I love Christmas Eve. My son is 16 now so we don’t have as much work as we used to so we can enjoy some wine and visiting more. Won’t be too long before he’s old enough to have a glass of wine with us.

Christmas Eve has all of the best festivities and ambiance.
The parties and the fun and the drinking and the cooking and the fireplace and the movies on TV (Home Alone and Wonderful Life) and all the greetings leading up to Midnight Mass.
Christmas Eve is alive with wonder and Christmas Day is just a day off for most people.
Christmas Eve is where the real Christmas Spirit is at. It's my favorite day of the year by a long shot.

Definitely, and I've been this way since I was a kid. Once Christmas morning comes, it's all over and I'm waiting for the season again next year. I've been known to pack up decorations the night of the 25th. Probably what will happen tomorrow.

Christmas Eve night is the vinegar strokes. Absolutely the best.
Christmas morning is the climax and then immediately onto the cleanup.

Enjoy it more than Christmas Day. Have a nice Christmas Eve breakfast, go to church in the afternoon, then drinks, food, and open gifts. Christmas Eve night has been a long family tradition.
So you basically do Christmas on Christmas Eve. Obviously it's better.

It’s a bit weird but I always seem to have more fun on the Eve. The parties and playing Santa Claus when the kid goes to bed. Christmas Day almost feels over at noon.
same with us, we do christmas eve together and open presents, then fade away as desired and meet for family christmas day lunch and then in our mind its done
it seems each generation has smaller family groups that get together for holidays, rather than have everyone going to grandma house for a big gathering. young people today dont seem to like big gatherings of family

You just have to create some family traditions for Christmas Day that don't involve kids opening presents as fast as possible at 4am.
- Create a breakfast tradition
- Watch a special movie on Christmas Day that you save all season
- Find an elderly couple to bake something for and bring to them
- Go knock on someone's door and sing a Christmas Carol
- Visit a nursing home, etc
There are a lot of ways you can build special holiday magic on Christmas Day. You just have to reserve some things and wait to do them that day.

Hard disagree....but that may ne shifting
For the longest it's been just me and my wife. That being said Christmas eve is mostly spent at her family's christmas....it's nice, but can also feel like a chore.
Christmas day was just us... We'd forget about everyone/everything...exchange gifts, get Chinese, make cocktails and just spend the whole day with each other..amazing.
We now have a son..5 months old so the whole sonata shared isn't nessecary, but I'm a still a special kinda excited for tomorrow... can def see me getting excited for Christmas eves to come playing Santa now that you say it

Sorry, we sure do get attached to our animals. Still miss my dog and it’s been 5 years.

Christmas eve when the whole extended family get together.
Christmas is just immediate family and more intimate.
Eve definitely more fun, but both are special.

It’s all about our savior. Both days are wonderful! I understand where you are coming from too.

Dogs are gods gift to mankind, no doubt in my mind. Merry Christmas. Hope you are raising up another pup.

Always loved Christmas Eve way more… even though my parents made us go to Xmas Eve service.
But the best times were when my parents had a little too much to drink at the neighbor’s party and they said we didn’t have to go to 10pm service. We stayed home and flipped back and forth between A Christmas Carol and I’m Gonna Git You Sucka.

I always did. We never do anything fancy, just constant flux of friends and relatives, cooking outside, shoot down some mistletoe, build a big fire outside, fireworks etc… Christmas Day was just a everybody chill day.
Having to miss Christmas at the old home place this year for the first time in 48 years .
It was a good run.
