on christmas Eve. my mom's side of the family, and all my brothers come over and we have our christmas eve dinner, then open our presents from everyone except my parents and my grandad. after that, the guys go in the living room to watch football, the kids go outside to play around, the girls cling in the kitchen and the family room, and talk. then when its 7-8:30 pm, everyone goes home, and we get ready for bed and clean up, and lay down by 10:00pm but don't fall asleep untill 2:00 am :D wake up by 4 am. get everyone else up, open presents from my parents, wake till 6:30 to open the ones from my grandad, then we sit around, and get ready to go to my grandparents on my dad's side, eat, open presents, then go to my grandma's on my mom's side, sit around there, talk, go to my aunts on my mom's side, then head home by 1 am. :D it's always been like this haha. how does your christmas go? and if you dont celebrate christmas how does what ever holiday you do celebrate in december go. :p

Christmas Eve is reserved for friends old and new. We meet up every New years Eve and celebrate. There are a few old friends that we only see on this night so it is a special time and we also celebrate those friends that are no longer with us. Christmas day is for getting together with the family and it is always good.
