Answer
Merry Christmas Tony,
I wouldn't be able to tell you exactly what order of who should call who. Also I don't think that calling people on Christmas has as much to do with "Christmas Manners" as it does with love and Christmas spirit. I can tell you based on what my family does and friends of mine with their families. When I was younger and my aunts and uncles would call (I had 10 different sets) to wish my parents Merry Christmas it was based on the time zones. My mom live in the same time zone of 1 of her siblings but 3 of them lived 2 time zones behind us. So when we would wake up the 1st call we would get was from the closest one to us. They as the day went along and the other members of the family woke up we would receive their calls. I hope this helps.
Merry Christmas,
Summer
