First Christmas Eve

My side of the family exchanges gifts on Christmas Eve. Growing up dad and mom would take all of us out for dinner after Christmas Eve service, but as the nieces and nephews started coming along it wasn't practical to go out to dinner at 8 o'clock at night.  So we started having dinner at home before church....more kids came along - dad and mom decided that we should also exchange gifts on Christmas Eve so that my brother's families didn't have to go to a bunch of different houses on Christmas Day.  It has worked out really well.  The kids exchange gifts with each other (they pick names on Thanksgiving) and the adults do White Elephant.

Ready for everyone to show up...
