Christmas preparation starts in my family on Independence Day 6.12.2013. Then we usually bake the first ginger breads and build our Christmas tree. Yes, we build our Christmas tree. We have had a plastic Christmas tree since we lived in the US. It's so much nicer than a real one. We don't have the needles and the tree is thick and nice. The only thing that is missing are the needles.
After Independence day we can bake and eat Christmas pastries as much as we want, which is usually a lot. Usually around Independence Day me and my mom make our Christmas cards and send them out at the last minute so that they still reach homes before 24th of December.
We usually do not really decorate the house a lot and the outdoor lights are forgotten/left for months.
Then it's already the 23rd and we go to the grocery store that and buy all the Christmas groceries. We start to prepare the food on the 23rd and then on the 24th finish everything. In the afternoon around 16:30 usually me and my dad get my grandparents and they come and eat the Christmas Meal. After they have left it's time to open the presents.
I'll do a new post on the Christmas Foods, later on. Remember to check the blog for a new calender entry every day!
