In my house we open one present on Christmas Eve, ones for Santa come at like, 1 in the morning, some families open all their presents on Christmas Eve from eachother and then the ones from Santa on Christmas. I'm not sure if the other families have Santa then. How sad.. maybe they were bad

We are pretty broke, so I'm making all of my gifts. I'm working on ornaments today. I think people really enjoy handmade stuff, I've always given handmade goodies at Xmas.

We also open one, sometimes two gifts on Xmas eve and the rest in the morning. If Santa is supposed to deliver the gifts first then that SOB has missed my house all my life.

I knew he was out to get me. When my son was a cutsey little boy most of the gifts made it out to the tree long before Xmas eve.

I used to lie for the fat old man but I don't anymore. My name is on the gifts I bought. Evil old man.

Hi Benjamin!
I am going to have to go back and check out the "light bulb" idea. Sounds great whatever it is.
I treasure my homemade gifts and whenever I take out the homemade ornaments it is like visiting an old friend. Have a good one.

I work for the fire dept and yes we work on all holidays, so Santa has to visit the firestation and we have Christmas there. And I agree with benjamun, I like homemade gifts from the heart the best!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
