Christmas Eve was always a fun time in my family. It was just usually me, my brother, my mom, and my dad. We would eat a yummy dinner, get in our jammies, and then watch a movie together. Right before we went to bed we would each get to choose one stocking stuffer to open, and if my mom had her way, she got to choose which one. In my family, sometimes the stocking stuffers can be even better than the gifts under the tree!
the best time of christmas is when my family goes to my grandmas and we have christmas dinner togather

Christmas Eve is when we have the most fun. When me and my sister first get up we eack get to open one gift, and then my whole family gathers up at my aunts house, and we exchange gifts, and play games, and eat! But i think the best part about the day is spending it with all of your family.
don't have no speacial times or whatever... don't do anything but hang with my bestfriend jessica

We usually go to my grandmas for christmas but this year I'm going to Oklahoma to my aunts and spending some time with them. When I get backs is when I'll have christmas with my moms side of the family.

Christmas Eve is when we have the most fun. Because the whole family gets together and we have a huge dinner and we do whatever.

Every year my family picks out a child from the lest fortunate and we give them gifts for Christmas. We always go to my grandmothers house on christmas eve and eat a big turkey dinner and exchange gifts that make me feel good.

The best thing about christmas for me is that i get to see my family members that i only see once a year. We always get together on christmas and have a big family dinner and talk about things that happened over the year and basically just catch up on eachothers lives.

Every year for the past 4 years i have lived somewhere different. SO the christmas that i actually remember are the ones of those previous years. Most of the time we just got together with our whole family and spent time together. On christmas eve we stay up and watch movies. But always every year we go somewhere either on Christmas night or the day after. But the best part about christmas is that i get to spend it with my family.

Christmas Eve is a fun time. That day we usually go to my great-grandpas to eat dinner and have a gift exchange with over 70 people! Then we go home and open the gifts under the tree with my aunt, 2uncles, mom, grandpa, granma, and 4 cousins. We usually get about 15-20 presents each so the living room is destroyed by the time were all done! I soon go to bed and wake up from gifts from "santa" and stuff in my stocking. Later that day everyone comes back over and eats dinner. I think its the only time my family spends time together. & hopefully my mom will be home for christmas this year or it won't be the same...
Brianna,
I agree with you the best thing is to be with your family.

Brianna,
I agree the best part is spending it with your familyy(:
this is the only thing i can think of. but after christmas its usualy nothing goes on.!@\ Me and my family.. sometime during the christmas year have a contest... what we do is get all the cousins and everyone down to my grandmas and we get all the toys out... like all the 4 wheelers and sleds and espesally the dune buggey! Then we take um down to my uncles... thats like 1 minute down the road and we have races in the woods... which we have a lot of 4 wheeler tracks and stuff... then after that we usually eat dinner... then open presents, then were back on the toys when it strikes dark... what a great time...

New years eve would be the holiday that i feel most at home for because i dont stay at home for any other holiday except that one. I always go to my families house in Chicago for christmas and ect.New years eve is verty memeroble to me because me and my family just eat snacks all day and watch the count down and the live preformances that go on down town in Chicago. I dont even get dressed up I just wear my pajamsas all day and chill.
And ben is wierd!
Michael, yeaaaah my favorite part is eating. Haha of course. But thats nice your family gives gifts to the less unfortunate :)
