Up until last year, I didn't get to celebrate christmas due to an abusive family. I now live with my boyfriend and his family, and we're about to have the best christmas ever (for me, at least) :) We celebrate it on the 24th where I'm from.

We wake up on the 24th and eat breakfast together, then we play cards and other games during the day. We'll eat great homemade food at about 6pm, then eat dessert which is called risalamande - it's basically white rice pudding with cream, then warm cherry sauce on top. There'll be a whole almond in one of the servings, and the one with it will win a small gift :) This is usually a Jackpot scratch card and a candy bar as well as a receipt showing that a certain amount of money has been spent on a charity event such as donating money to animal shelters etc :)

We then dance around the christmas tree and sing a few songs. When we're done, we sit in a horseshoe form near the tree and the youngest family member gets to take a gift from underneath the tree - whoever's name is on the gift opens it, shows, then picks a random one from underneath the tree which is then given to the person it belongs to and it continues like that until there's no more gifts left :)

We then sit together at the dining table and play 2 games - One called the Candlelight Game and one called the Candy Thief :lol: The Candelight Game is simple and not an active game - every person has the same sort of candle in a candle holder, and they're all lit at the same time. The person's candle who burns down the fastest wins a gift similar to the Risalamande gift mentioned above ;)

The Candy Thief is played while we wait for our candlelights to burn down :) We all sit around the table with a huge dish of candy on it as well as 2 dices. First person will roll the dices, and if they get a Six, they're allowed to take 5 pieces of candy from the dish, and roll again. As soon as the person does not roll a Six, the dices will pass on to the next person and the game will continue like that. Once the dish is empty, and someone rolls a Six, they're allowed to steal 2 pieces of candy from another person :lol: I usually go for the Dumle caramels :twisted: :lol:

Once we're all tired, which is usually around 2-3am, we all go to bed.. then on the 25th it's time to clean :lol:

It's a lie to think that you're not good enough, it's a lie to think that you're not worth anything! It is scary to know how many people are just angry at life because of their situation at home. It's scary to know how many people actually think they are worth nothing. Every single person, right here, right now, I want you to know that you are beautiful.

I go down to the salvation army and give unwanted items to them. How thoughtful :)
Many people would walk past an abused-looking pet without caring. Some would abuse it more. Copy + paste this into your signature if you would help it to become well again, find it a home and care.

94% of people think that wolves are vicious, evil animals. Copy and paste this into your signature if you're one of the 6% who love wolves and think they are shy and amazing creatures.

It's sometimes a crazy christmas! last Christmas, I stayed up all night, and fell asleep for about thirty minutes, and then this christmas, might not even be christmas. My mom got a knee surgery, and that went all whack and crazy today, so she went back to the hospital. I'm still hoping we can have a sort of christmas!

Every year on Christmas eve we are allowed to open one present, (usually fuzzy socks) and then we open the rest of our presents after breakfast on Christmas morning. This year we're doing it differently though because my dad has to work on Christmas; so we're going to open our presents on Christmas eve night. ^w^ and then on Christmas morning we'll open our stockings and play with kittens that we're getting today. :D

On Christmas Eve, we are allowed to open up one present. Then, on Christmas morning we open up the rest! During the afternoon we go to my Nana's house with our cousins and eat dinner. c: We also give each other gifts there.

Christmas at my Nana's won't really be the same this year since my Grandpa passed away last month. But, we'll still try our best to have fun. c:

My siblings and I stay upstairs, and then once everyone is awake we open presents. Then, we usually just end up laying around and relaxing, I am usually on a computer because most of the time I am asking for new digital drawing and animal softwares, and then we have a big Christmas dinner :)
