?Going back to Santa Clara for Christmas. We used to watch the Christmas lighting tree ceremony in Los Altos, which is always fun. We weren?t able to make it to Roseville?s ceremony (this year).? ~ Jean Brando, Roseville

?I have a huge family so everyone gets together. Everyone?s pretty much married so that?s the chance to see each other and just hang out and get to know what everyone?s up to.? ~ Alyssa Lyasota, Antelope

?Every year on Christmas morning my family gets together at my son?s and daughter in-law?s house and we open all the gifts under the tree. We make homemade waffles and top them off with strawberries with homemade whip cream.? ~ Richard Turk, Roseville

?Opening presents. We do one Christmas Eve and then the rest on Christmas. I like spending time with the family. That?s the main thing Christmas is for, right?? ~ Nick Barnes, Roseville

?Our family does a steal-a-gift. Everybody buys a gift for a maximum price level and then you wrap them, put them in the middle and everyone picks numbers. The person who picks No. 1 gets to pick any present they want, then the next person can either take a new one or steal it. Once a present?s stolen three times it?s in that person?s hands.? ~ Dave Jagoe, Pleasanton
