We put up our tree around the first of Dec. No specific date.
The kids open one gift on Christmas eve and the rest on Christmas morning.
We usually go to my Mothers on Christmas eve, "Santa" come to my mom's for pictures, we visit then come home, open one gift, we watch a Christmas movie, and put Santa's key on the door.
The kids have Christmas p.j.'s that their elves leave them on there bed that they wear.
They usually get a small gift or ornament from there elf sometime after the 20th.
On Christmas morning, dh cooks breakfast, everyone opens gifts. We go to mom's for the day. I'm from a family of 10, so a lot of different people stop in at different times.
We have supper at mom's.
