We spend Christmas Eve at Paul's Mom's house, and open our presents from them, and they each open one present, usually ours.

Christmas Day (now that Dad is retired and we can *gasp* have Christmas on Christmas) we gather my whole family at my sister's house - her house is the biggest, so we can all eat in the same room without having to have double-decker tables - and have either dessert and presents or dinner and present over there.

Another Christmas season tradition is getting as many family-members and friends to a Messiah Sing as possible. We have been doing this for 20 years and several times had three generations there, and usually have representaives in all four parts.
