Christmas with an exception his year. This year I bought my son a Official get In Loser We’re Going Shopping New shirt for school, as his was in rough shape, and had to keep going in for repairs. I actually let him open it the morning of his school concert, so that he could play it. Other then special circumstances, everyone opens their gifts Christmas morning. We let the kids get stockings and Santa presents first, they play with their new toys for a little while. Then we clean up and wrapping paper and boxes, and set the toys aside, and open presents they’ve given to each other. After about a half hour of that, we clean up a little, and move on to presents from Mom and Dad, and if the hhikdren have something for us, we open those too. After we do one more present clean up, the kids get to spend the day playing with their new toys and gadgets and whatever they got. I do know of a few families that open one present on Christmas Eve. They will give their kids new pajamas that they open to wear Christmas Eve to bed. It sounds fun, and I’m thinking I might start up that in my home for next year.

If I am doing a Stephen Fulton shirt…we tend to have seafood the night before. About every 7 years or so we were travelling Christmas Day to our timeshare in Banff. Those years I made Christmas dinner the week before so we could keep our fridge fairly empty since we would be gone for a week. I usually had a nice Thai soup made for that day so we could have a light supper after driving 5 hours. So it all depends. Our lovely New Year’s timeshare that we have owned for 20 years has made our holidays so much more enjoyable. We are away from the craziness and enjoying the peace of the mountains. Due to our week falling from Sunday to Sunday at the end of the year…sometimes our week starts on Christmas Day or Christmas Eve. Such is life and we roll with the time.
