Because its only a couple days away, I want to know what you guys do for the holidays.

On Christmas Eve, I watch the Christmas Story a couple times (best Christmas movie EVER)
Then we usually get up really early the next morning, just because.
Then we usually go up north to see family a couple days later.

We always get chinese food for christmas eve dinner. Why? Because Yen Ching is the GREATEEST RESTAURANT EVER! :woot: Then after all our presents are opened, we go to our cousins' house for a little family reunion, but this year, the reunion is at our house. My parents are stressed!

1. NORAD Tracker. One of the best systems ever. Also its 5x more fun on Google Earth!
2. Advent Calenders. Finsh those up Dec. 24th every year!
3. Go to Church on Christmas Eve. To remind us of the true meaning of the holiday.
4. After we have opened all our presents in the morning, we visit my Great Aunt and other family in her awesome cabin that my ansestors built!

I always just go to my aunt and cousin's house for Christmas eve and then they come over on Christmas. Pretty boring. Oh and my grandma comes with us and sleeps over. That is the best part, watching my grandma open her presents and seeing her be happy because as an old person I guess she is never happy anymore. :roll:

Advent calendars for us too.
My tradition is to wake up at 4-5 in the morning (because I can never sleep that night) and watch a college football game on TV downstairs until everyone else wakes up.
Can't think of any others at the moment...

Oh yeah, I always wake up early too, about 6:00 (well that is normal for me, I always wake up at 6:00 or 6:30, school day or not but you know what I mean, it is early for most people and my family doesn't even start to wake up until at least 8:00) and I go to the tree to see how many presents I got. I like guessing what I got from "santa" and then I picture how happy my family will be when they get their presents. Then I go watch TV and I can't wait until they wake up.

By the way, what's an advent calendar?

Its basicly a countdown calender until Christmas, normally starting on December 1st and lasting until December 24. It is called an advent callender because the season of Christmas in the Christian Church is called "Advent".


Is that enough info for you?

Yes thank you.

By the way, what are your guys' favorite part about Christmas? Mine is seeing my family open their presents. Then I like opening up my presents, and then I like eating a big feast, and then I like using my presents. I am the only guy I know who likes opening the presents better than using them. :P
