My family does Christmas twice.

We do Christmas with mums side the weekend before Christmas. This involves my Nan & Pop, Aunty D & Uncle M, Aunty S & Aunty J, Uncle G & Aunty V, Mum & Dad, Aunty A & Uncle G, Uncle L & Aunty G, Cousin C & Cousin K, Cousin S & Cousin K, Cousin R, Cousin E, Cousin M & Cousin B, Cousin G, Cousin H, Cousin K, Cousin D, Cousin J, My sis & partner, My bro and fiance, DF, Master J, Master M, Master L, Cousin J and partner and myself!!! So 38+ people for lunch. We buy presents for all that are under 18 which is 7 this year. The adults do

A Russian Kris Kringle, which means we buy one present, to the value of $20. Can be anything, wine, choccies, something naughty, something practical... Whatever!

Then we draw a number out of a bowl to see who goes 1st... And the first person pulls a present at random. Then #2 goes ... And the second person picks a present and then gets the option to swap with #1 or keep it. If #2 wants to swap, #1 has to swap! No choice!

Then #3 can swap with either 2 or 1, and so on and so on! So the last person gets the pick of everything!!!
We also drink lots! w always have a punch bowl made up and drink until it's tim e to go except for the designated driver!!!

At 1st we were all against this type of KK but it is so fun seeing what people get even if they don't want/need it!

On Christmas day we have my side over! we do the big lunch with left overs for dinner and drink heaps while the kids run riot and play with all there toys!

We won't be doing anything with DFs side this year because they have pretty much disowned him!
