My whole family gets together at my parents house near Albany. They have a big house so the 20 people in our family fit fine.
Christmas Eve is always a fancy dinner with ham. Christmas Day is a bigger deal, everyone opens presents most of the day--20 people--takes a long time. Christmas dinner is less formal, but just as important. We never eat out for either but we had to order sushi 2 years ago as there was a big power outage on Christmasz
Unfortunately, I'll have to tape the Steelers-Ravens Christmas Day game. Must win for us.
Yeah, Christmas Eve is just kind of 'there'. Nothing special about it really other than the excitement before Christmas itself.
Definitely wouldn't eat out on Christmas! Sounds kind of depressing.
Christmas Eve used to be a day of drinking in town for me, but not anymore. So far today I've watched Toy Story 3, and Frozen.
Wife is in town with her mum doing some last ditch shopping, whilst I'm at home with the kids. Life has changed!
Tomorrow I'm having turkey for Christmas dinner for the very first time! I can't believe I've never had it before.
I prefer boxing day tbh. It's much more relaxed, and I can just eat and drink as much as I want. I've purchased a treadmill too, so I can do it all whilst on the treadmill guilt free!
Eve and Day are both huge here. You'd never go to a restaurant or order takeout for either of them.
It was so weird to me when I had Canadian anglo friends in their 20s from Ontario who'd spend Christmas Eve hanging out with their group of friends.
Here neither, but Santa comes, you open the gifts and those who want go to church on Eve.
Anyways, HYVÄÄ JOULUA, GOD JUL, MERRY CHRISTMAS, JOYEUX NOËL!
