Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and in our house it's a day of preparation and celebration. I love our Christmas traditions. Every year on Christmas Eve we bake Christmas cookies, decorate gingerbread houses, wrap presents, read the Christmas story, eat all sorts of delicious food, and before we go to bed every kid gets a gift of brand new pajamas to open! Christmas morning is very organized. Before we open presents we read the Christmas story again and sing Christmas carols. Wearing our new pajamas, we wait patiently while Mom hands out the presents. Then we wait some more for our turn to open a present. While we open presents we munch on some pumpkin bread and coffee until the breakfast casserole is ready and we finish opening presents. After presents we gather 'round the table to eat our breakfast. Then it's back to the front living room to dig into our stockings. The rest of the day is spent tinkering with our new "toys" and eating candy, cakes, pies, and cookies that we made in the weeks before. Christmas night we sometimes go to a movie or play games. Christmas in our house is always a wonderful time that everyone enjoys!
