share the most downright questionable Christmas traditions their families are still practicing each year. #MyDumbTradition participants delivered, and here at Bored Panda, we thought it would be a bit of festive fun to gather the best responses together into a big, 'dumb' list for your viewing pleasure. Scroll down to see them all, and be sure to vote for the ones that your own family shamefully (or shamelessly) carries on.

    The fact that your daughters are already/almost adults and they still love it is proof of how totally AWESOME this tradition is!

    My entire family of my mother's side hates my Father. This is just mean. I am only saying this because I know that if anyone finds out, your family will fall apart. Just like mine did.

    My husband tried to talk our daughter into pizza and beer this year. I told him Santa can't get caught with a fui (flying under the influence).

    My sister would take a very cruel advantage of such tradition. And so would I.

    Does the Gingerbread family know they only have a week or so to live?

    Reminds me of a Thanksgiving with my ex in-laws. As we clasped hands standing around the coffee table, I looked down, and got tickled. The overhead view of that same pilgrim looked as if he were an aroused pilgrim. Try it sometime.

    At least, it's not the petrified gnome in a tutu Fred and George used as a Christmas tree top (for those who don't get it, it's a moment from the Harry Potter books).

    That sounds like a nice tradition. In a competitive world, it's nice to see parents take a beat and acknowledge their children's milestones, whatever they may be...
