Yes we are celebrating and opening gifts one week early this
year at my house. My daughter is heading to her in laws on
Christmas so we decided to celebrate with her, her hubby,
and the grandkids this Sunday opening gifts and having the
big dinner etc. It will be less rush and stress on all their
parts doing it this way. What is the earliest that you've
opened all the gifts for family etc? The attatched photo is
of the lights on my deck after a freshly fallen 6 inches of
snow recently.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

I think the earliest my family had a Christmas get-together was two weeks before, on a Sunday, of course. When kids of a large family marry into other large families, there's a lot of co-ordinating to do. Everyone wants to spend Christmas with "their" family, just like they've always done.

Even this Sunday is going to be a rush for my wife kind of. She has to work at 12 noon. So we are getting up at 7, eating, then opening gifts. Going to be some surprised kids this year too. WAY surprised.

I think I have my wife talked into going to a
Catholic Church Midnight mass. I was raised a
Catholic and love their midnight Holiday mass.

Hi GRANDPA BOB,
Happy Christmas to you and your family, a week early but no matter if you can only be with your daughter now and not on the day itself. We are having a lot of snow in England, about if inches had fallen, but in our neck of the wood, we have only got 5 inches, it has stopped now and the big freeze has set in, more snow tomorrow has been predicted by the weather report.

Hey Grandpa Bob! What a lovely thing to do! I think that is so
wonderful for you to accomodate your daughter and son in law
like that by having Christmas a bit early! I'm sure it will be
so much fun! I know you will miss having Christmas on the actual
day, but I'm sure you and Debbie and your Dad and Son and Butch
will still have wonderful Christmas Day anyway! Wishing you and
your family (and my adoptive family) the merriest of Christmases!
Hugs and Love always, Leslie
