“Unwrapping the Truth: 12 Christmas Traditions That Could Spoil Your Holiday Cheer!”
This year, feel free to break the mold. Choose a few movies that everyone actually enjoys, or try mixing it up with something a bit different. A holiday movie marathon doesn’t need to follow any rules—pick what feels fun, and don’t feel pressured to stick to an outdated list.
9. The Overloaded Christmas Morning
Opening presents on Christmas morning should be a magical, joyful experience. However, the excitement wears off as you scramble to unwrap one gift after another, and suddenly, the day feels more like a marathon than a celebration.
