I think the fact that my current most treasured Christmas tradition is a trip to a dive bar in La Mesa on Xmas Eve by myself speaks volumes.
I jokingly call myself a once a year regular.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Don't forget that the holiday season is also now your Kilt-iversary!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
For those of you who read Slacktivist, this week's Left Behind Friday is especially good.
My, that was painful.
I mean the book, not the blog....

So did no one else (that grew up with two parents in the house) get separate presents from each parent?
And did Santa leave presents for Mom and/or Dad?

Oh don't worry. I don't forget that.
This year I'm in Toronto for a bunch of December. It's mainly the handful of days that I go home to San Diego that I have my one great tradition.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
megan, my parents did. Left each other gifts, as well as santa gifts. Granted they got fewer gifts than we did, even after we started to buy for them. But I remember leaving them each santa gifts as well.
We didn't cotton on to the stocking thing for my parents until I was at least in 7th grade, maybe 9th. But then my sister and I got our acts together.

Yeah, there were gifts from both parents individually, and from them together, and from family members and things like that.

I got presents from my parents and Santa. The big items were usually from Santa. If I have kids, I'm not doing that. I want them to know that I picked out and paid for those items. Why should Santa get all the credit??

Parents both got presents from Santa (and the Elves Union), but any presents from my parents were from both of them.
I've also received presents from Clovis, Granny Weatherwax, the Hogfather, and the Monster Under the Bed. (No, not during my childhood. I'm talking in the past 10 years or so.)
