    i have a few beers and then see if anyone wants to slide down my chimney

    Same but instead of sliding down a chimney, I try to find someone who wants to sit on my lap and talk about the first thing that pops up

    I'm going to work out, then drink, then open ONE present with my DH later tonight. Not necessarily in that order. :)

    Merry Christmas!!!

    We always spend Christmas eve with a couple of old friends, drink wine, play games, exchange gifts. Christmas morning is for family.

    We usually have our big meal night on Christmas Eve and then go to a candlelight service. Christmas is more low key with a late meal, playing cards, etc. When I was younger we did all our gifts on Xmas Eve but not we kind of split them up. Christmas Eve has always been more of a holiday than Christmas to me.

    I think it's kind of traditional among many Americans of Scandinavian heritage.

    It's similar to Hispanic Tradition too. I'm celebrating with my b/f and his family (which means our candlelight service is Lutheran rather than the Catholic I grew up with). Nice dinner/celebration tonight (well rather loud celebration with this group) with Christmas day being rather low-key, open Santa presents with my son, catch a movie, have a nice dinner and perhaps play games on Christmas day.

    This.

    Lingere shopping so I can be someone's present to unwrap, or undress, in the morning.

    Tonight we will be watching A Christmas Story.

    For me...get everything ready for Christmas day. Which is clean the house, set the table, make the pies and before dinner snacks, prep the roast and finish off with a few glasses of wine about 9 pm or so.

    It's just 3 of us- Hubs, the Kid and me- tonight I'm making a beef brisket, rice a roni, and salad. We will probably have a stay at home movie night, the Kid will pick out one present to open before bed, we will put out cookies and milk for Santa, the Kid will go to bed and Hubs and I will stuff stockings...no pun intended. LOL Our big day is really Christmas Day. But actually, we have a second Christmas on New Years Day- we go to the inlaws for dinner and more gift exchanges. I come from a Scandinavian background (Danish & Norwegian) on my mom's side, but the Christmas Eve tradition must have gone by the wayside....

    Merry Christmas all!!!!

    Christmas eve at my parents. We draw names for a gift exchange. Some years have been white elephant. A couple of years we had to shop at the dollar store. This year we could shop anywhere but it has to be something in aisle 9, and under $15. It's always a lot of fun. Tomorrow at my mother in laws with my wife's family.

    Boyfriends family has a tradition of making homemade hoagies from scratch at his sisters, unwrapping presents and watching a movie. Christmas dinner is tomorrow with his folks. I have never done anything "traditional" until meeting him so I am really looking forward to being a part of something! :)
