Christmas Eve Gift!
What you ask is this Christmas Eve gift you speak of? It is actually a simple gesture started by my mother as a way to engage family and friends close and far in a simple holiday visit, phone call, or in some cases creative interaction. In short its a stupid excuse to be the first to exclaim "Christmas Eve gift" and talk to someone you care for on Christmas Eve (Christmas Eve Gift) and Christmas (Christmas Gift). The first to say Christmas Eve Gift/Christmas Gift wins the love and admiration of the other and usually elicits an "ahhh you got me" out of your prey. The only ground rules are that it cannot be a text or email.
I say prey, because it has gone far beyond that loving gestureand has morphed into a stealthy game of Christmas Tag with delivering creative Christmas Eve Gifts (got'chas) via phone, well timed letters, carolers, or my personal favorite is paying the Sheriff $50 to personally serve a door knock"Christmas Eve Gift - God Bless - [insert your name here]". In most cases though we all just start calling each other at the crack of dawn to be catch our helpless Christmas victim off guard and catch up on life. Have fun with it. If you have siblings it becomes brutal.
Have a wonderful Christmas and a great new year.
God Bless
