"In my family, Christmas was spent at my uncle's house. Our family arrived on Christmas Eve with presents and food. But we were not allowed to open presents until Christmas Day. My cousins and I then spent the evening eating and hanging out while we waited until after Midnight Mass, which, to our young minds, was technically Christmas Day. So instead of sleeping and wake up the next morning like most people, all the kids would tear open all the presents and stay up for another 3 hours! It was always fun and we all have great memories for each of our Christmases. Even now, our family gets together for the whole day even though we don't have piles of presents to open!"
