I have no idea how this "tradition" got started but after opening each and every present on Christmas morning, everyone shouts.HEEEEYYYYYY.. (as in hey-drawn out very long). We take turns opening presents and watch each other open the present, after which the required hey....is said, (or shouted) then we move on. So this causes Christmas morning to be very long, due to the largeness of our family, and the decibel level to be very high in the house. This year we even taped a Heyyyyyy ...for Elder Steve on a tape we sent him for his missionary Christmas so he can have a hey...just for him. I know this sounds very lame...but it wouldn't be Christmas morning without our hey........
I'm a middle aged lady, young at heart, wife of Terry, mother of 7 great kids, grandma of 13 of the cutest, smartest, and most charming grandkids in the world, including one angel baby in heaven, chief cook and bottle washer, driver,& counselor. I love to be creative, learn new things, the color red, clutter-free spaces, chocolate, naps, office supply stores, fabric stores, & taking too many photos, just to name a few.

Lame? No. That's pretty much the cutest thing I've ever heard.
