In the evening.

I'll write you a description of my 24th December (from my view):

So I wake and get up late (aprox. 9 o'clock), then do hygiene and turn the TV on. We have a breakfast (the rare time in the living room 😂😂😂) and find some fairytales in the TV programs list. My dad and brother (19. y. o.) brings the Christmas tree and after complicated putting the tree (live) into the stand. Then we decorate Christmas tree while eating the gingerbreads etc. sometimes (in my case often 😂😂😂) and watching fairytales. Then we eat the lunch in the dinning room - the soup from the potatoes which we eat only this time of the year. (Cause we do the tradition that ,,if se don't eat meat on that day" - just on the dinner - ,,we will see the golden pig". Don't ask me why xDDD.) Then we watch next fairytales and eat sweets again, and sometimes - some years - we go out for a while to take some pics od the wonderful snow if there's some. In the evening we eat the carp and special family recipe of Czech potatoes salad (don't think that we eat only potatoes lol) and steak/schnitzel on the Christmas decorated table. But we bring all the food and drink close to the table, because we do the tradition that when the all family members sit down, noone can stand up until all finish eating. Sometimes we turn the radio on after dinner for a while - until we tidy the things up. Then me, my brother and mom go to the bathroom and full the sink by the water. From the half of walnuts and different coloured candles we have small boats - each boat is someone else's - so altogether we have 4 and put them into the water. We start singing carols then, only with the lights of candles. (It shows who will ,,stay" with whom next year, how the boat moves.) Our dad is ,,waiting for Santa" (in our country more like Jesus = Ježíšek). Then he rings the bell and we go to the living room where he waits for us, often with a camera with the Christmas tree as the only lighting thing in the room. It's beautiful. We see the presents and after sitting down on the carpet floor we turn lights on, and start unwrapping (this is definitely different from US I think - unwrapping in the morning 25th, right?). I usually (ha, I guess always) get Lego(s) and other stuff. Then we bath and go to sleep. I don't unwrap the box of Lego(s) though - I always build next morning, which means that I wake up early (as soon as I can get my mom out of the bed - she always puts for me the Lego stickers on, cause I don't want to make it bad 😂😂😂) next day and start building. And this year we may be in the bathroom all - even dad - to make that moment longer, and make the candle walnuts for all - even for our puppy Sophie - cause she's also the family member. I'm gonna do the Lego Friends Heartlake City Resort & Lego Elves Emily and Noctura's Showdown reviews which I'll get this Christmas.

What about you, Twinnies?
