I was watching the movie Ted just half an hour ago . Has lots of funny bits D <| sep |> Simba is eating Pumba ' s baby <| sep |> We have a family gingerbread house decorating contest it gets VERY competitive before Christmas , which is really fun . On Boxing Day , which is also my husband ' s birthday , we invite our friends over anyone who ' s around and tell everyone to bring gifts and food they got and don ' t want . We have a massive gift swap and a big feast , and nobody dresses up . People show up in sweats and ponytails it ' s super casual and really fun . We get the woodstove going , play Cards Against Humanity , drink leftover booze from the holiday , and fight each other for terrible gifts . Also , sometime over the 36 hours of Christmas EveChristmas , we try to get in a snowy walk to look at the Christmas lights , or on the trail behind my inlaws , just to be outside . It ' s always really peaceful and makes coming back to a warm house and hot chocolate super cosy
