Help!

I need some help! 

I want to write a Briley fic about Christmas and dinner and Patrick and all that, but I've never had a traditional Christmas dinner. Or at least, the last time my family had one I was like 6.

So ideas people?

Also, ideas may be used in my Transformers fic as well . I'm doing lots of christmas themed stories for the season, but dinner and relatives? I've no idea what's traditionally made or discussed or anything.

....That makes me feel kinda sad.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry if this isn't allowed (since it's not ONLY for Ben/Riley....) You can delet if it isn't. I just didn't have anyone else to ask. My friends would think I'm a bit weird for asking, really. They would. They know nothing of my fanfic writing haha.

Hopefully if I can get some tales of Christmas with family the Briley will be written in the next week or so and posted as a Christmas present for you all!

Thank you!

Yeah, we have advent calendars. But there's no chocolate or anything. Not that I've seen anyway.

Normally you just bend the day up and theres a picture behind it. It's almost always religious. So the the pictures are like a lamb, or the baby jesus or something, so they're were never really big in my family after my Grandparents passed. (My parents have never been religous people)

I'm going to start writing, hopefully, tomorrow. I'm decorating outside today with my mom. She actually gave in when I argued for decorations haha.

I can only recommend the chocolate ones.^^..They make you feel happy for the day. I love chocolate.^^
We also do have the religious ones, but my family isn't that religious either so we never had one of those.
I wish you good luck with decorating outside. Don't fall off the ladder. And I hope you have fun doing the decoration. And I'm looking forward to your story.
