little2add Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 Just one problem with exchanging gifts on Christmas Eve, in my case. Me wife’s birthday is on Dec 24 too, so (all of he life) she feels a little shortchanged if her birthday and Christmas gifting is done on the same day.

PadrePio Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Q1.Nativity scene much common than Christmas tree. Q3. People don't have much wealth except for the middle class and above.. So people can't spend much money on gifts... Though in some parts of the country it is one of the shopping seasons Q2.. Christmas star and decorations Located in Kerala, India.

little2add Posted December 24, 2021 Author Share Posted December 24, 2021 When my kids were little, we opened gifts Christmas morning. But not until Mom got up… So we could all be together to savor the moment. Always went to midnight mass too!, when my kids were little. 1 day to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Grey, Hot Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Growing up, starting on Christmas Eve or Little Christmas Eve, we would open just one gift every day until Epiphany (or until we ran out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Lithuania the Christmas Eve (Kūčios, December 24th) is even more celebrated than the Christmas itself Feast of the Epiphany in some cultures is also known as “Little Christmas”. Lithuanian Christmas trees are, invariably, spruces (even the local name is "Christmas spruce") but fake "trees" became popular since the 2000s.

No reason to complain there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
