Driving home for Christmas

Last week, I invited people to swap Christmas traditions. There weren't many takers, so I present here a small selection of traditions anyone can choose from.

1. Read 101 Dalmations.
2. Buy a new bauble for the tree.
3. Read Tolkien's The Father Christmas Letterson Christmas Eve, preferably an illustrated edition.

(These traditions belong to [livejournal.com profile] huskyteer, [livejournal.com profile] lnr and me, respectively.)

Let me know if you give any of them a whirl. Especially if you're currently gritting your teeth for a Christmas with not-especially-compatible relations (in which case, my sympathy!)

I'm currently indulging in another Christmas tradition, that of being in crap traffic on the M1. I don't recommend it at all.

Fleeing the country probably hit both the "expensive" and "hard to organise" barriers I put in the original post :)

The mincemeat one is a great idea, though. I don't really like mincemeat, but [livejournal.com profile] rapperaddict keeps telling me I should try Tudor-style mince pies.

Dare I ask what Bumfest is? Will I regret enquiring?
