    It varies year to year. We always try to have our family Christmas ON Christmas, but it doesn't always work out.

    This year, I am heading to my Mom's on Christmas Eve, but the rest of my siblings won't be there until Friday. We will open gifts and have our annual party that evening. We get wasted and play Win, Lose or Draw. It's men v. women, and it always ends in a screaming match about who is cheating and lying. Happy Birthday, Jesus.

    I am heading to my Dad's on Saturday to open gifts with that side of the fam.

    Seriously contemplating telling the wife everything starts at my parents, and hers as well, 60-90 earlier than it actually does so maybe she will be on time.

    That's awesome. I'm hoping to get an interview in Denver for a residency next year. I would be buying new equipment the second I heard from them.
