Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is the day when everyone finishes their shopping and families come together in the spirit of the season. Children leave out cookies and milk for Santa Clause in hopes that in the morning a pile of presents will be awaiting them. It is also the one night when no matter how tired you are, you tend to have problems falling asleep, due to all the suspense of what could possibly be under that tree. Everyone awakens early and enjoys a nice family breakfast, present opening soon comes, and then other traditions take place.

In my family Christmas breakfast is always breakfast casserole, but for those of us who do not like breakfast casserole (only me), you get toast. Then we start opening presents--first we go through our stockings, then seperate the presents into individual piles for each person, and then we open them one at a time in a cirlce. This year we will be going to a matinee movie (Sherlock Holmes) and then watching more Christmas movies at home, while the turkey dinner is cooking. I love the holiday season and being with my family. There is only one thing that could make it better, being with the man I love on Christmas day. That however cannot happen until after college and we are living together haha, so until then it is the best it can be :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
