My favorite christmas food is red borscht with dumplings and my favorite dessert is noodles with poppy seeds and honey.
My favorite movie is “Kevin Home Alone” . It has become a Polish tradition to watch it every year.
My Christmas Wish is a new toaster because my old one broke last month.

Prewarning: This is a bit of a sad/happy story about family loss, just wanted to warn anyone in case they're not in the mindset to read it at the moment.
Share a fun Christmas story:
I'm fortunate enough to have quite a big family and a close one at that, with that comes the harsh reality that some don't get to celebrate Christmas that year with us and many have passed away around December in our family. So while it might sound super depressing we've learnt to celebrate every Christmas by all having a drink at Christmas for those that didn't make it to that Christmas and those that passed around that date.
We all share our memories, stories and jokes regarding our loved ones and it's one of my favourite parts of our Christmas celebrations, while it being a bit of a sad one. It just makes you appreciate all the memories you've made this year just that bit more and appreciate getting to celebrate Christmas together another year.
It also leads onto another story, when my Grandad passed away on the 1st of December many years ago (I was like 9? and I'm 21 now) he managed to get Christmas presents for us all that year, all keepsakes or things to remember him by. I still have the gift he gave me to this day and remember him everytime I see it, I can't thank him enough for doing that.

THE GRINCH, I love this movie and will watch it multiple times every year around this time. I have no idea why I love it so much, but it never fails to cheer me up and get me in the Christmas mood. I usually watch it with my Siblings, which gets harder to do each year as we get older but we always manage to do.

My favorite Christmas story revolves around my grandma. I do not see her often but when I do she always makes me very stressed out. For almost no reason she will just breathe in very loudly and will scare everyone because she is pretty old. I'll be opening a gift or we are just eating Christmas dinner and then "AH". The worst part is that my Mom is starting to do it as well and I live with her

Story time:
Once when i was few years old our parents and rest of family wanted to troll us a bit and when there was a moment to go to the bathroom to wash hands after Christmas eve, usually after we went out of bathroom presents were under xmas tree but this time when we backed to the room with my brother and cousin we were surprised that there are no presents just 3 sticks with card with our names. They told us that Santa Claus came and told them that no presents for us this time :< They would keep us trolling for longer but grandfather saw that we got sad so he got up from table, he went to front doors, opened it and said to us to come there bcs Santa Claus left presents here, when we noticed that they are behind front doors instantly smile appeared on our faces 😊

This was a Christmas from about 4 years ago (I think?). At the time, I was in China and visiting family at the time. There wasn't anything special about this particular Christmas but my grandma/grandpa came down to park by my house and we had a small indoor picnic along with lots of side fruit dishes. We had steamed buns with meat filling, fried rice, and seafood (my hometown is known for its seafood dishes). After the meal, my grandma pulled me to the side and gave me a Christmas present (which I still have to this day and wear occasionally), a jade necklace shaped like a leaf. At the time, she told me a story about how it's been passed down in my family line for a long time. Now, looking back, I don't know if the story was true but, I still treasure the necklace because it's one of the only links back to my hometown now that China isn't accepting visitors.
I remember when I was little, I used to visit my cousin a lot because he had a PC and I loved playing games with him like Jazz Jackrabbit 2, Neighbours from Hell, Mortal Kombat and other classics.
When Christmas was approaching, I was staring at the stars through the window and I was trying to contact Santa, telling him I want "a computer with CDs just like my cousin has". Because that's what he used to play the games xD
My mom overheard me talking and tried to make my wish come true. Since she didn't know much about PCs and games, she thought I was referring to a gaming console. She bought me a SNES and told me that she met with Santa and gave her the present to deliver to me. It's such a sweet memory and it makes me remember how simpler were the times when I was just a child.

Without getting into too much detail, I'm fighting a progressive, deadly disease for which there is no known cure. It caused me to both lose and gain a lot. In the past year, I've lost a job, a house, a toxic ex-wife. But what I've gained is so much more. I moved almost 2000 miles to a beautiful place in southern California, got healthy, and got a wonderful new girlfriend who's gotten me back into gaming (LoL and Fortnite specifically). I am forging new traditions with this beautiful person. But from my childhood, I think the best tradition was decorating the tree with my mom. We'd specifically wait until about 10 days before Christmas, get a live tree either from our property or a local store, and bring out the decorations. We had so many beautiful old decorations, and it was such a treat to go through them and pick out what went on the tree that year. On XMAS day, a big meal with my sister and sometimes my brother. Just a really nice day.
I think my wish for this year is just for everyone to have what makes them the happiest; whether it be the day off to game, or spending time with loved ones and/or friends.
