yee, my family usually invites cousins over on christmas eve, and sometimes we see the lights or some christmas show and we also watch a movie on the 24th
this is why i like christmas the most, the treats, presents, advent calanders, break, making yourself finally feel like no stress, and the best thing is Christmas day
its an experience that people will definitely remember throughout their lives, and christmas, halloween, and thanksgiving/birthdays are all the holidays to get the most candy/enjoyment usually in the year
