Let's see.
Usually about the 15th of December, we put our tree up. The weekend before that, we put up our Christmas Lights.
For Christmas Eve, I used to have to go to church for 5 hours. My mom used to be the organist at our old church, so I had to stay for the "All-purpose" service, and the "Quiet" service. You know how hard it is to stay quiet in a quiet service when you're ten years old the night before christmas? Yeah. It's hard.
Christmas morning is usually the earliest I wake up all year. I run out maybe first, or second, depending on if my brother is out already or not. Then I turn up the lights a bit, and turn on the TV to something like the Christmas Parade, or a Christmas movie. With a bit of sound going, I inspect the presents carefully.
Then my parents wake up around 8/9 am and we open stuff until 11/12, where we head off to my Grandparent's house, mother's side. There, we have lunch, and open gifts from my Grandma. After that, we hijack it over to my other Grandparent's house, where we meet most of our gameplaying cousins. It's tradition to set up a Nintendo system to the small little TV in the upstairs room and crowd around it. Parents usually gather downstairs, and they come up one by one to see what's going on. Then, dinner at some point, then we go for a walk. (Last year was nice, because I was able to play my lighted GBA on the walk.) Then, we play tons of games and watch a movie before it's time to head home.
And that's Christmas. We leave our tree up until the 6th of January, because that's when christmas "really" ends. And my birthday is December 31st, so it's nice to have even more presents appear under the tree then.
