This is more like “Because there is a Christmas soon, I go to my parents house”.
I think it is a time for good old クリスマス＋だ＋から. クリスマスがあるから sounds like something is going to happen due to the fact that Christmas exists. Also if you are going to your parents place, where you also used to live, then the most colloquial verb is 帰る, not 行く。
You could use 行く if it is a parents home of your partner for example: 今日は初めて彼女の実家に（へ）行く。(it is also better to use に, though へ could also be used it seems, it is less colloquial).
It seems it is okay to say まもなく but it is rarely used without a clear verb in the main clause it seems so might be better to replace it with もうすぐ（=really soon） or そろそろ(=soon but not just yet). So what about the version below?
そろそろクリスマスだから、今日は実家に帰る。

明日、私と家族がクリスマスを祝う。お母さんに私が贈り物をくれる。
translation
Tomorrow my family and I will celebrate Christmas. I will give my mother a present.
far more unsure about the second sentence than the first but hopefully its not gibberish at least.
In the first sentence you don’t really need 私, you can rewrite that sentence as
明日、家族とクリスマスを祝う。Particle と will basically imply that it is you plus your family.
The second sentence is indeed tricky. It is easier to think of くれる as meaning “to be given”, it translates to “give” usually when you are the receiver of the present(お母さんが私にマスクをくれた). When you give present to somebody else a different verb should be used. So I will leave fixing that sentence for you as a challenge. Also, 贈り物 is a nice word but quite outdated. In generic sense it does mean gift and there is nothing wrong with that, but in practice プレゼント is so much more widespread when speaking about Chirstmas/St. Valentines/birthdays etc.

Also I want to give a big shout out to this site. It has helped me tremendously with learning Japanese grammar. Completely worth it and I can’t wait to see the future. I’ve been really enjoying the new app. I went from knowing so little to understanding so much more due to practicing with this app. I’m always still learning but I really feel like my skill has sky rocketed so much compared to last year.

Ahh thank you so much for the pointers!
It’s funny, I initially wrote the sentence with プレセント, but became unsure and changed it. プレゼントする (since it’s apparently a suru-verb too) might fit better than 贈り物をくれる in that case.
I’ll see if I can fix the sentences later today.
update:
明日、家族とクリスマスを祝う。私がお母さんにプレゼントする。
I was hinting for another verb that is commonly taught with くれる 
プレゼントする kind of asks to specify what the gift is in my opinion. Seeing it without を is weird

One last try
私がお母さんにプレゼントをあげる。
Actually hadn’t done the lesson for neither くれる, nor あげる, so that’s my fault. I’ve done their lessons now since it will be hard to forget getting it wrong twice 
Anyway thank you for the guidance! It seriously helped.
Merry Christmas
I am pretty sure it should be は instead of が 
Merry Christmas
