Oh Christmas is totally different now. When I was a kid we got to pick one present to open after a formal dinner on Christmas Eve. Then we went to a candlelight church service. Then Christmas morning was presents and a big family gathering that rotated between aunts and uncles. Then two days later but before New Years a big family dinner with the other side of the family. Now, I just buy gifts for my daughter’s family. They come over a day or two befor Christmas Eve. And open them. Mum and I eat a small meal and watch a Christmas movie, with an eggnog or two. And this year there will not be any big family meals.

Do you celebrate New Years?
