"We have two Christmas traditions in my family: on Christmas Eve we always have a glass of baileys before bed (early to bed of course so Santa can come) and on Christmas Day my dad and I always have a glass of whisky and a cigar after eating our xmas pud."
- Alex, Customer Experience Advisor
"I always used to spend Christmas eve with my mum doing the Christmas cake, she would bake it and I would do the decorating. It was a tradition that she had started with her mum when she was younger. I took the decorating portion incredibly seriously, naturally. Each year I would pick a theme, and no-one was allowed to step foot in the kitchen until the grand unveiling on Christmas day. I really enjoyed our time together, we would put some cosy Christmas music on, dig out my grandma’s recipe book with her hand-written instructions, the baking would inevitably go wrong at some stage as we couldn’t understand her writing, even after many years of this tradition and my mum having spent decades watching her bake the cake itself. Somehow, the result was always delicious nonetheless, and (if I do say so myself), beautifully decorated."

"Me and my cousin have used the same Christmas plates for our dinner each year since we were little. It's a really small tradition but one that has a special place in my heart. I always choose the Santa plate and she always has the snowman one."
