35 days til Christmas SWeeps!

First, tell me if my loophole works.

If i register multiple times for SWecret santa, do i get to send multiple gifts? :D

Dont judge my question. The answer is always no until asked 😅

Family gathering at my aunt and uncle's. Women mostly together talking in the kitchen, men talking in the living room, the progeny of them downstairs watching sports. Me flitting around them all not feeling at home, stepping out for a smoke sometimes accompanied by our drug addict, we have a pensive talk about whatever no more than 10 words total spoken, before the meal is served we all bow our heads while usually my dad says grace, then the food is sooooo good, it almost makes up for the general awkwardness of everything. We open presents after the meal, kids running around everywhere, pictures taken which i avoid like the plague. My sister in law's dad sometimes comes dressed as Santa, making the kids gleeful.

We take family out for Christmas Eve then come back to our place to open up all of the gifts. The kids luv it! 🎁

I come from a family that’s incredibly impatient. But in a good way. After gathering at my aunt’s house, the adults would be so excited for others to open their presents that we’d always get the green light to open them after our Christmas Eve dinner. This was after Santa’s secret was revealed so it made for a bit of sadness come Christmas morning and an empty Christmas tree. But the night before was so incredibly awesome with that group of grown up kids who just couldn’t wait one more day.

Going to a movie then having Chinese food. The family does everything on Christmas Eve.

I enjoy everything lol 😆
Food, family. Seeing peoples faces when they open gifts lol

Watching Muppet Christmas Carol on Christmas Eve whilst the turkey is roasting or mince pies baking.

Sadly now the kids are left and married it's not the same.

Mince pies roasting on an open fire
Jack Russells nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a liar
And folks dressed up like dominoes

And whilst you’re at it you can sign up for SWecret Santa 🥰
