I loooove Christmas and I can't wait for it!! Every Christmas Eve, my son gets to open 1 present, and it's always a new pair of pjs and either slippers or a robe. Then I read him the Night Before Christmas before we head out to my aunt's house for her annual party. We usually don't get home til at least midnight so he's already asleep. Then we open our presents in the am, stockings last, and have cranberry bread for breakfast. I cna't wait for this year because he'll be 4 and he's getting a new bike!

Christmas Eve is dinner at my niece's house and then Christmas Eve Service at church. Then I'll go to my sisters house and sleep there when my sister, a different niece and myself wake up we will open our Stocks (we each will have gotten small fun or useful things for each other stocks - such a last year I knit each of them a scarf with yard I had bought at the dollar store.I got hand cream, individual Kleenex, and a puzzle book) We then spend the day helping each there on craft projects - or finishing the gifts we are making for family members that we won't see until the next weekend.
The following weekend, my brother and his wife and kids, my sister and her kids and grand-kids and I get together. WE will have each gotten one persons name to get a gift for, and then we do some gag gifts.

my parents are divorced so i usually spend time with my dad on christmas eve and we dont go to any parties, but we stay home and spend time together and we watch the beginning of the 24 hour marathon of A Christmas Story
the next morning i usually get up at around 6 and me and my dad go to my moms and stepdads house to open gifts, while we listen to christmas music and eat cinnamon rolls with coffee. After opening gifts my dad goes home while my mom and stepdad clean up and get ready for the family gathering later in the day. I usually look at what i got and check out my gifts while I watch A Christmas Story. Then we go to my aunts to open gidts and have a nice family dinner. I usually play and spend time with my cousins. We usually go home at around 10.

Christmas Eve we have a simple meal,usually sandwiches or chili, chips/dips, and home baked sweets. If I don't make cheese dip I get in trouble.We have to watch Christmas Vacation, and Home Alone, we also may play games. We open gifts on Christmas Morning, but we let the kids open 1 gift of our choice.(usually a book,game, or puzzle) Christmas Day we open presents, take lots of pics and video,eat Cinnamon Rolls or Pigs in the Blanket, finish cooking,pig out,and hopefully take a nap. It varies where we celebrate, but we all enjoy no matter where.

I love this question!
OK, so on the 23rd I go to my nana's to spend the night as that is where my uncle lives with my cousins at weekends and since he never has the kids on Christmas day we have our own little Christmas day on Christmas eve and so to my cousins they have 2 Christmases whilst I just have a little preview one. So on the night of the 23rd me and my Uncle set the scene of Christmas for my cousins and on Christmas eve they open their presents and we stay in our PJ's until midday whilst my nana cooks dinner. As we all play with the gifts Santa's brought my family comes round and in the evening we have dinner. My cousins go home to their mum and I go home to await Santa's arrival. On Christmas morning me and my brother open our presents as my mum prepares the dinner and then in the afternoon my family comes around for dinner. After dinner we then watch the Christmas programmes that they put on and chill out with our full bellies. Perfecto!

We have so close relationships with all our relatives if they are living close by and even if not,, we used to cchat with them using messenger,,, and give them phn calls,, so,, on the Christmas eve,, we get our trees on the 24th eveing and decorate it nicely,, in a more creative way,, then we go to the church for the midnight mass,,, where after the mass we have a nice garden party ,, at the chruch premises,,, hten after it,, we rush to our grandparent's place where all the relatives will gather,, ( wht a time for a gathering ),, so,, we share our Chrismas cakes,,, and wine,, we wish each other,, and most importantly,, we get our christmas gifts ,, too,,, so the following day,, the luncheon is assured at my grand parent's place...

Well being raised Christian but now we are pagan, my wife and I have a duo type holiday. We celebrate winter solstice more commonly known as Yule. around the 21st. We make a yule log and bring greens into the house to promote growth and life. We also celebrate christmas. We open one gift at christmas eve and go to my father in laws for a celebration. We go home and spend the day at home snacking on fine snacks and foods we normally would not make and watch each other open gifts.

I go to my parents house the day before Xmas. I always help my mom, dad and brothers wrap their gifts (I don't get to wrap my gifts though, darn.) I help clean the house, bake, cook, etc.
Christmas Eve my mom makes us dinner then around 10:00 pm we open each others gifts.
Christmas Day my grandma, aunts, uncle, and cousins come for dinner and we open gifts.
Then I go back to my appartment the following day.
