It's changed through the years. We once opened gifts with our children on Christmas Eve after 1st going to church and coming home to a nice dinner. "Santa" would come for another gift opening to be done Christmas Day. Once the kids left home and had in-laws we had to share them so our holiday changed considerably. THEN we moved here so again more changes. The kids have come down but more often have not for Christmas. We still go to church and have a nice meal as well as drive around to view the lights. We've laid aside the materialism of the season and try to focus on the "true reason" for it.
