in my country, Sinterklaas (St Nicholas, december 5; tomorrow!) is the children's holiday where everyone gets presents, so Christmas has never been like that for me. i guess my Christmases have been more like what would be Thanksgiving in the US; i meet with my entire dad's side of the family on Christmas Day, which is about 20 people in total, and we all have like a 5-course dinner together and catch up. my mom's side of the family we used to visit on Boxing Day, but nowadays oftentimes we can't get the whole family together so we just meet up sometime later.
