When I was a kid we always had to get up at the crack of dawn on Christmas Day and drive the the Grandparents. It was about a 3 hour trip to my dad's parents (where we did Christmas Day lunch with all his family) and another 30 minutes to my mom's parents (where we did Christmas Dinner with all her family) and then the 3.5 hour trip back home.
So Santa traditionally came on Christmas Eve when we went out to look at Christmas Lights. Mom always "forgot" something and had to go back into the house after the rest of us were in the car. When we returned, dad would always notice something different about the house "I turned that back porch light on..."
As I grew into adulthood, it was just a tradition I continued. So does Santa visit your house Christmas Eve or Morning? Also feel free to share any traditions and Merry Christmas to all!!
my close family (household..) Dad Me and my Sister always do exchanges on christmas eve... Started sometime in my teen years when dad was tired of waking up so early. plus it lets us enjoy our gifts early.
I think it started with getting 1 gift xmas Eve. now we usually just do our gift exchange since we are all adults then eat mexican food... Tacos have always been a christmas eve tradition
