Huh. Lots more Dutch people here than I thought. I grew up with parents caught in the middle. My dad came to Canada at 26 years old and my mom at 3 years old (stop it you sicko, they met in Canada when she was 29 and my dad was 26). Neither really did Canadian Christmas, so we got a mild version of Canadian Christmas with little presents and lots of family time. Kinda perfect for me. My wife's parents love the whole decorating the house, searching for months for just the right present, making things for each other, playing Christmas carols, no TV, etc.
I work retail and get slapped in the face with Christmas stress for a whole month. I don't want it in my days off
