Ive moved away from my family and have been doing things with my girls super white family.
Every year prior tho, xmas eve would start at my grandpas and the head to aunts house to pig out and gifts.
By the end of the night, my brother, my uncle and i would make our drunk asses over to my moms and steal her baby jesus out of the front yard.

That's good so spending Christmas with your girl's family I wonder if you spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with her family? If you do then I wonder if her whole entire family is there on both days? |

Watch a Christmas movie just for me man, I really love this tradition of yours so much so that it makes me want to do the same watch a Christmas movie starting today all the way up to Christmas Eve man this this right here has made my day And opening Christmas gifts I find on Christmas Eve is so much better than opening it up on Christmas morning but I also find that opening it on Christmas Day morning is just as magical or just as heartwarming But with grandparents and extended family there is no greater feeling I like you love the entire month of December too, I am a sucker for it |

We'll eat around 1,2pm. Then right after we all exchange gifts. Everyone snacks on food in between, and usually a 2nd sit down meal around 6. So you guys basically exchange gifts right after lunch or open gifts right after lunch? So as soon as it is Christmas morning you guys don't open gifts but rather wait until afternoon to do it? I think that that's a great idea honestly and then of course having Christmas dinner right after that I love that I have my own apartment, in the past I would exchange gifts with the gf when we got up. But currently I'm single. So I'll normally go to to the grandparents and open gifts after the 1st meal between 1-2pm. When everyone enters my grandparents house they put there gifts under the tree. We open them after we all eat. |

Even better no honestly and honestly just seeing how you guys celebrate Christmas I am just such in a festive mood I guess that's what happens when Christmas comes along |

I'll watch Rock and Roll High School on Christmas Eve. Sleep in late on Christmas, watch the kid open her gifts and then I'll play with her toys, and then when she goes with her mom. I'll play with my hot 25 year old blonde girlfriend.

From the 1st-24th, I'm out every day from 8-6 selling trees. My grandfather started selling them with his dad and brothers in 1940, my dad took over in 2001, and I took over in 2012, which makes this the 75th anniversary of the business.
On Christmas Eve, I usually just lounge around all day and do pretty much nothing. At night, I've made a point to watch Home Alone 1 and 2 these past few years, and then I'll go with my mom and dad over to my aunt and uncle's house. They'll have something to drink, and we'll come home about 10. I go to bed at around 11-ish.
On Christmas Day, I'll wake up at about 6:30/7:00, check the internet, then go in and wake my parents. We'll open gifts in the living room, and then go over the street to my grandma and grandpa's house for breakfast and exchange gifts with them. Pretty much all my life I've stayed at home for Christmas Day, but this year we're driving across the country to my uncle's house for dinner. He lives pretty far away so we don't get to see him very often, and it'll be nice to spend some time with him and his family.
That's about it really. On New Years Eve, I usually stay at home and count it down on my own. I'll order a pizza, get some candy and then watch some wrestling or whatever.

We had traditions, but this year we just threw them out the window. We're having my grandmother over on Christmas Day and that's really all there is to it this year. Before this for the past few years we always had the grandparents over on Christmas Eve. Then we'd exchange gifts and take them home. The next day we'd have breakfast and then my Nonno over for dinner. Before that we used to go to my grandmother's house for Christmas day and have a big family get together. That stopped happening when my cousin told my dad to rot in hell.

Since my nan passed away everything's kinda gone to crap now my aunt is the only other family member we talk to so she comes down to my parents house. I've worked the past 3 christmas' to avoid being in the house with everyone I guess.
We used to (as kids) open presents at home go up to my dad's mothers house for an hour or two then we'd all head over to my other nans with my auntie have Christmas dinner exchange presents etc..

My wife and I have started a tradition of buying a new ornament with the year on it every year. We've got one for every year we've been together, from 2007 and on.

Christmas Eve - My brother, mum and I go to visit my grandparents in the morning and stay there for lunch, then we go to my aunt and uncle's house and hang there for about an hour then we come back home and bake some cookies or something. Then we watch Christmas movies until about 7:30pm (Home Alone 1/2, Elf, Miracle on 34th Street and the like) and then we watch UTV (a TV Channel in Northern Ireland) to see these 'Santa Updates' from a presenter called Julian Simmons which I find hilarious. Basically, after each show he comes on and says that 'Santa Claus is planning on taking off from the North Pole at 8:04pm' or 'Santa Claus is currently in Glasgow but will be stopping in Belfast in a half hour'. I used to watch these all the time when I was a kid, so nostalgia really kicks in.
Then I go upstairs and listen to some Christmas music and go to sleep at around 11:00pm.
Christmas Day - My brother wakes my family and I up at 6:00am every year without fail and we go downstairs into the living room to start opening our presents. Up until last year, my parents used to just leave them unwrapped on the sofas but last year we decided to wrap them and keep them all under the tree. My mum then makes us pancakes for breakfast at around 8 and we get dressed for 10 and we go and visit my other grandmother. We get back around 11:30 and my parents have the food ready for 1:00pm which is always dope. I normally get a prawn cocktail for my starter, then I have turkey, carrots, roast potatoes etc for my main, then my mum's Christmas Pudding for dessert. Then we hang out in the living room watching a film and then watch the Doctor Who Christmas Special in the evening and then we go to bed at 11:30.

Christmas Eve my gf and I either drive to Rome, GA to see her family there, or we all meet there and carpool to Atlanta, GA and have Christmas Dinner at her sisters house.
We get up Christmas morning and drive back to Gadsden, AL to eat dinner at my grandmothers and exchange gifts, with my family.
I honestly was never really big on getting things for Christmas, it was the day that Granny cooks ham haha, her Christmas day ham is seriously off the charts.
She has to keep me and my Uncle from digging into it before everybody gets there.
Unfortunately, with my grandmother being 72, there won't be tons more Christmas days together, so I enjoy every single one of them.
You young guys better cherish your grandparents now, because one day they'll be gone and nothing will ever be the same !
