As a kid, the grown-ups would go to midnight mass (remember those?) and when they got home we would have a midnight Christmas breakfast. Mom and Dad would cook up eggs, bacon and sausage and toast for all/any who came to visit.
Sadly, as we got older, that tradition got phased out.
Now we have a buffet dinner and the kids get to open SOME of their gift on Christmas eve.
For me, it's been the joy of playing Santa at our family Christmas party and at another friends party. Santa gets plenty of good food at both!
