THAT Holiday

I'm not going to lie, I'm not a huge fan of Christmas. It's gotten way to commercial, and that seriously annoys me.
Some of our family traditions are, getting a tree and decorating it the weekend after my birthday. We all get ornaments from the year before and out those on the tree. Usually the night before Christmas we open one present from our siblings, and sometimes we open pajamas, which we then wear that night. Then we act out the nativity story wearing clothes that my dad got while he was in Jerusalem. We usually sleep in till about 6, then wake up our parents and wait at the top of the stairs while my parents "check to see if Santa really came" and then they let us down. Last year, my parents asked if I wanted to help put the presents out. Then, we divide the presents up and then open them up one by one, while eating one of those huge cans of the 4 different kinds of popcorn in them. After that, we eat pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, and then usually papa murphy's pizza later. We're not allowed to seriously play with our presents until we shower and get dressed. Usually the day after we go to my grandparents house the day after, and open our presents from them. Overall, we have a very boring Christmas.

  1. That sounds really relaxing. I think that's the best Christmas you can get.
