Christmas Eve
My family had our traditional Christmas Eve party again this year. We have done it the same way every year for as long as I can remember. My family all gets together and we just hang out for the evening. We eat dinner and then exchange gifts among the adults. We also bring a gift for the kids to open.
It's a nice way to celebrate the holidays - being with family. This year was especially important to my gram because I think that with all that she has gone through this past year she was afraid that she wasn't going to see another Christmas. But by the grace of God she has and we hope to have her here for quite a few more.
I did something a little different this year. I brought my uncle Frank home with me to spend the nite. Usually on Christmas Eve he comes home with Brian and then someone from his house comes to pick him up and then brings him back in the morning. I decided to keep him with me this year. I knew he would like that and that gram would,too. And they both did. Frank loved being around the kids.
Being Christmas Eve there will be things that need to be assembled. That means a late nite and very early morning. That is exactly how it happened....Labels: family, holidays
