My family has a tradition to open presents up together early in the morning. My siblings and I go to my parent’s house around 6am and we all open our gifts as a family. However, this year my mom has to work a long shift that goes from Christmas Eve to Christmas morning – so we will probably hold off on the gifts until the afternoon this year.
Also, this is the first year that I will be cooking the Christmas dinner so I’m pretty excited about that. I have a very big family so my house will be full of my relatives and family friends. I hope I don’t screw anything up!
After my family leaves, I am hoping to get in some Sim time and let them celebrate the holidays as well.
OMG SAM AND DEAN (I mean in your gif lol) !!!!!!!!!!
On Christmas Eve, we get everything ready for the morning, wrap any more gifts we have that are unwrapped.
Christmas Morning: Get up and tear into presents together, then start getting Christmas dinner ready, which is either ham or turkey. We don't really have any family members that come over so it's just me, my mom, and my dad. There used to be four of us until my grandmother died last year of cancer.
Sorry to hear about your grandma. The first year is always the hardest. This is my third Christmas without my mom (she passed Oct 2010) and it's still as hard.
I'm working up through Christmas eve, then hitting midnight mass, and cooking dinner on Christmas day. We'll probably go to a movie. That's our tradition these days.
Not sure if I'll get to play sims. My uncle is visiting, so I'll most likely be playing hostess.

Thanks. Yeah last year was really hard for us. She passed away in Nov. so it's the second year this year. It's not so bad anymore
Christmas eve I will be going to the cinema/movies with my family and having our traditional turkey sandwiches at home after :-)
Christmas Day I will be up all morning, get just 3 hours of sleep, rip open my presents at 6am, and have Christmas dinner and more pressies round my nans (Christmas is a big thing for my family, I'm excited! )
Busy, busy here! Going to my sister's Sunday for dinner and our gift exchange. Monday we're going to my mother-in-law's for dinner and then my brother-in-law's for a bit. Then home to do the Santa thing. Tuesday will be spent at home with my husband, children, parents and 2 of my nieces. Tomorrow is the last day of school for my kids for 2 weeks so I doubt I'll get much Sims time lol.
Spending it with my family
My one brother and I still live at home so my dog will probably get me up at 5am all excited and then we usually wait til about 9am for my elder brother to arrive before we open presents (it's normally the only time we have biscuits and tea for breakfast as well!).
Then after lunch we'll all go to my sisters house and spend a few hours with her, my brother-in-law and my niece.

Happy Holidays everyone
Talk to family on the phone, play Guild Wars 2 and participate in some Wintersday events and maybe play some Sims 3.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and all that stuff.
