Back before the kids where all grown, we would let them open one present on Christmas Eve, then they would awaken at about 5 in the AM, getting every one else up.

On Christmas Eve, I'd usually take the boys out to shoot a turkey, or Wild Boar, some kind of dead animal. Then we would cook it over night, to be ready the next day.

Christmas afternoon always meant a movie for us.

This year wasn't near as hectic, What with my wife being in a wheelchair now, due to her knees, and the supposed cold front, (that turned out we never had) we told every one to just stay put. Didn't want them to get stranded out here.

Anyways, I made a nice Christmas meal for the wife and I, and we enjoyed a quite day at home. It was really pleasant, except for the 2 and a half million telephone calls that came in today from Family and friends.

I heard the wife talking about having the family out on New Years, which is cool, that way they can crash for the night, if they have too much to drink, and the Grandkids can play on My PC. (They love my machine, cause it has lights LOL)
