I'm something of a Scrooge when it comes to Christmas. I will be covering shifts at the bar over the majority of the festive period, with the exception of Christmas Day.
On the big day itself, my folks will be driving my uncle and aunt to the airport since taxi fares will be extortionate. When they get back, we will be going to my sister's house to meet with the rest of the family. While the rest of the family will be eating their Christmas Dinner there, I will be going down to my girlfriend's. She also runs a pub and she is opening hers until 3pm, so once the bar is closed we are going to have a barbeque since neither of us are big lovers of eating turkey meat.
But as an added bonus, we are going to Tenerife for a week on January 4th for some winter sun. The weather in the UK during this time of year is, for lack of a better term, depressing, so it will be good to get away.

For those who don't celebrate Festivus, Chrismahanukwanzakah is also an acceptable celebration.
It's okay if you're a Muslim, a Christian or a Jew It's okay if you're agnostic and you don't know what to do An all inclusive celebration, no contractual obligation Happy Chrismahanukwanzakah to you

Get drunk. Just get so drunk.
I'm staying at my parents, so I'll have to do with an incursion by my step sister and her 4 year old and my aunt, but my parents hate holiday cooking and my dad doesn't do presents so that's gonna be me escaping as soon as I can. Then a Friendsmas over at my work friends house where we will all have a lot of alcohol and play Wii and open gifts.

I'm a die hard Oakland Raiders fan, and they'll be playing the Eagles that night. So I'll be watching that. Probably check in on RAW during commercials. I don't really celebrate the holiday, outside of watching the Christmas Story marathon, and putting up my Charlie Brown Christmas tree. Lol.

OK, so legit answer this time.
My immediate family has always opened presents amongst ourselves Christmas Eve morning, which kicks off the night before with the annual Christmas Vacation watch party. Hallelujah, holy shit, where's the Tylenol?! So per the norm, the night before XMas Eve, my brother and I (and now with the inclusion of my wife to the mix) will be at the parent's place, and then open our presents XMas Eve morning.
Then we celebrate with Mom's side of the family XMas Eve night over at GMa & GPa's place. Typically stay a 2nd night with the parents then, and we all still do stockings XMas morning. Then we celebrate with Dad's side for dinner (lunch time, but is still biggest meal of that day, so it's dinner to me), and most of the afternoon on XMas. Then, relief, as we head home that night to escape all the family.
However, now with being married, comes a whole new family to celebrate with over the holidays. The wife has 2 sisters, who are both married, and have 6 kids split between them (one of them is pregnant again with a 7th neice/nephew on the way due in July next year), so the best time to get all of us together is around New Years, since they all have other families to celebrate with as well. So for a couple nights leading up to New Year's Eve, we will spend with her side, and do presents and the whole thing with them as well.
Lots to do. Not enough time to ourselves, even with like 12 days off of work. Busy busy busy.
