Christmas Eve Gift

My family has been saying this to each other,ok and everyone else on Christmas Eve as long as I can remember.

Used to be you'd call my Grandma on Christmas Eve and she'd answer the phone by saying "Christmas Eve Gift!"

We've carried on this tradtion. Now it's all about who can say it first to each other. My husband, yes, the guy that thinks we're all a little nutso got me this morning! I got up at 4:44AM to use the restroom and he says "Hey, Christmas Eve Gift" I stomped my feet like a little girl and said dang it! He laughed and told me he was just trying to remind me. Of course that's not how it works, he SAID it first to me, he got me.

I called my brother who was on his way to work, I had just heard him honk as he drove by, and he answered his cell very cheerfully saying "Christmas Eve Gift!"  Ugh!

Anyone else have silly/fun little traditions?

By-the-way "Christmas Eve Gift to all of you!"

We all gather at my sister's house and her husband is a big kid on Christmas day.  Even though we have a set time to open gifts - 1:30 pm, my brother-in-law will find the youngest child in the house and convince them every half hour starting at 9 am to go to my sister and ask if it is time to open presents yet?  It gets comical and the children are growing up and getting savy to his tricks but they still do it just to satisfy him.  It's a hoot!

Thats funny
On christmas day my dh answers are phone he says ho ho ho Merry Christmas,one of the little ones had called to tell me thank you and he answered the phone this way and she started screaming and her mama ask why she said mommy i called aunt wesa and i gots to talk to santa clause so my dh just kept her talking it was so cute.
My gmal used to say i love ya now what did you bring me..to everyone that walked thru the door.
Merry christmas

I thought my husband's family was the only one who did that.  i never heard of anyone else doing it!  I posted about it in my local board post this morning.  I've gotten him for the last 6-7 years and he got me this morning! 

I hate to lose!  But it's nice that he won for once in a blue moon! 

We dont have any silly/fun traditions. Ours are more traditional..

My kids get to open one present from us on Christmas Eve immediately after dinner. It is always a new pair of PJ's (preferrably Christmas/Winter themed) and they have to put them on before we open gifts at my parents house on Christmas Eve. And then they have them on for opening gifts at our house the next morning.

My mom and I use to always watch "Miracle on 34th Street" (the original one) as well on Christmas Eve while my dad was at church. We still try and watch it, but the kids arent that into it.
