In the Hootie family we celebrate by opening presents on Christmas Eve. But before we do that we prepare lots of food - all the yummy cookies, lunch meat, crackers and cheese, carrots, dips, and my grandpa's famous little smokies...
We get everything out and ready to eat, but before we do all of us kids load up into the car with our favorite Christmas cd while mom and dad take forever.
As soon as they come out, we all go look at Christmas lights. We always hit the same neighborhoods (the ones that are on the paid light tour). After we're done with that we come back home to find that SANTA has been to our house (LOL). We get our Santa gifts first and then my youngest two siblings, Jessica and Andrew, pass out the rest of the gifts.
From there we take turns opening gifts (youngest to oldest) and then we watch tv or a movie as a family.
On Christmas morning we get ready for my relatives who all come over. That's another thread in itself
