All y'all have been busy. Me too. But I have been trying to enjoy the Christmas season as much as possible. It will be easy now that I'm off work till January 3rd. Whoo Hoo!
I pray that God will bless you all and you will have a wonderful Christmas time.

My wife's family switched opening presents to the evening of the 24th after we got married.
My family has always opened presents on the morning of the 25th.
Since we've now stretched Christmas into a whole season, I think anytime near the 25th is a great time to come together and celebrate.
But..... If had to pick one day, it would be the 25th.
I think that's the most popular "tradition" around the world. But not everywhere.

when I was married the first time, we opened presents with my family on the 24th, to each other on the 25th (if there were any), and with his family later in the day on the 25th. When I was divorced my parents would tell me which present to set aside for christmas morning as my "santa present". Here, we are only two so we open on the 24th as is swedish tradition, and the 25th seems empty (I know christmas is not about the presents). That is why I am glad that this year my care package from the family arrived the week before christmas. Even if it is just ordinary stuff, it will be nice to have something to "open". I might even put it in christmas paper when I wrap hubby´s gift. that is also why I wanted to adopt the english christmas cracker tradition to give a little surprise to the 25th. Hubby´s family also had the tradition of saving one christmas gift till new year´s day, but with slim pickins this year, that is just not possible. though I was considering a scooby doo comic with "prize"....that could be cute.

I am waiting to see if we are still here on Saturday before I job hunt anymore. My next unemployment check in is January 24. I think I have to go some sort of "education" in the spring or lose benefits, we shall see. I was really hoping the university job would come through, but it shall not spoil my Christmas cheer! only 7 days until Christmas!

I saw the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center, the ice rink, the Macy's display, and 20,000 Santa's at a party! It was a nice time after a very sad Friday.
