Nice. I wish I could have one Christmas, just one, doing absolutely nothing, but that hasn't really ever happened, ha. Perspective is a funny thing, hey?
You're lucky you have a good family who you actually have fun with. I honestly envy you, but in a good way. :-) Enjoy!
Honestly, that sounds bloody amazing, to me, as an agnostic, consumerist, toxic-extended-family-that-does-the-exact-same-thing-each-year person, ahaha...
Would love something like that, honestly. We do the big get together, but it's just presents, where literally no one gets what they want, because no one communicates. Then a massive, OTT lunch, lots of drinking, christmas crackers, and generally then uniquely Southern Hemisphere shit like swimming in the pool, and playing backyard cricket with the dog...
It's... Fine, but it's really just like a BBQ with extra trimmings. Not very "Christmassy" at all. And literally almost EXACTLY the same every year. I can't believe how much stress and friction it causes my family, though... They even fight over who has done the best food prep, and who has the best oven!! :-/

You can be the one who starts the religious reverence for the holiday and cut out the consumerist materialism.
Christ welcomes you with open arms, brother. Pm me here if you ever want to talk, I’ve had a journey and can lend my advice if you want it :)
Merry Christmas
White Christmas must be pretty cool, as someone who has only seen snow from a distance on Christmas, once, haha...
Though I guess being hot on Christmas is also equally novel! It's just that I'm very used to it, and really know nothing else, lol...
But yeah, have a great Christmas, dude. Jealous, ha.
