"Make cakes?" You mean like actually cook?

Yep! My aunt makes them now. My grandmother originated the tradition though. Very good. She made the best homemade pound cake from scratch.

I started watching 24 on Christmas. They played the entirety of the first season. I had the second season DVDs by the next week.

Until we had kids, we would go to a Chinese restaurant, if we weren't at one of our parents' houses.

When I was a kid, we left beer, mince pies and a carrot for Rudolph lol.

Both of my kids do. My daughter got very excited in Target a couple of weeks ago. There's a guy who looks very much like the Coca Cola Santa Claus who works there. He plays it up too.

We leave cookies and milk for Santa and open everything before anyone can eat or start cooking anything.
