The Christmas Eve dinner started when the kids saw the first star (really
annoying when it's cloudy), and we got to open presents after dinner (according
to my friends you do in the next morning in the US - is that right?).
It really is sort of strange that all the fun of Christmas was actually on the
day before, and then on actual Christmas Day we just ate leftovers and had to go
to church <G>.
My mother was Polish, and we always did (and still do) the big Christmas Eve family dinner, followed by presents. Christmas Day is the day we went to Mass. When I married my husband, it actually worked out quite nicely- Christmas Eve with my family, Christmas Day with Gordon's. My kids thought that Christmas gift-giving came in two parts for everyone.
