Re: Christmas gift giving customs, Christmas present gift exchanges
When I was growing up we always had family night on Christmas Eve and we exchanged presents with each other and then Santa of course came Christmas Morning. When we grew up our families always came together on Christmas Night at my Mom's to be together, exchange gifts and eat Christmas cookies my Mom would make and have out for us. We all use to bring a plate of our own home baked goodies too. One of my favorite moments each year would be at the end of the evening my Mom would sit and read an Inspirational Story to us that she found during the year and wanted to share. They usually left a few of us with a tear but made us grateful that we were all able to be together for yet another year.
Those Christmas Nights would hold such great memories each year and we would all so look forward to meeting at Mom's (grandma's) each year. She passed away 6 years ago and I so miss our Christmas nights we use to always spend at her house. So many great memories.
