    What's everybody got planned for christmas? Do you celebrate christmas?

    At work we've done a kris kringle/secret santa event where everybody picks one name out of a hat, and we buy a present for that one person.

    At home, it isn't much of a big deal. We don't even set up the Christmas tree anymore.

    I actually started putting up decorations before Thanksgiving this year XD. Here's my tree! <3

    This year we're hosting Christmas Eve at our new house with my side of the family. I'm excited! We're doing a White Elephant Gift Exchange (Everyone brings a gift that most people would want or that they'd want $20 limit, and we all draw numbers and start choosing a gift in order. On someone's turn they can either pick a gift out of the pile or choose to steal a gift from someone else, but gifts can only be stolen twice before they're out. And if your gift gets stolen, then you have the option of picking from the pile or stealing someone elses gift and so on. It's super fun!) vs getting everyone gifts. Then on Christmas Day we're doing christmas with my fiance's side.

    I <3 Christmas

    Ah yeah, we call the White Elephant Gift Exchange, 'Bad Santa' here. It works. As long as people don't take things too seriously.

    That is the most epic tree I've seen Charlie!!

    The Natty Light does add that hint of sophistication.

    Aw, Junior that sucks D:

    I am going home to my parents with my siblings and uncle, so we're not that mnay (6). We start the day with visitng my uncle at his apartment at 11am where he celebrates with his son because he's divorced. Then we eat christmas brunch and my cousin gets his presents. We will be us and some of my uncles friends.
    Later we get home and yeah. My dad, uncle and I get drunk and I hit a club later on I think.
    We celebrate it at the 24th in Denmark.

    At home, we celebrate Christmas by having a family dinner. No Christmas fancies though (Xmas tree, lights, etc.). :|
