Xmas celebration always starts out great. The whole family together enjoying a huge meal, then we exchange gifts, then all the older adults start drinking wine and get drunk and start arguing. It's always such a mess in the end.
The day before Christmas my mom and I bake a shit ton of cookies, toffee and fudge. My little siblings and I will decorate the cookies for Santa with frosting and sprinkles, and that night we open all of the gifts from our family and friends before sitting down to watch Christmas movies. On Christmas morning we go through our stocking and open our gifts from Santa and we always have monkey bread for breakfast.
So usually for Christmas we go to a random family members house on Christmas Eve. We have a large potluck since we have a big family. Then at midnight we open the presents and have a jolly ole time.
Because this is a game and not real life. I was going to start giving EC gifts on Christmas if people shared stories.
My family doesn't hold its traditions on Christmas actually, ours lies on Christmas eve where we sit around a fire, watch Christmas movies all day and do a huge fondue dinner!!! Then we wake up and have cinnamon roles on Christmas and one person plays Santa haha Christmas eve though is my favorite part getting to see my family and enjoy their company with a fantastic dinner and the best Christmas movies!!!
Aww, my siblings and I used to go to our mom's to celebrate Christmas eve but since we have our own families now, we rarely do.
I pointed it out and since this never got active I haven't made the effort to fix it ? Maybe I'll post another x-mas thread.
We set a sheet out and put shoes out. "Santa" would leave presents around the shoes. The might before we go to a family members house, usually my familys sometimes my aunts, then we eat. We also play a silly game. We get big boxes and put gag gifts from the 99 cent store in them. We start from youngest to oldest. There will be like 3-5 gifts per person but you could end up with none. All the gifts are in boxes in the center. You roll 2 dice and if each die has the same number. Ex: 2 and 2. You can take one present from the pile. We sometimes change the rules to make evens instead of matching to save time. Then once all presents are gone we play 1-2 hours with rolling the dice. If you get matching numbers (or even number when adding the numbers if u decide to play that way) you can take a present from anyone. After time is up everyone opens up the presents. Then usually everyone leaves
Our family loves to be together for christmas. We all fly together and get up early to open the presents. After that we drive a hour to snow and bake a bunch of goods up there
I'm Italian but basically American. My Christmas traditions are egg nog, open one gift Christmas Eve, and umm the whole Christmas dinner thing. Other than that I drink a Lil liquor with egg nog if I have it????
