This time of year, my mum makes wonderful fruit pudding for Christmas Day, I also go shopping to buy my parents, brothers, sister in laws, nephews and niece Christmas presents. I'll go and visit relatives on Christmas mid morning, then reside back at mum and dads, where the rest of the family will meet to exchange Christmas Gifts and have lunch or dinner together. We are deciding tomorrow whether it will be lunch or dinner.
Its a joyous occasion, we make it happen

We have a large family and my parents are divorced (as well as my husband's) so we try to set aside a morning for each family for breakfast and gifts. It's great because you don't have to worry about being all prim and proper (like you do for a special dinner) - we make cinnamon buns, waffles, sausage, bacon, etc. and chow down with anticipation of the gifts! After gifts, we have our cinnamon buns and coffee and check out each other's goodies! It's kind of like a "Christmas Morning" even if it's a day early or a day late.

Playing board games with my brothers. We usually get some new board games for Christmas and then end up staying up all hours of the night figuring them out and playing them. (And the three of us are in our late twentys and early thirties.)

The one that's stuck is the day after Thanksgiving we go out to a tree farm to pick our Christmas tree.
