Once we started to have little kids in the family again it became too hard to travel back and forth with Christmas the next morning. Now we still get together but we usually do it sometime the week after. It's easier and we also have a chance to take advantage of the after holiday sales. All of the kids have a cousin exchange and they can find better deals this way. It's a more relaxed atmosphere and we still have our beef on weck!
