Now:
We traditionally get out of dodge and head for somewhere warm and go diving.
Secret santa thing with my sisters and their kids. I do a yearly calendar with pics I took from the year and send that on to all that want one.
As a kid:
Real Scotch Pine bought and put up. I hucked tinsel on the tree and tried to help my dad untangle the Xmas lights while he swore under his breath.
Chinese food from Lee's Choy Suey on Xmas eve.
I opened one gift Xmas Eve.
Xmas day we started with the Xmas socks and went on from there.
"wifesaver" breakfast/brunch supplemented with left over chinese food.
Played with your toys, went out into the snow, visited with friends, while mom and sisters madly got the turkey et al prepped.
