not-a-meme, winter holiday edition

[waiting]

it's that time of the year again, and since the world has miraculously managed not to end by 2012, let's talk about holidays!!!

1. do your characters have any special rituals for the end of the year?
2. do your characters celebrate any winter holidays here/back home? if so, how do they usually spend them?
3. what is on your character's christmas wishlist this year/what kind of gifts do they like receiving?
