- Opening presents...rip 'em open with all abandon, or carefully open, preserving the pretty paper for recycling? definitely recycle, or even reuse if possible, but some things were just meant for rippage!
- Do you and yours take turns, opening one gift at a time, or does everyone just rip into everything at the same time? we take turns all around to savor each gift and see the reactions
- If you get something you don't like...do you try to return it, or keep it so as not to hurt the giver's feelings? returnables are great,one can only pray that people know you well enough to spare the horrific surprises!
- Do you spend the holiday at home (yours or someone else's), or do you go out and eat, see the newest movie, whatever? at our home (or our family's home) playing games, relaxing, and yummy food lingering
- What do you do with Christmas cards after the holiday is over? Save them, or toss them? I'm a bona fide pack-rat with every letter/card ever sent ot me in boxes around the house
- Cook Christmas dinner, or does someone else do that? we all pitch in with a "pot-organized"esque flavor, with a decided theme of sorts (breakfast, finger foods, etc)
- It's Christmas Eve, and you have run out of wrapping paper. Do you go out and buy more, or wrap the rest of the gifts in the Sunday comics? well, last night Sara andI quickly realized my ribbon was insufficient for all my packages (danged triked-out packaging) and quickly whipped back out to the stationary store for more... I would hope that all things were prepared by the Eve (especially since that's when we celebrate with my dad)
- On Christmas morning...up at the crack of dawn, eagerly anticipating the loot...or would you rather sleep in? *singing punk/ska*
- Do you want a white or a green Christmas? let it snow!
- Going to church on Christmas...yes or no? in Argentina [Bche] we did... not here though!
"You gotta get up,
you gotta get up,
you gotta get up,
it's Christmas mo-o-orning!"
