dutch ancestry
For those of you who celebrate Christmas, do you exchange gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?
We exchange gifts on Christmas Eve. My mother says this is a tradition in our family because we are of Dutch ancestry (since both sides of the family have been in North America for at least 4 generations, it’s amazing we keep it up). Regardless of when you celebrate, I hope you have a Merry Christmas!
We used to do it on Christmas but due to a tragedy last year we switched to Christmas Eve we have a memory candle light service to light candles for those who have passed on and exchange gifts if not alreday done so. I gave my children their gifts last month but the grands have to wait for Santa I just put my stuff under mom’s and dads’s tree Bless you have a safe and Merry Christmas
