We love hearing from all of our EF host families and their students about how they're celebrating the festive season! ❤️

Our family goes all out for Christmas Eve! Every year, over 25 of us gather for a themed celebration. Past themes have included murder mysteries, the Roaring Twenties, Indian feasts, and even a family Olympics. We dress up, enjoy themed food, and decorate elaborately. One dedicated family member plans everything, from formal invitations and Secret Santa to food and accommodation. Everyone contributes, from Grandad’s legendary gravy to Nanny’s years-old Christmas pudding.
