We have this crazy tradition in our family that was started many, MANY years ago, but on Christmas Eve someone tries to be the first one to say CHRISTMAS EVE GIFT for the day. And usually it's me b/c I get up early, and I send an e-mail at 5:00 am! LOL It's great! And then all morning long on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day we answer the phone "Christmas (Eve) Gift", just in case some one else in your family is calling & you get them before they get you. It's just something funny we do!
Have a Merry Christmas!
