Every year my family celebrates Christmas on Christmas eve. We always serve Mexican food. On Christmas day each family has their separate celebration. I am going to my boyfriend's celebrations on Christmas day What are your plans and traditions?

I work all day, so any plans are pretty much gone. I also have no family close anymore, so really just don't celebrate it.

My Christmas seems to come early because a lot of my efforts are mailed or done so people have the day free to be with family that is in the area. With Dad in heaven I am going to have a quiet restful Christmas this year using up the phone minutes talking to those long distance. I have thought about planning a Christmas Mingle Bash for 2014 since a lot of folks would probably enjoy the milder weather we have here.

I'm gonna be working for most of them and I'm pretty sure I got a date for one of the nights I'm not.

we have a traditional family supper and gift opening Christmas Day the menu is not entirely decided but lasagne will be one item, with a big salad & bread just out of the oven. Oh and I usually make baked beans or chili with ribs or ham, but I am in the mood for something different that the kids won't expect like a duck....or swedish meatballs :)

I spend Christmas with my daughter and grand kids. We invite people over for dinner I'm baking a ham making dressing and green bean casserole. Then my daughter will cook what she likes. I'll spend the night Christmas Eve. The kiddos make it happen. Then dinner with friends add to it. Merry Christmas everyone
