Now we do most of the big stuff on Christmas Eve with my family. All the aunts and uncles and brothers and sisters and cousins get together at my grandparents house and we spend time together and have an amazing home made meal! Its really a lot of fun to see the people that I only see about twice a year. I love my family and I love when we get together and hang out. (Although sometimes I do wish I could have gone to my church Christmas Eve service). But we get together and have a blast and get to see all the baby cousins experience Christmas.
Christmas at my house honestly is not that big of a deal. We don't celebrate all day, we don't throw massive get-together's with the family, and we don't spend all day opening expensive presents.You see, we actually do the exact opposite, we are very relaxed about it. We wake up around 9:30-10:00, calmly open a few gifts, watch some T.V. every year we go see a movie (This year it was Sherlock Holmes, very good by the way), and then we come home and relax, watch T.V. eat an amazing Ham dinner, and since it was on a Sunday this year I got to watch football! Very relaxed, and I love it because I get to spend time with my family.
Now if you don't know this, Christmas is a very important holiday, it was the day our Lord and Savoir Jesus Christ was born. Crazy right? Anyway, this is the real reason we celebrate Christmas, to celebrate the birth of the man, who only years later, would sacrifice his life on the cross for us, all of man kind, so that we could be free and cleaned from sin and have the opportunity to spend eternity with God our Heavenly Father. 
Please people, don't forget this holiday was set aside so that we can celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Happy holidays, hope they were great!
