A family game of Monopoly on Christmas Eve, sat around the fireplace. Except, we don't have a fireplace anymore, so we just play on a table. But always Monopoly on Christmas Eve.
A tradition for us is that we actually celebrate Christmas.
We are an Iranian family living in Sweden. We are not Muslim, so why not? Free stuff! :v:
And a nice way to gather the entire family.
Die Hard movies.
Get stupidly drunk with family.

And when the game is finished, you can open presents on Christmas morning! :v:

On the fifth of December we leave food for a fungus horse so an old Spanish saint doesn't abduct us and make his slaves thrash us with bundles of sticks.
It's a Dutch tradition called Sinterklaas. I've never celebrated Christmas before, but it sounds fun. Also marginally less psychotic.
Wake up, wake parents up, open presents, eat fry up, sleep until christmas dinner, eat while wrapped up in a blanket, sleep until main course, eat while wrapped up in a blanket, sleep until desert, eat while wrapped up in a blanket, piss around with presents, sleep until boxing day.
open presents, EAT A CHOCOLATE ORANGE OVER THE REST OF THE DAY (highlight of my life right there), go to other places and open some other presents, mope as i am dragged off to some relatives' house and do nothing in particular there for a couple hours, go home, sleep
Watch the Great Escape.
Watch Home Alone I and II
Snacks on Christmas Eve, all day with a huge dinner at around 4 PM. At around 7 PM we open family presents around the tree and then watch a movie from a movie basket that we get every year.
It's great.
As I've seen Die Hard not so long ago I'm going to watch this now:

Also I always end up playing some World in Conflict in the morning so that counts as a tradition.

Polish family, Polish tradition: fast all day (very poorly) then have 12 courses/meals in the evening, lots of alcohol and wish each other good health and stuff like that.
Go to our Church's Christmas service on Christmas Eve, have a very nice dinner and then watch Elf whilst opening one present before Christmas itself.

Hell yes
My family usually plays board games and drink and watch A Christmas Story at least once.
and we eat a lot
We also get up ungodly early, around 4am.
My family tells racist jokes. Model family right here.
My family and I go to our local church, then open one small Christmas present on Christmas Eve.
Then huge home made dinner, which is probably the best part.
Usually spend time with family. But I just got Skyrim a couple days ago.
New tradition.
Christmas Eve, see Grandparents
Christmas, opening presents with close family
Eat chocolate, watch movies and sleep.
This is my first Christmas here at my Dad's house (I usually run off to my Mom's for Christmas)
Man my stepmom is fucking cranky. From now on it's tradition for me to talk as much shit as possible.
Eat Chinese food on Christmas eve.
Every Christmas morning, we have cinnamon rolls with green icing and cherries on top. Since I didn't have anything to really give to my family, I decided to make breakfast with little Skyrim styled sweet rolls instead.

They were fus roh dahlicious.
Christmas eve: party, get drunk.
Christmas: nurse hangover.
I ask hookers for hugs.
Go over to parents for Christmas dinner, along with 30 other family members, all in which annoy the fuck out of me. I come packing Tylenol. I get at least 10 aunts who tell me how much I've grown up even though I've looked the same for the past 6 years, they think I'm successful because I went to college despite working at a grocery store, and generally there is "awkward story time" in which they talk about the most embarrassing shit on earth. Including body excrement.
go to relatives houses and play Christmas carols on guitar. eat five cavities worth of candy. watch Charlie brown Christmas special.
