With family.  When I was a kid it was Christmas Even at my grandparent's house followed by Christmas morning opening presents.   We'd have Christmas dinner at my other grandmother's house.   Now that I'm older, I actually host Christmas dinner usually, though everyone pitches in.   My main way of celebrating is putting up my Trek Tree-- a full sized Christmas tree with nothing but Hallmark Star Trek ornaments on it.   My friends and family shake their head, but it's beautiful!  :)

That's Will Power!

I would never be able to do that!

I like to watch my daughter open her presents on Christmas morning

That's how Christmas used to be celebrated in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance until the mid 1600's when Cromwell abolished Christmas-but the people wouldn't have that so they replaced him with the royalty that Cromwell had replaced

You see, the people at first didn't mind not having a king but when Cromwell took away Christmas, they just couldn't tolerate not having Christmas so they ditched Cromwell

Cromwell was, frankly, a fruitcake.   :laugh:

No food at all, or just during daylight hours, a la Ramadan?

Isn't there another person wearing red and white whose lap you'd rather sit on?


:laugh: I thought I was the only person on earth to know about that pic! You take it back! Poor Robert! Really though I'd sit on his face if he asked.

I used to get my presents the 6th December from Saint Nikolaus. Now that I do not get any presents, I do not celebrate anymore. I just go to jmass, I hate that. And I watch TV. I never felt the christmas spirirt. I feel even bad during christmas.
