Within the year we celebrate tons and tons of fun and exciting holidays. My mother always chooses to celebrate Christmas Eve at our house because she always says that its her most favorite. We invite all our family members, from my moms side and my dads. Every year the number of guest at our increase by a ton. My mother makes a handfull of different foods and desserts. After everyone finishes eating we gather around the huge Christmas tree to open gifts. The rule at my house is that we only open one gift per person and its supposed to be the biggest gift you recieve.It doesnt take us very long to open gifts, we spend about five minutes. After that everyone goes home. Christmas Eve is a very memorable holiday for my family because we get to spend it with family and friends.
