Do at least one tradition a year

We used to pass out gifts from youngest to oldest, one present each. Hold up new clothing item, model it. Eat shrimp and cold cuts with ritz crackers. Sauerkraut and pickled herring for dad. Midnight mass, was a must then come home late but wake up early the next day. We’d put up the tree to the tune of Jackson Five. At least five huge gifts from Santa and then Rhodes rolls Carmel rolls for breakfast. I remember at least one doll house, a treasure chest filled with trolls. I remember eating candy from my stocking till it finally ran out when winter break was over.
