I've only seen on TV (Because I'm Asian)that there is a Christmas tree and Santa Claus gives gifts to every child, but I know Santa Claus is played by their dad or mom.
 
Ah Christmas the most magical of days 🙄

Allow me to talk you through a typical Christmas day...
  • Wait up the night before until the kids go to finally go to sleep so they can be given their stockings. Everytime you creep in to check on them they will be awake.
  • Be woken up at the crack of dawn.
  • Everyone minus the children would rather be in bed, someone puts on Christmas music to wake the adults up. Wham will be heard.
  • Someone will notice that Santas milk, mince pie and Rudolphs carrot have not been touched. Distract kids with gifts while someone chugs the milk, eats half the mince pie and tries to make a big reindeer like bite mark in the carrot.
  • One kid will not get what they wanted and will throw a fit even though nobody recalls them ever asking for said gift.
  • You will sit on the floor trying to put together a kids toy that they must have at that very moment, cursing under your breath at whoever purchased the toy.
  • You will watch as the kid puts the newly built toy aside and plays with something else.
  • Discover that at least one gift is broken (usually the one that you have no idea where the receipt is or the one that's hardest to send back)
  • Someone will comment on what a waste wrapping paper is and very possibly will also inquire when the bin men come again.
  • You have to wear at least one item of clothing that you've been gifted regardless of whether you like it.
  • Have the wine open well before lunch. Someone will be drunk early.
  • Have at least one fight. Possibly over people being in the kitchen when others are trying to cook.
  • Eat as much of the food that has been creating a food mountain in the cupboard of weeks as possible. Feel Ill.
  • Have brussel sprouts on the dinner table even though nobody likes them.
  • Someone will mention that the Turkey is dry. Cue evil looks from the cook and a comment that they can cook it next year.
  • Pull a cracker and be forced to wear the stupid hat. Get a 'prize' that will be either thrown straight in the bin or found months later in the junk draw
  • With more alcohol flowing someone will make a comment that will "ruin Christmas"
  • Older relatives will put the queen on the TV then promptly fall asleep
  • Watch the same Christmas movie as every other year.
  • Play a family game. 75% chance this will cause another fight
  • Eat more food and drink more.
  • Drunkest person will break something.
  • Eat more food and drink more.

oh cool,It's so interesting, Thank you so very much.
 
Not usually...but...

One of my favorite Christmas memories was when I was on deployment in Bosnia....
Christmas morning the Mess Sergeant made sure everyone...even those of us on watch , had a hot cup of coffee and a bacon , egg and cheese sandwich.

That really meant a lot to us who were far away from home , out in the cold and wet...doing a tough job.

I am well thank you.
I work with students who have behavior issues at my school...so its a lot like the Army...only I don't get to cuss so much...LOL

Getting back to Christmas...it was fun watching them get all excited for it.

Work. Then when I’m done, I stuff my face and light a spliff. Best part of Christmas is spending extra on myself and not any other thing.
