No bedtime either, but I would generally fall asleep playing before morning came. Christmas Day was spent performing not a heck of a great deal, eating what was leftover from Christmas Eve dinner, having fun with new toys and such things. Now that we have our own kids, our traditions are a mish-mash of nordic, german and north american traditions. The children put their shoes out on the windowsill during nights leading to Christmas, and Santa fills them with candy. Christmas Eve is family christmas time, so we do presents at my inlaws with my wife's family. Christmas morning is santa present time. Christmas dinner is moved to Christmas Day.
