We have a Christmas Eve Dinner ( Ham, Sparkling grape juice[we don't drink much achohol because of under age people] cresents exc...) Go to the Christmas Eve service at our church. On the way home we look at the Christmas Lights displays. When we get back home we watch Its a Wonderful Life and open 1 present. Then we wake really early the next day and start for those stockings and presents. we have a special christmas breakfast. Then later that afternoon we go over to our grandmothers and have a special dinner and spend time with the rest of the family. we eat, give gifts, and watch movies.
Christmas time in my family is very special to me. It makes me feel so warm and happy. I can't wait to continue the traditions with my kids.

I start celebrating on christmas eve usually with chips and dip even though this year I am going to have to find a low-fat way to do it then on Christmas Day I get up open my gifts that are under the tree and for dinner I have a really good and thick juicy t-bone steak, baked potato and salad. Oh also on christmas eve I have spiked eggnog with brandy maybe yes, maybe no, depends on if I can find some low-fat eggnog.

My family has a Christmas Eve together and then we have Christmas on Christmas Day. But this year I have to work on Christmas and my kids are not to happy about it. I asked for the day off but my boss said I had to find my own coverage I think she did that because she has to work too. Sucks!!!

We celebrate on christmas. Since we are all grown and out of the house now we usually all go over to my parents house around 2 or 3 pm for the usual giving out gifts, and eating and socializing. The only tradition we have is giving out gifts, eating, and talking about the cheap siblings who gave out nothing. Also explaining to my dad that stuff my mom bought him is name brand, it's just that he doesn't know fashion.
