My grandparents got the hide-a-bed in the guest bedroom, and my aunt and uncle took my sister's and my beds, so that left my sister and I with nothing. In addition to the normal tradition of one present opened on Christmas Eve, we got to also open one special present each. Sleeping bags!<br/><br/>The present my sister chose to open was a Monopoly game, and I remember my aunt sitting with us on the floor teaching us to play. And she made sure we pronounced Reading Railroad correctly, lol.
