In my family, reading yuletide stories has always been one of our favorite holiday traditions! I thought it might be fun to share holiday stories that we've written with each other here to help spread holiday cheer!
If you've written holiday stories over the past years, please share them here, and I'll add them to the list! Please feel free to share new stories that you write this holiday season, too!

and decided to ask for shareable christmas memories. Who wants to be the first one? I should get to sleeping soon, but if I sleep well I will be able to return in time to reply to peeps before they run out of energy. Time zones can be quite the Finnish mincy pie with plum marmelade filling at times.

Content warning: A sim accidentally suffered during the gameplay needed to write this thing. Rest in peace, Malcolm Landgraab's dignity. Poor guy was irrelevant to the story, so the incident won't be mentioned. And, this is not a very light-hearted story. (I swear I originally tried to make it one. Then mistakes happened.)
So, reader discretion is adviced? Or something?
Ho, ho, ho!
Growing up, our family had so many traditions! Picking out the tree, decorating it and the home, Christmas crafts, baking, baking, baking, playing board games, reading holiday stories, singing, singing, and more singing! It was wonderful and very, very magic!
Some of my favorite memories were playing with friends during the holiday season. Starting the first of December, we would play elves. I loved it! It was a lot like a SimLit collab... we'd develop these intricate plots around helping Santa, making gifts, befriending the reindeer! My friend always had some sort of elven drama going on... usually around a romantic complication, which was funny, since we were around 9 and 10! Where I grew up, it usually was in the 50s and 60s, so not terribly cold, but one year, an arctic blast came down, and the highs for the day were in the low 30s! We bundled up like elves, pretended our bikes were reindeer, and raced through the fields across from our house, which we'd criss-crossed with bike paths. It was so much fun! I remember nearly every moment, and that enthusiasm! That laughter! That excitement about the drama! Oh, my! We really wanted to be sure Santa got his presents out, but there were so many interpersonal complications amongst the elves... very challenging Christmas!
Tell me more, @For_Eorzea , about playing house in the tree!

Oh, that is just awesome!
Here goes!
When I was small, I didn't have many cousins. My sister and I were showered with attention from our relatives, especially Mom's parents and siblings. We would get all these elaborate presents for birthdays and Christmas, so we hardly ever needed to be bought toys.
The tree would always be lit with electric candles. So, when the time of decorating it came and we begun setting up small apples, straw goats and cardboard stuff I had made in preschool, I decided the candles made for excellent campfire. So, I begun covertly placing some of the apples closer to the candles, as food for the future residents inhabiting these camping sites.
My sis took notice and joined in when I explained what I was doing. She brought all these little dollhouse things.
So, we would play as if the dolls were studying to become elves. It was kinda cruel, but the kids were always orphaned because we found it boring to play with the parent dolls. The children took lessons riding random cardboard animals (Wah! Ti's no snail, Sis! It is a Christmas apple worm-elf! I did it myself, away with your nasty 3rd grade advanced biology intel!), telling stories and making toys. I enjoyed it very much, since I loved imagination games.
In time, my Sis grew out of it, but I continued the tradition alone for a few years. I'll write more on recess if I have time. ^____^
