How are you celebrating Christmas this year?

Christmas Eve I go to my mom's where we do dinner (last night it was beef tenderloin, scalloped potatoes, spinach casserole, corn, fruit salad, and pop-over rolls which are to die for), we stayed the night there (where I got to spend time with my kitty, he is suuuuuch a bed hog, but that's okay, I like it), and this morning we got up and had eggs, bacon, & toast and then opened presents!

This afternoon I came home to my dad's to wrap 4 more presents, passed out for 30 minutes in utter exhaustion (thank you hard as a rock bed I had to sleep on at my moms), and then got up, and lugged some presents to my aunt & uncle's house where we ate an early dinner (beef tenderloin, ham, cheese potatoes, green bean casserole, corn casserole, cheese potatoes, macaroni, navy beans, rolls, and all sorts of desserts). Then, of course, we opened presents--which was a weird experience this year (in the sense that my other aunt gave me 3 flashlights and a pocket knife.....)

Finally, I went home to my dad's where I set up all of our stocking stuff, waiting for my youngest sister to get home, and for my dad to finish wrapping the rest of my presents (which turned out to be mostly mine). As soon as everyone was ready, we opened presents here (where I really racked up--which is rare)

Now I'm **EXHAUSTED** and need to put some Christmas stuff away.......

But.....we don't do anything like go to midnight mass or various church services or caroling or anything. We just do presents--and eat. We always eat.
