What you doing for Christmas Eve and/or Christmas Day? Christmas Eve: Lunch with Alex and MIL, and then going over to my sister's house for "Noche Buena" - Alex works at 3pm, so I usually take him dinner before we eat that way he can have a good homecooked meal as well. Christmas Day - waking up early and going over my sister's house to see the kids open their gifts, and then I usually make breakfast for the entire family.
Any must do traditions b/w you and DH? Not really, we just open the gifts after midnight.... it's our little time alone to exchange gifts!

We usually just do it all at one house but DH's mom broke her knee and had to have surgery on Monday so she's not up for partying.
Any must do traditions b/w you and DH? Opening gifts early on Christmas Day...thats about it so far for now. Im sure there will be more as the years go by.
Great Poll!
Gladys: I would be scared of the PS3 too!
We were wayyyy too lazy to get our wedding pictures and albums together, so the parents have all been informed that they will have to wait.
