Christmas Traditions: Cool Or Overrated

Author Ryan Logan
What Say You? Real or Fake Tree?

I am starting to bring back some Christmas traditions that I use to do when I was little, it may be because I have a kid now and it also may be because my wife never really had any growing up. Anyway, I found this list from BuzzFeed of Christmas traditions and wanted to know. Are they cool, or overrated? Let’s get into it!

Now my wife grew up Jewish so some things when it comes to Christmas are new to her. I love introducing her to some of the things we did as kids. I also love Christmas time so it’s a perfect time to get cheesy and pull off some of these traditions. But are they overrated, lets see what you think.

Before we get to the list from BuzzFeed, one thing I always thought was overrated but this year I actually enjoyed was the White Elephant gift exchange. I always thought it was a dumb idea until we did it with our friends last week. We all had fun and even got some good stuff! Now with that said, let’s get to this list from Buzzfeed and see if you agree with everyone else.

1. Secret Santa . . . 54% of people are still enthusiastic about it.

2. Snow . . . 42% love it. (The definition of “traditions” is a little loose.)

The Best “Naughty” Holiday Movies

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
