here in norway the day we celebrate christmas is the 24th(my granfather was born on that day in the 1930s, he passed away 7years ago, only 62years old.) the 25th is called the first day of chrismas and is a hollyday, where people go to vistit others, on dinner...
so we usally go to visit his grave, then we go home, and we get guests at 16.00 or 18.00, we eat dinner(my dad makes such good food!!) and then we take it easy, while all the kids wants their presents, then there is coffe and cakes served and we open presents, we take one and one preset and read the names on them out load, and then we sit and watch while the others open(once when we celebrated at my aunts house i fell asleep while we did this.. cos it was so slow, and boaring! and they started to fight over something... man)
i feel with you FOI!!!
