Every Christmas Eve we go to the Christmas Eve service at church and then we come home and have pizza. That tradition started the first year DH and I were married. The only extra money we had was enough to go out to Pizza Hut. There were no presents that year, but we still had fun anyway!

We open one present on Christmas Eve and then on Christmas morning we open the rest. After that we also have cinnamon rolls (that seems to be the popular breakfast item!) and then we either leave for my Mom and Dad's or we go to MIL's.

At MIL's we have a roast (crock-pot the night before) and add to it some rolls and some extra veggies. There is so much snacky food that we don't usually have a huge meal.

At Mom and Dad's we have a meat and cheese platter and have chips with snacky foods. We started doing that about 15 years ago. That way no one is stuck in the kitchen cooking, cleaning, or straightening up.
