Since my sister has to work for the 4 days around Christmas(she's a nurse), her shortest scheduled day was Christmas Eve, so that's when we had our celebration, such as it was. It was just us three, our mom and us, so my sister stopped at our favorite Italian restaurant for take out pasta dinners, which we all enjoyed. Then we opened our gifts, all of us getting some nice practical gifts, as well as funny ones. My sister loves the Minions, so there were several items featuring the little yellow creatures. She got me a Chia Pet dinosaur, since I've retained my childhood fascination with prehistoric beast. And I bought our mom a t-shirt with some cartoon polar bears, which I think she liked better than anything else she got.
We usually do everything on Christmas Day, so the early celebration has left me a bit confused about the exact date right at the moment. I know some families always do things on Christmas Eve, so it's interesting to see how habits affect one's perceptions. Thus, my very late greetings.
