My family still opens presents on Christmas eve, but since I’ve had kids I let them open a few on the 24th and then the rest on Christmas morning. They get presents from Santa, but my mom never did that.

I miss the “brinde” (little golden trinket that used to come inside). It was so much fun as a kid anticipating getting it. Oh well!

I’m
your generation and I line it :)

The
cake used to have a metal prize inside but it was forbidden some years ago
(maybe 10/15) for safety reasons. It seems that some people would break teeth
or, worse, choke with them :(

A big
difference between the Canadian and the Portuguese Christmas is that we open
presents on the 24th, at midnight
