the day after thanksgiving we cut down our christmas tree
christmas eve we celebrate with my mom's family. when i was 7 a candle caught a silk plant on fire. i was the one who noticed and told all the adults so every year after dinner my uncle asks me if there are any fires everyone should know about. also we always take the little ones to my grandparent's family room where there is an entire wall made of glass and we look for Rudolph's nose to blink in the sky. amazingly enough there is always a red light in the sky. then santa comes in and hand out presents.
on christmas day we all get up at 8 and open presents, and then we go to my dad's friend's parents house and open more presents. this is where each person gets a christmas package consisting only of underwear and socks. finally we have my dad's side of the family to go to and after dinner we always play trivial pursuit, which my dad almost always wins.
