There are lots of Christmas traditions out there. Some are common like presents, Christmas trees, stockings hung from the mantle, baking cookies, feasting and many others. Some people open presents on Christmas Eve, some christmas morning.
Families develop their own traditions too. We have developed wonderful traditions. I seem to reload my PC OS every Christmas!
Brenda and I open presents with the kids at our house on the morning of Christmas Eve. We have a big Christmas breakfast together after the presents. Later we attend Christmas services and sing Silent Night softly in the candle light. After huggage the kids go home with Becky for Christmas morning, Part 2.
At our house we sleep in on Christmas morning. Well, Brenda sleeps in. I get up around 7am and make coffee and the Marty, Movie, Madness begins (60-something new movies this Christmas). When BR gets up she bakes. Something easy like muffins or Pop-n-Fresh cinnamon rolls.
We usually have a food theme for the day. Something to eat as we watch movies. Massive party platters of shrimp, just for the two of us has been popular. This year it was desserts all day. I'm still full from all the cookies. It must have been a hundred cookies, and fifty of those gold ball Rochelle chocolate things. Plus, I learned the joy of Ready Whip in a can!
--Total movie madness, all day. ALL WEEKEND!
