In our family we've changed things just a bit, due to death and siblings living so far away.
What we've done for the last few years is go to my mother's house on the 23rd. Just light snacks are served. Cheese, crackers, deli meats, deserts and by brother always brings meatballs of deer meat. We use to go to my in-laws on Christmas Eve, but my FIL has passed and MIL is in nursing home. My husband, son and I, 2 sisters-in-law go out to the nursing home and exchange gifts. We then come home and around 9:00 PM my mother comes and spends the night with us. We get up open gifts and just lounge around. Then mother goes to my brother's house for dinner and we stay home. I fix a ham and light snacks with of course deserts. My son just has to have the Eclair Cake (listed in the recipe forum) every year for Christmas. That is really about it. We don't really have "traditions."
