Christmas

[Christmas]

well... if you celebrate it on xmas eve... yes it is. I always did xmas eve growing up. but with my daughter now I do it in the morning, the kids get a bigger kick out of getting out of bed and seeing all those gifts heh.

Well my point is Christmas day is the big day. Not eve. People drink the day before Thanksgiving but there is no countdown for that. Unless you are an alcoholic.

lolol.

Eve?

Why not the day?

It's like maynard said. As a kid, waking up to presents under the Christmas tree or in the stockings or under your bed is the greatest part. But Christmas Eve is when Santa Claus is out on his sleigh, when you have Christmas dinner with the family, listen to or sing carols, watch Christmas movies, etc. Great memories.

xmas day might be the big thing here. but in Europe xmas eve is the night of celebration and dinner and presents in most places. really depends where you were born and how you were raised.

Same here.

I always got a bigger kick out of seeing it in the morning, it was always a nice wake up call.

Santa doesn't exist, you loser.

But it was funny...last night at work, this little kid kept bashing Santa.

Saying he was fat and all.

His mom got upset and pointed to me saying, "Don't say anything bad about Santa, she's an undercover Elf."

He got all flustered and hugged me apologising to me saying he didn't mean what he said about Santa and then he cried.

It. Was. Adorable.

I KNOW HE DOESN'T EXIST!! I know about Saint Nicholas and his miracles of secret gift-giving and how Santa Claus is only a model and how Coca Cola used him to advertise in the 1930s etc etc.

That story made me lol.
