I usually stay in and watch a few Christmas films on TV and help wrap up presents. I'm not one for going out on Christmas Eve, I prefer going out in the days leading up to Christmas and Christmas Eve.
Dinner with family then unwrap all the presents. Sadly I will not be getting any later tonight, my headphones are still on their way here and shouldn't be arriving until early january.
My wife's family observes this day in the traditional Ukrainian manner -- meatless dinner with 12 dishes, symbolizing the Apostles. Normally, I'd catch the midnight Mass afterwards, but this year we're going to the 4 PM service instead.
Eat dinner with my family, watch some of the movies on TV. Sometimes I go out, this year I won't. Fix some and play lists of Christmas tunes. Then I usually just lay on the couch waiting for the food to get absorbed. And close to midnight we open presents ^.^
Kinda just sit around and wait for it to be the next day. Sometimes open a present as well. This year it was Need For Speed: Pro Street for PS3 that I got early. Not exactly my type of games but it was from relatives so I can't complain:lol:
Hang out with family, exchange gifts, sit around the tree after eating our Christmas feast, and watch Christmas episodes of TV shows, like Hey Arnold, or Charlie Brown.
Me and my will eat out tonight, then after that we will watch the christmas story from 8:00-10:00 p.m tonight, then we will bake sugar cookies, and then put the gifts under the tree and then go to sleep, then wake up to open the presents. :)
[QUOTE="LeePearce"][QUOTE="DrSponge"]I don't understand why people like and listen to Christmas music...it's horrible :|DrSponge
Well when it's playing whilst I shop for Christmas it gets me in the xmas mood. It gets me in the Throw-everything-you're-holding-and-go-postal mood. I'm just gonna assume that you're listening to the wrong kind of Christmas music :P. I think I've sampled hundreds of Xmas tunes and a lot of them really do suck... for example, I never understood why so many liked Elvis Presley's. But Christmas without Christmas music doesn't feel that right...
Not much. In the past Ive always just stayed in with my family and in the evening we watch A christmas Carol on TV. Thats what I'll be doing today also.
We usually get to open one gift from one another early (before Christmas morning) and have some time to play with that (usually its a game). Then, we normally watch "It's a Wonderful Life" on TV. It's pretty good.
I usually do something with friends during the day, seeing as Christmas day is spent with family. In the evening all the presents get put under the tree.
Well, we NORMALLY go to our lake cabin and have a bunch of relatives from my mom's side come over, and we have a big meal and exchange gifts and stuff.
However, this year we're doing that on Christmas Day instead...so today for Christmas Eve, we're just going to trim the tree, have a nice meal, wrap presents, and watch It's a Wonderful Life. Sounds okay to me.
