Hey Gruntdoc….. where at?…. I just retired from 36 years as paramedic/fire officer here in FL…. Guessing from your screen name, you might have been a corpsman too?

We travel to our in-laws on Christmas Eve and open some.presemts at midnight. On Christmas morning we drive back home amd do gifts at our house. Our son lives in MI, so if it's our year to travel to him, we do it all at his place in MI. Luckily he's here this year.

Christmas Day my brothers and sisters and Mother get together and share a lovely cooked meal together. It is very sweet. There are not many left in my family now as we are getting older. Thanks Giving is also sweet in a similar way.
Personally I also love Easter for its spiritual quality.

The Phoenix AZ area does not present a traditional Christmas atmosphere as most know it so after our morning of opening gifts with the family my wife and I go to our other home in the White Mountains. At 7000' elevation we get our fix for snow.

On Christmas Eve we have our big dinner.
Afterwards, we have Coffee, cake/pie conversion,
we play Canasta. Before bed we open our presents.
On Christmas morning, a nice breakfast and a day
of rest and calm. Later we have another big dinner.

Our whole family gets together on Christmas Day. Used to be my favorite day of the year, but I hate it now. Would just rather be off by myself.

The entire family, sometimes extended family, get together sometime around Thanksgiving and Christmas and process white-tailed deer like an assembly line.

Once, with the whole crew, took nine deer from hanging complete to ground/sliced/chopped/fileted/weighed/wrapped and packaged for the freezer in a day.

Mom would buy and cook a streak just for our dog Butch, half Shepherd half husky, on Christmas day.
I still enjoy watching " A Charlie Brown Christmas ".

For me, it's family time: decorating a Xmas tree, cooking a nice meal, etc.. all together with the kids.
Then, after diner, opening presents and spending the evening having fun and good time.
On the 25th morning, waking up late and having a nice brunch.

No traditon for me. Too many christmas days spent at work to create a family tradition.
