Discourse showed a few topics similar to this one… none since 2015, so I figure I’m safe creating another one. A long, long time ago… My FIL worked at a local Ace Hardware. It’s Christmas Eve. Our tree had been up for weeks. He calls and says “You want a Christmas Tree? We’re giving away anything we have left.” Thought about it for a bit, and said “save me one 5’ or 6’.” That night, Santa brought a tree and set it up in my kids room with lights and an angel on top and everything. Every year after that, Santa would bring a tree and put it up in the youngest kids’ room. Had to be 15 years of doing that, and NEVER had a kid wake up on me setting up the tree. So, what other unique traditions do you have? Stories, please! --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/unique-family-holiday-traditions/955605)._
