Whats everybody do for Christmas ?
Christmas eve we go to my folks house and exchange gifts with family (My mom, dad, two sisters and bro and appropriette spouses, nieces and grandkids). we tradionally have sausage baked with peppers, onions and whole tomatoes (we'll use my home made sausage) with way too many differant types of desserts. Christmas morning, we have an "open house" at our place with tons of food , drink and one of those "gift grab" gift exchanges. Christmans night is usually a quiet evening with naps and burping.
For those that have never done the gift grab, its a riot. Everyone brings a wrapped gift (usually something chrstmas) and they all go into a pile. In exchange for your gift, you get a number. Number 1 goes first and chooses a gift from the pile and open it. Number two, has the option of taking number ones gift or opening another and so on. After a gift changes hands three times its frozen. The number 1 guy has the last option. Its a great christmas party game (coppious amounts of alcohol help liven it up too, so I hear).
So, what do you guys do ??
