Congratulations
on those Divination-levels Haha, and achieving the one thing I only started working on few weeks back (getting all skills at 90+)! Good luck with the next step!
When it comes to
.
Here, we don't really have the tradition of giving gifts to eachother at Christmas, because we have a tradition of doing that the night of 5 december, when St Nicolas comes to give the children their presents (but also the slightly overgrown children like me
). Allthough lots of families do both nowadays, yet not in my family.
We do get together on Christmas day, and we all prepare a dish since there's quite a lot of us. Usually it's at my parent's house but that can change. As a kid, I remember we always went to midnight mass on the 24th, and sing Christmas carols -which I loved!- but last 15 years they changed that to the afternoon of the 25th, mainly for the elderly. Therefor I usually can't attend anymore because I'm at work at that time, but if I can join my friends and family in a midnight mass nearby I'll make sure to be there!
Christmas
I can only second that it's the greatest time a year! When those days are getting shorter, colder and darker, I always get this feeling of -erm- solidarity between people, and how they get closer to eachother. And therefor, in my eyes, it's the most cosy time of year

I hope this kind of answers your question, and I'll most certainly have you added once I get back into the game (fingers crossed, new hard drive should arrive friday but then there's still the tiny little issue of getting it to work).
Untill then, cheers and have fun getting all skills to 91 and beyond!
(and get ready for Christmas, of course, just found out myself about this neat little shop that sells their own crafted christmas balls, in all themes, from erm the characters of Alice in Wonderland to Batman!
