    How do you celebrate Christmas?

    Does Santa come Christmas Eve? Do you wake up your kids Christmas morning at six? Do you stay up watching old Christmas movies on TV? Do you go to church? How do you celebrate Christmas?

    For me... This years going to be different. Now that everyone's older and moved out, were going to go to my parents house tongiht (Christmas Eve), and then I'm doing Christmas morning with my girlfriend. I'm pretty excited, as it's my girlfriend and I's first Christmas together.

    Our family has done the same thing for like 15 years. Christmas Eve service followed by dinner at Outback. Then we come home and open presents from other immediate family members. Christmas morning me and my brothers get the Santa presents, and we also open gifts from cousins/grandparents/other people. That morning we aren't allowed to go downstairs until 7, and we always wake our parents up then.

      Christmas Eve we don't really do anything anymore except go to church. Usually we'll either order food, or my mom will make something good but no party or anything.

      Christmas morning we open presents in the morning. When I was little me and my brother would be waking my parents up at like 7 or earlier. Now I'm usually the last one up. Then my grandma's, aunts, and cousins come over and we eat and then open more presents. Other years we go to one of my other Aunt's house Christmas night, but I don't think we're doing that this year.

        Right now it's just me and my parents here....we had our Christmas 2 days ago, opened presents, dinner, watched "A Christmas Story", etc. My dad's a teacher now so they wanted to take a quick vacation while they could too, so we moved Christmas up. Since there's no kids involved, it doesn't matter what day we do it, just that we're together.

          I do the same things I do every other day of the year, except go to work. So basically it's just another day off.


          I've never celebrated any of the holidays, not something my family has ever done, so I don't really know any different.

            We don't usually do anything on Christmas eve anymore. We used to have people over for drinks and holiday music but since my mother has worked retail the last 12+ years that just isn't possible.

            Every year like clockwork my sister and I wake up at the crack of dawn want to open our presents (this has also dissipated somewhat since we're older but we still do wake up our parents) we'd get to open one present and then have breakfast then open the rest. Later in the evening we'd go to one of my cousins and spend Christmas night with them.

            Not exactly a rockin' Christmas but at least it's very family oriented.

              Already started a thread like this but me and my brother always go to New Orleans with my dad's side of the family and leading up to Christmas we cook everything and in fact we're cooking right now. My grandmother and my aunts usually handle gumbo, pies, and stuff like that while me, my brother, and my dad do the turkey and some other stuff. On Christmas after church we all(me, my dad and brother, 12 uncles and aunts plus cousins) get together at one of my aunt's house and eat, open presents, watch movies, pretty much just hang out with the family.

                Wake up on Christmas morning and open gifts. Then we go to my Aunt's house and open more gifts with relatives. Eat an early dinner there and come back home.

                When we (me, my brother, and my sister) were younger, we'd open up a gift on Christmas Eve, but that stopped awhile ago.

                  I couldn't imagine not celebrating holidays, especially Christmas.

                      I like to celebrate with hookers and alcohol.

                      We usually open presents on Christmas morning, and then go up to my Grandparent's house for Christmas dinner with the entire family (Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Grandparents).

                      Me and my sister used to wake up at like 6:00am and try to wake up my mom and dad. We don't do that anymore, mostly due to me not waking up that early anymore.

                        We go to my wife's mom's house on the 23rd, then my Dad's side of the family on 24th at night. Then we go to my mom's house on Christmas morning, then we go to my Dad's house Christmas night.

                          I watch 24 hours of A Christmas Story

                          Well, I don't watch all 24 hours of it. But after the presents are open and all that, the tv is on TBS.

                            Christmas Eve has changed since my sister got married two years ago. Now its just me and my parents at our house. But tomorrow morning it'll be me, my sister, her husband, my 2 week old neice, and my parents at our house bright and early to open presents. Then we go to my grandmother's house and open presents. Then we go to my grandfather's house and open presents.

                              Christmas Eve we usually have a big family party at my house and open presents from all my relatives around 10. Wake up Christmas morning and open the rest of the presents then we usually go to my aunt's house for dinner around 3.
