Living in a traditionally catholic country, it's not like I can ditch christmas...
And having 3 kids yearning for presents doesn't help!
For the past week, they've been counting down the days till christmas.
So, what do we do when the day comes?
On the evening of the 24th, we have dinner with my dad and brother, at my place. Presents pertaining to those two outsiders are distributed. Kids get toys and chocolates... yeah! But only after going through a nice meal of Bacalhau with some veggies, like cabagges, carrots... everything boiled and covered in olive oil... The traditional christmas dinner.
On the 25th, everyone wakes up to find more presents near the fireplace! yeah!
Then we have lunch at my in-laws. More presents for the kids... perhaps one for the adults!
Then, on the 1st of January, we got o my mum's place for lunch. More presents!! We used to do this on the 26th, but she now has work on that day, so we postponed.
Did anyone count on how many occasions the kids get presents in one single christmas?
