Thanksgiving is kind of the "warm up lap" for Christmas!! those who did turkey for T-day usually opt for a nice ham or a roast with different side dishes and goodies. some might host the big get-together on Christmas Eve, with gift exchange after dinner. many families have their own Christmas morning, usually pretty early if there are small children that have been waiting for Santa! parents will stay up late the night before and put all the gifts under the tree. and then head off to grandma's (or whomever) later in the day. some might have 2 or 3 stops to make!!
