We have ours Christmas Eve. The family has increased in size(physically and in numbers!) so much that we are going to rent the Community Center across the street this year. It is something different, so hope it all works out OK. That will include the prime rib dinner, games, dirty Santa, and gift exchange.

I take mine off. I work in a dirt filled place all day long and don't want to track it in the house. But I do replace the work boots/tennis shoes with my Ugg boots in winter or flip flops in summer. I just can not go barefoot. Never could. Trish

Let's see- using only what I know I always have on hand it would have to be Shepherd's Pie- vegetarian style. Or a pizza from Dimitri's on the corner! Trish

Not that I can recall. The Bataan Death March ... and the years following ... was hell for those who went through it. When I went to Korea, in `53, just over 10 years later, we left Los Angeles by freighter and travelled on the Great Circle route, far north of Hawaii (put a string on a globe) ... for 18 days out of sight of land ... which gives one direct proof of how large the world is. As we approached the Phillipines, a typhoon was building and we went down the west side of Luzon, then turned in to 30-mile long Manila Harbour ... so the first sight of land that I had in the Orient was ... Corregidor, the rocky island fortress at the outer end of the harbour ... where the last surviving U.S. Army people holed up, following the Japanese invasion. It made a major impression on me that, apart from the results of World War II, we could not have been in that part of the world, helping people develop a better life. Had our ship been in those waters, ten years earlier ... we`d have been sunk ... or interned! And much of our work originally, just after the Korean War, was helping people who had left their home areas as refugees, as a result of political divisions and war, with nothing but the clothes on their backs, as they tried to get their lives back in some kind of order ... in an area much of which had been badly battered, fought over 3 or 4 times. Not a pleasant experience. Let us commit ourselves to seeking ways to build bridges of understanding between peoples, rather than warfare. May you have a blessed Easter ... if Easter is important to you. ole joyful

Usually everyone comes to my house on Christmas Eve and we have finger foods and open gifts. On Christmas day we go to DS#1 and DIL's house for Christmas dinner. We haven't discussed it, but will probably do the same this year.

We have ours on Christmas Eve. Both Jerry and my families have had this tradition. We got lucky. :)

Daughter Lori married a Christmas Morning person, but this year, since she will be here, gets to do Christmas Eve. :)

We start Christmas Eve with a buffet style dinner with everyone Then we start again Christmas morning after all the kids arrive to open gifts. I imagine it won't be at five in the morning anymore now that they're all grown up. It's more like noon before we open gifts now. LOL

The one with just my kids and grandkids, will be on Christmas Day. The one with my extended family, my Mom, sisters/BIL, nieces & nephews, and all our kids and grandkids will be in our church basement on the Sunday before Christmas. We'll have access to the kitchen and all there in. That's when we'll play our Wright/Left game with the white elephant gifts.

Christmas Eve will be our kids probably my Uncle from the nursing home and 2 of the GB's, Maddie and Drew.

Christmas morning Hunter comes from his Dad's and Maddie goes back to her Moms. My DB and his family and GB's come for dinner at noonish.

Don't ask me how we will open gifts this year. I'd love to have everyone together at once to open them but thats obviously not going to happen.

We will have the big celebration the weekend before. Everyone has to work the day before and the day after Christmas. My inlaws live 4 hours away so we decided to have it early this years. This way santa can still arrive at our house Christmas Eve.

We'll be in Houston at DD's house. Christmas Eve DS and his family will come over and we'll have dinner and exchange gifts. Then on Christmas Day DD's in-laws come for dinner and spend the day with us and the grands.

Christmas Day...it's just DH, myself, and DS (and his GF). Nice and quiet. We don't like traveling on the major holidays.

Our big celebration will be the Saturday after Christmas. Kalie is going with BF to his sides of family for Eve/Day and long weekend. Travis and his wife are going to his sisters house for Eve/Day. We have decided that we will be the ones that will pick another day. We are just happy when we can ALL be together!

We have family that have split families...those little ones would come Christmas Eve and they were sooooo tired and in such rotten moods that I said we would not put our grands (when we get them!!!) through that!

Dean and I will probably go out for supper on Christmas Eve and to a movie on Christmas Day. =)
