Holiday Traditions— The Gingerbread House

Do you have any holiday traditions that you love?  Maybe singing around a crackling fire, building gingerbread houses, or destroying gingerbread houses?  

I suppose it's not really a tradition if it has only happened once...  But I do love building and wrecking ginger bread houses!  What sort of traditions do you have with your family or friends?

And then we put fireworks inside the gingerbread house!
