All year long I dream about certain Christmas traditions my family does to help with Christmas spirit. The month leading up to Christmas is full of traditions, but Christmas Eve is ever-so-special. Here's what we're doing today on Christmas Eve.
1. Wake up and take the chocolate out of the 24th pouch on our Christmas calendar.
2. Watch Polar Express for the thirty-second time this season.
3. String popcorn and cranberries for the Christmas tree.
4. Bring out the Christmas village and put it on the table.
5. Lunch: pigs in blankets
6. Mix oats and sprinkles for Santa's reindeer.
7. Watch the snow fly!
8. More food! Assorted cheeses, summer sausage, fudge, little smokies, olives, more pigs in blankets, fudge, etc. Snack all afternoon.
9. Watch A Christmas Carol.
10. Go out and look at lights, provided the snow doesn't hamper this. Take a tour of the Angel Festival out at the lake.
11. Read How the Grinch Stole Christmas and The Night Before Christmas.
12. Put kids to bed so that they can dream about sugar plums.
13. Watch the best Christmas movie ever, It's a Wonderful Life.
14. Take a nap.
15. Go to Midnight Mass. Usher in the first hour of Christmas the right way.
Whatever your Christmas traditions are, I hope you enjoy them and that God blesses you and your family!
