Urg, my bad. Stövchen. Basically, a tea-warmer; it's a stand that you place your teapot atop, with a tealight underneath. The flame keeps the pot nice and warm while you drink your tea.
You have already established the seasonal tradition of visiting us for New Year.
I've been referring to Christmas as a quaint ethnic ritual, sometimes appending "You may have heard of it" ever since the Ross Pavlac thread on rasseff.
We have a tradition of having fish and chips and red wine with a couple of friends on Christmas Eve (we didn't do that this year because we were out of town). We also have the tradition of doing Christmas Day with d_h's family, with their traditional foods, and Boxing Day (Dec 26th) with just the three of us and my family's traditional foods.

Of course, this is more of a nightly ritual than a seasonal one; I like tea and candles.
You are, of course, welcome to join me any night you happen to be out on Long Island (at some point after I get back from the UK).

It just occurred to me that that may be my only seasonal tradition. No, that's not true: I think I can count Wiscon.

And New Year's eve with bubbles.
