That Black Cake sounds really tasty. I will have to make a point of trying that out when I am in the area.

What we do for Christmas (My wife's family celebrates Christmas).

My wife always has a tree that she decorates with lights, glass balls, beads, and other orniments. I never had that growing up, so it is a new experience for me. I really enjoy everything about it. The money to buy the tree goes to help the local fire department. I get to spend time with my wife decorating it. The smell in the house from the tree is really sweet, and the lights are really festive. It brings out that fun holiday spirit.

So besides that, we go to her parents house on Christmas morning for some late breakfast. After everyone gets there and is finished eating (this takes a while as they are a very extended family!!!), we go and open gifts. The kids play for a while and then we go home. Not too exciting, but it is just the way I like it, short and sweet.
