This is more of a culture tradition- our family, being from Brazil, celebrate Christmas on Christmas eve, usually opening the gifts at midnight, or at 11 if we’re impatient
my family just consists of my parents, my 15 year old brother, and I (14)
we basically eat rice,chicken/portuguese fish,rabanadas(Brazilian breakfast food, they kinda look like churros, but WAY better )
and then go to mass

We always go out for Christmas Eve lunch as a family then on to church and afterwards we each open one present. On the tree we use decorations the children made when they were small as well as ones which belonged to my family when I was a child. It’s all symbolic of tradition.

My family does the same with the ornaments!! My mother said that when we grow older & have our own families, we will take some of the ornaments & keep passing it down for as long as it can last. Haha, we use a fake tree too(: Every Sunday before Christmas, we have a get-together at a buffet with my mother’s friends & their children. & of course, church on Christmas Eve. We also choose one gift to open that night, & leave the rest for the next day. Good luck!!

I go to Philly every year for Christmas. My niece and I eat candy from sun up until sun down!

My family hates it.
