Our tradition is to ignore xmas but enjoy the time off! Mmmm... Sacrelicious.
This year, for the first time ever, I get 10 days off from work!! 24-Dec-2005 to 2-Jan-2006 inclusive! I plan to make the most of it, and astronomy is going to be #1 on the agenda again this year.
Last year's xmas night was the night when I first saw Saturn through a poor quality telescope and I was glued to the eyepiece for hours watching what I now consider to be a blurry image not worth bothering with. But at the time I was amazed, and, as a result, I was hooked.
