And then there was that game of "how many links are there between a given actor to Narnia" that Ela and I played last night. :D

Ah, yes, that was so much fun!

*Edit*

Since Christmas is coming up shortly, I started wondering which day, the 24th or 25th, was the day each person here celebrates. My family has always celebrated (a service, visiting family, having a big meal, opening gifts, etc.) on the 24th, not Christmas day (though, we do do a bit of visiting). How about you?

Christmas service is always on Christmas Eve for me. Family dinner depends on availability. Usually either Christmas Day or Christmas Eve, though we've occasionally had to move it to another day.

Christmas Eve, we go to my mom's aunt's house for supper. Christmas Day, we open our presents and then go to my dad's parents for lunch.

When I was a child and teen : most Christmasses, me and ma with grandma, both days.

One present opened Christmas Eve morning, rest waiting for Christmas EVE(NING) properly speaking, including both soft and hard ones (clothing and books).

Since I converted, Christmas Eve dinner was Lutefisk and Ham and Meatballs with cabbage were saved to later in evening or to Christmas Day, when however a Turkey was served. Praying before manger came in too. But I had had the nativity scene since childhood.

I wish I could give a recipe for the Ginger Bread house, but usually the Ginger Bread dough (ginger bread being a very Classic Christmas dish) was bought in shop, and when Grandma once made it herself, I have no longer any memory of exact recipy.

On Christmas Eve, we have the Christmas Eve service, go home and open a present or two, then go back over for the midnight carols-and-candles service. Then on Christmas Day we have another service and afterwards open the rest of the presents. So Christmas is technically two days in our family. Maybe that's because Dad's a pastor, though.

If your daddy had been an orthodox, an uniate or a convert-from-anglican-clergy priest (dito perhaps for some converted Lutherans - either case ordained after conversion), Christmas would have been twelve days. OK, thirteen with Eve, 14 with Epiphany. In my family we tended to at least as far as food and decorations are concerned, keep Christmas till Octave of Epiphany (Jan 13).
