My Review 

We didn't do anything "special" per se, just a lot of food, presents and more food. But the kids had such a wonderful time and everyone was so happy. We sang carols and read the Night Before Christmas. It was lovely. Very low pressure and homey.

I know a lot of people who try to make everything so perfect that they wind up stressing themselves out, but I think even though their pictures might be perfect, they aren't happy when all is said and done. We were low-pressure and sloppy! It was great!
