My side of the family always starts the Christmas festivities on the Eve and parties into the wee hours of Christmas Day. That's probably why Christmas Day is always so chill for us. My aunt got a nice promotion and generously decided to have our party of about 60+ people catered with Mediterranean food. It was so delicious! There was so much food; we didn't mind taking leftovers home!
This year, we spent at least an hour taking family photos. And at least another hour doing the cousins gift-exchange of 28 participants! We always describe or say something nice about the person we drew, then we guess who that person is. Almost always, something funny is said because we're all dying of laughter and dry mouth when we're done. Then, we're off to opening presents, tons of presents! Once the living room is cleared of gifts, we throw money off the 2nd floor, and we all jump for it. Hundreds and hundreds of one-dollar bills are thrown! Michael is big enough to understand the concept, so he jumped in on the fun, and scored $10! Not too bad for my little two-year old. The night was still young at this point, and we topped it off with more games.
