↳ In-reply-to » @prologic An entire month of looking at presents that you’re not allowed to open? That’s torture. 😂

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org The 23rd? Why even bother with a tree at that point? We would usually have one about a week into December. They last much longer if you have one of those tree bases with a water reservoir.

That’s interesting, we don’t follow that procedure over here. The tree goes up, presents sit under it. As a child, I got to open presents from extended family members the night of Christmas Eve. Then, presents from Santa on Christmas morning and a big dinner that night. In my family, we’d have Thanksgiving dinner (turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, etc) again because none of us really liked ham, which was the most popular choice of entree.
