It depends whose house I'm at really.
If I'm at my Mum's, which I won't be this year, my little brother, 13 now, will still be up at some ridiculous time, usually around the 6am mark and will wake everyone up. My older brother would've gone and got completely smashed the night before but somehow, the Christmas spirit manages to drag him out of bed, after probably only having 3 hours sleep. We all head downstairs to open presents and exchange formalities, "Thank you, I love it..." is my favourite. After that's done, my older brother will go back to bed, I'll usually head back upstairs for some Playstation or a bit of TV, and my younger brother will stay downstairs with all his new stuff! My mum will usually rest for a bit before making a start on Christmas dinner, which is usually ready for about 2pm. After that, it's just any old day for us really, with a few drinks and then the next day we'll be back at eachother's throats!
At my Dad's it's a little different, in the sense that he doesn't allow us to get up until at least 9 o'clock, which I'm fine with! This year may be a bit different with two babies there, but we'll see! The same present exchanging routine occurs, although I usually just get money from my Dad, so it's a lot quicker! Then the main difference between my Mum's and my Dad's Christmas is that all of my Dad's girlfriend's family, who, let's just say aren't of a decent upbringing, all decide to come and cramp into my Dad's house, make and eat Christmas dinner, and try and make me wash up (which every year has failed.) I'll have usually migrated upstairs to play a bit of playstation again, before coming downstairs to say bye etc!
So yeah, no church, no leaving the house at all really, just a nice big jam ;D

But we're going round theirs on boxing day

I usually just play around with the presents that I got (and I've got some weird ones in the past..) and mum goes and makes lunch. Whenever it's ready, we go and eat, and either drift off to sleep, play with what we've got or watch TV until we're tired to go to bed.







Cant wait.
