In my family, we always open one present on Christmas eve, which is usually pajamas to sleep in. On Christmas morning, the kids open their presents from Santa at home, and then everyone gathers at my Grandmas for a homemade christmas breakfast and then we open the presents from the family, talk and joke around, head back home for the afternoon. In the evening we come back and eat a turky dinner, eat cookies and baked goods. My best friend joins us, Its fun. But theres lots of crazy dogs and not so pg humour as per usual

Christmas eve we go to midnight mass, where my parents always sing in the choir. Then we head home and sleep till about 8 or 9, where we open gifts and drink coffee. Dunno how other people do it but we always go in order with gifts, one at a time, youngest to oldest cycling until we're all done. After all the gifts are open, pops starts on his wonderful Christmas breakfast, which consists of an egg casserole and french toast with grand monier in it. Then the extended family comes over, and we all open stockings. Then we take a break and dad works on Christmas dinner (he really likes to cook), which is usually Prime Rib (so good!), mashed potatoes that has spinach and cheddar cheese in it, yorkshire pudding which is cooked with the fat juices from the prime rib, and some other kind of veggie. Dinner is followed by coffee, and if its a year that our cousins from out of town are visiting, we often play charades, and sometimes have a white elephant gift exchange that consists of absolutely horrid gifts

Its fun, for what its worth

I'm from eastern Europe. My family celebrates Christmas on Christmas eve [the 24th]. In the morning we go to the forest to get a tree, then I decorate it. In the evening we have dinner together and open gifts. The next day when it's technically Christmas is more like a regular holiday to us when we simply spend time together.

My family is usually up and going on Christmas; there's no relaxation for us. Most every year, we end up taking a 4-5 hour drive through the Northern California mountains to go meet up with my cousins who live on the coast.

And the same will be happening today.
I should probably go to bed soon 'cause we are leaving at 7am.

Thus christmas for me is wierd, it's the first Christmas um sped in with one parent at separate times, but basically, I just get ip, try to wake up my dad (or mom) and open presents!

This year I have to open presents with my mom in the evening after dinner, but at least I still get to open them!!

Go to my grandparents house on the 23rd, then sleep over. On Christmas Eve I stay up late reading, then go to sleep around midnight or one am. Sleep until three. Wake up, (usually by my dad's snoring) and wait for my family to get up, (me right now), once everyone's up, we eat breakfast, then open gifts. Chill with our Christmas haul the rest of the day. Quite simple cx

But three hours of sleep is not good for me cx
