Happy Christmas Eve, everyone! Hopefully the day has been as great for you as it has been for me! For the crazy's who like snow, it looks like there will be a white Christmas. And if not...well at least homes have heaters. If your family is anything like mine, Christmas is all about family. Now that we're all grown up for the most part, Christmas has become the time when we all get to see each other. My brother always comes up from Vegas, I'm home from school, and everyone just wants to spend time together. It's perfect.
Like many families, Christmas is where most of our traditions come from. Every Christmas Eve we go to breakfast as a family and then try to visit our grandparents. Breakfast is great, except for the fact that we get up so early for it. I'm not a morning person. Another one of our traditions is doing what's called "Shepard's Supper" where we have simple sandwiches on the floor in front of our Christmas tree. Dinner is where the spiritual side of the holiday comes in for us. We read the Christmas story from Luke 2 and sing hymns. Of course we open one present, which is ALWAYS pajamas, on Christmas Eve. After re-reading this paragraph, I've realized most of my family's traditions revolve around eating....hmm....
Christmas morning has routine as well. We get up at 6:30 to open presents, but in the days leading up to Christmas, everyone tries to convince my little brother that we should sleep late and enjoy Christmas since we're all older. We tease him about waiting, but we never do.
Christmas is perfect for spending time with family and laughing. I hope everyone enjoys the holiday and has a great Christmas! Merry Christmas Friends!
