For us - Wife and I; She's the 'Ho-Ho Girl' and the tree's up after Thanksgiving - House is total, TOTALLY decked-out - All presents are bought, wrapped, ready for the kid's and grandkids before 12-5 [normally] and she'll layout and plan my BD [Christmas Eve], well before the Christmas... She's the 'Energizer Bunny' from Thanksgiving to News Years Eve and I am always amazed. And now the kids [here in Idaho with us], have stepped up and in and do more and more. They'll Christmas Morning at their place and we'll squeeze in Church [manytimes] and then they'll spend the afternoon with 'Awma and Pappa', where we'll exchange gifts and dine. For 'us' this time of the year, we've always tried to make it 'bout Family and Friends and The Season.
