So I should remember to call my grandmother tomorrow!

Oh! Do you get two sets of presents then? I used to, but only because we celebrated St. Nicholas day, which is just before xmas (but only if I polished my shoes the night before).

For presents, not anymore! When I was a kid, I'd get presents for St. Nicholas day if I put my polished shoes outside the door to my bedroom, for New Years, and for Old New Years. :D

Man, I miss St. Nicholas day. I need to start celebrating it properly again - I think it's the only way I'll ever get around to polishing my shoes >.

oh, I meant to ask - is it a hungarian tradition to hang chocolates on the tree? I'm trying to figure out where this came from (it could be german, austrian, hungarian or something else, not sure).

Yes, chocolates in bright foil wrappers in different colours, usually chocolate-covered marzipan and fruit jellies of various kinds. :D I think this may be a tradition from Austria/Hungary rather than Austria separately.
