No family this year - I don't fancy flying 12 000 miles for a Christmas goose.
The town where I live has street parties on Christmas Eve. They start around noon and run into the wee hours. Nothing raucous, very family friendly. The parties resume after lunch on Christmas Day, and Boxing Day is for clean-up.
It's a grand time. Everyone (or nearly) comes out - the oldies, the wee ones, all in between. Music, dancing, food that'll hurt you, games for the kiddies, Father Christmases everywhere you look. Great fun.
