#12, My Christmas Traditions

On Christmas eve, my dads side of the famiy ( his older sister and her husband, his younger brother, and his mom) all come over to our house. We eat Chinese food and open presents from my grandma, uncles and aunt. Then we go over to my mom's mom's house in Yankton. At her house is my moms brother, his wife and their kids. My Step- Aunt, her useless husband and her two kids. Sometimes my dads side of the family will come up too. (it depends if it's snowing or not)

The next day-Christmas day- we all sleep in at my house. When everyone wakes up, Nolan, Brandon and I open our stocking first, then my parents do. When the stockings are done, we move to the presents under the tree. Whoever buys the presents wraps them. So far this year i've wrapped four presents. (i have no clue what to get my oldest brother)

When we're done opening presents, everyone helps make breakfast. Usually it's french toast. Christmas night we go down to Fat Boys, my aunt and uncle's old pizza place downtown. They invite a bunch of friends, us, my moms family, my dad's aunts, uncles and so on. We all eat Ham, Potatoes, and a lot more good stuff. After dinner we go to my grandma's house (my dad's mom) and open our stocking from them. We stay a while and talk, then say our thanks and go home. Overall, it's a great two days.

New Year's Eve, we light fireworks at my house. Then New Year's Day, my brothers and I go mudding.
