I, too, come from a musical family, but I'm British, so what we don't do is gather around the piano in an organised fashion and sing carols with big cheesy grins on our faces.
What we *do* do is break into impromptu song while we're washing up, or cooking, cleaning, etc. We might attempt a bit of harmony just for a giggle, or we might try a bit of friendly sabotage on someone else's song. Anyone who can play the piano in the family will probably sit down at some point over Christmas and bash through a few carols purely for their own enjoyment. And, of course, anyone who goes to church or sings in a choir will sing carols galore at this time of year - well, except my choir, which is a symphonic choir so doesn't do carols very often. Alas.
