When do you traditionally celebrate Christmas?

Dec 8, 2011 7:00 PM

Growing up I always had three Christmas's. The Saturday before Christmas was spent with my mom's extended family, with eating, singing carols, and a gift exchange. On Christmas Eve, we always went to my dad's parents' to celebrate with his side of the family. Then on Christmas morning was celebrating with the immediate family. It always seemed to work out well, and everyone was happy with the set-up.
Now I'm on my own and situations have changed. Still do the Saturday before Christmas with mom's extended family. But Christmas Eve is spent with my fiance's family, and Christmas morning is at my house with only my fiance and my daughter. The afternoon of Christmas we again celebrate with my fiance's family. And at some point we will make it to my mom's house for dinner and gift exchange.
Just wondering what other's do for celebrations.

I like to get it out of the way in early August.

@cloudscout:

Celebrating Christmas in August is (likely) more correct for historical reasons as well.

We do ours on Christmas Eve because my brother goes with his GF to her Dad's house on Christmas Day.
Cool with me, gives me all Christmas Day to destroy some noobs on Xbox.

I have always celebrated Christmas with family on Christmas day. This year it will be with a couple friends in Japan or alone in Japan, hopefully the former.

I live alone and my family lives far from here. So my gift exchange is in the afternoon on Christmas Day with all my friends. I usually let my dog have one of his gifts first thing on Christmas morning, just so it feel like Christmas morning and because he is so good about not getting into stuff under the tree, even when he knows it's for him.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
