I grew up opening presents on Christmas Eve, reserving Christmas Day for visiting with family. For the first g-kids (Laura's 4), we'd drive over early on Christmas morning and watch them open Santa's presents. Then, they'd come to our house for Dinner and to open our presents. Since Jeff and Paula have their kiddos, we just stay home and wait for them to come over - can't be 3 different places on Christmas morning!
The kids have finally settled into doing their own thing for Christmas. So, we serve Christmas Supper in the evening and they all come over!
I take a couple weeks vacation for Christmas. So, Harold and I pace ourselves, doing things around the house and getting ready for a new year. This year, Laura and her four, Paula and her family, and Roxann will come over in the afternoon. We plan to go to Jeff's the day after Christmas for a couple days.
