We celebrated Christmas with Phil's side of the family on Christmas Eve. We have quite a large group on his side of the family as well, so there is always plenty of activity. We sang carols, had a couple of special music numbers, and Grandpa read the Christmas story. The younger cousins draw names for gifts but the young & older adults draw numbers and take turns picking from the pile of unwrapped gifts or stealing one that has already been opened from someone else.
