Hagen Family Christmas

Ok, I admit that the next few posts are mainly for the grandparents and other equally-interested parties. So all of you out there who don't have the time to read about the Hagen family Christmas traditions, please feel complete freedom (free of guilt :) ) to skip this post (but if you have not see the post I did about Mikayla and my trip recently, you should definitely check it out - located after the Christmas ones). Also, if you opt to skip this post, be sure to check back with us in a few days for a new one; I try to update fairly often. A few years ago we started the tradition of sleeping "under the Christmas tree" (translation: in the living room) every Christmas eve as a family. We set up the mattresses, the kids get to open 1 present (new pajamas) and watch a Christmassy movie while eating popcorn and drinking hot cocoa. Family fun for everyone! :)
When the kids wake up the next morning (they made it to almost 7 am this year!), they open up their stockings that are stuffed with little toys, treats (like grapes - treats change once you get overseas) and a little candy too.
After the stockings, we do living room clean up and get dressed then have coffee cake for breakfast. Then Steve tells the Christmas story (this year Ben did somersaults during most of it) and we talk about the real meaning of Christmas.

Then it is time for presents! We have tried year after year to keep the number of presents "reasonable", and I think we finally pulled it off this year (being so far away I think helps with this). Here's a pic of the kids with their loot.
After opening presents as a family (this year it culminated with a treasure hunt for the kids to find their big presents from us - see the following posts for what those were), we do Christmas on skype with video with grandparents in the States. Then we just enjoy family time the rest of the day, including a dinner and an all-important nap. Oh - and we answer the door a LOT. Caroling here takes on a whole new meaning - people come to your door all day long, some singing, some just saying that they are "Christmassing" (in Tagalog of course). You have to go give them money or food or they will stay there all day calling out. So our front door gets quite the work out all day as well.Well, there you have more than you probably wanted to know about our Christmas. Do you have any family Christmas traditions you can share with us?
Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!
