    We spend Christmas eve with my sister-in-law and her son, and exchange and open presents there. Christmas morning is our time to open presents at home, and relax for a few minutes, then it’s off to my father’s house for a gathering with my father, brother and his wife, her cousin and his wife, and a young family of English immigrants that dad befriended. On Boxing day, we relax at home. And start cleaning up the Christmas mess. :)

    I’m with you Evie, but then of course, we’re of the same generation trying hard to hold on to traditions. Can’t wait ‘til tomorrow and the ’big unveiling’ of Wally’s gift to Joan.

    Perhaps, not everyone can be together at Christmas. Some people have to work or are away for Christmas. Thanks to all of the medical staff, police, ems, military, firemen, missionaries, etc for all that they do. Merry Christmas.

    Wally’s gift to Joan? You mean the fantasy trip to Peoria?

    Cheer up Evie, in many parts of Europe today IS Christmas and all presents are opened on the 24th. Just tell yourself you’re celebrating Europe style this year.

    I’m with you too, Evie. I like the excitement of Christmas Day! (But I’m fine with opening up one on Christmas Eve.)

    We always allowed the girls to open one gift on Christmas Eve before we went to church. The rest waited until Christmas morning.
