Late December, for many people, is a time for family and holiday cheer. It's no different for folks on Capitol Hill, which is currently a ghost town after lawmakers went home to their various districts to celebrate their favorite end-of-year traditions.

For some, like Reps. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., and Byron Donalds, R-Mo., that means annual Christmas traditions with loved ones.

"So, Christmas Eve is Spanish bean soup and Cuban sandwiches," Donalds told Fox News Digital. "And Christmas Day we just spend time, and Christmas night will be some basketball, some football, and maybe a fire."

Burlison described a "special" Christmas scavenger hunt his mother puts on for her grandchildren to find in their stockings.

"And then we do Christmas bingo for our White Elephant gifts, and it gets pretty competitive," Burlison smiled. "One of the funny things that happens every year is my brother will, whatever home we're in, he'll steal something from the house and then throw it in as one of the gifts."

"You'll end up opening it and you're like, ‘Oh, we have a vase just like this, Oh, wait, that’s our vase!' It's so funny. He does it all the time."

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., told Fox News Digital his favorite Christmas tradition is opening presents with his children and eating Cajun fried turkey.

Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, said he always keeps his faith close on Christmas.

"The holidays always begin with attending Christmas Mass and thanking God for the miracle of the birth of Christ," Cuellar told Fox News Digital. "From there, it’s about being at home with family — gathering around the table, sharing home-cooked meals, and keeping traditions that bring everyone together."

Meanwhile, Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., likes to share the end-of-year holidays with her chosen family of friends and neighbors.

That includes making and sharing Christmas cookies with those same people, as well as "holiday dinner with my college roommates and holiday dinner with my poker group."

And Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., said Hanukkah and the rest of the holiday season was about his loved ones as well.

"The holidays are a special time for me to celebrate with my family — whether that's lighting the menorah with my kids, donating toys at local toy drives, or joining our community for tree and menorah lightings," Gottheimer said.

A Christmas Eve jazz concert at the Kennedy Center was canceled just days after the White House announced that President Donald Trump’s name would be added to the iconic performing arts institution in Washington, D.C.

The show’s host, musician Chuck Redd, who has led the holiday "Jazz Jams" at the Kennedy Center since 2006, said he called off his performance after Trump's name was added to the facility.

"When I saw the name change on the Kennedy Center website and then hours later on the building, I chose to cancel our concert," Redd told the Associated Press.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Kennedy Center for comment. The Kennedy Center’s website lists the show as canceled.

The Kennedy Center’s board voted unanimously on Dec. 18 to rename the institution the "Trump-Kennedy Center," prompting swift backlash from members of the Kennedy family who said the decision undermined the legacy of President John F. Kennedy.

Maria Shriver, Kennedy’s niece, criticized the decision, calling it "beyond comprehension."

Last week, workers added Trump's name to the outside of the center, and the website's header was changed to "The Trump Kennedy Center."

Another Kennedy niece, Kerry Kennedy, vowed to remove Trump’s name from the building after he leaves office.

President Lyndon Johnson signed a bill in 1964 that designated the center as a living memorial to Kennedy following his assassination in 1963. The law prohibits the board of trustees from making the center into a memorial to anyone else or from putting another person’s name on the building’s exterior, the AP reported.

Trump was elected chairman of the Kennedy Center board in February, after removing 18 trustees appointed by former President Joe Biden.

Since Trump returned to office on Jan. 20, several artists have canceled performances at the Kennedy Center, including Lin-Manuel Miranda, who called off a production of "Hamilton."

Redd has toured worldwide and performed with numerous musicians, including Dizzy Gillespie, according to his website bio.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Redd for comment.
