Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time

"One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas day. Don't clean it up too quickly."

~Andy Rooney, American writer, producer and humorist

Happy Christmas Eve!

It's Christmas Eve. In our house, Christmas Eve is the big event. We don't open packages until Christmas Day, but we have lots of fun on Christmas Eve. We play board games, and watch A Christmas Story, we make cookies, and just enjoy being together. Alan works so hard all year, and it's a wonderful chance for me to make a big fuss over him by fixing all his favorite appetizers and nibbles. Later in the evening we will track Santa's journey around the world. Santa At Norad is one of our favorite Christmas traditions. I wish it had been around when I was a child. Silly, I know, but I really enjoy watching his sleigh making it's way around the earth. It's magic.
