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. . UTV do some really festive and entertaining things around Christmas |

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 ! I know right especially celebrating Christmas with my whole entire family every year my grandmother is still there 82 years old but I know she won't be forever but still to celebrate Christmas with her when I can I always cherish it |

I am sure everyone has their family Christmas traditions some different than others hell even some similar but what matters what truly matters is all of us having the Christmas spirit and spreading that Yuletide cheer
