Oh how I adored Christmas Eve this year. It's the traditions of the past with the 'who we are now' mixed in and it was lovely, lovely, lovely. I miss it already and wish it wasn't over.
Christmas Eve for us consists of a simple day really.
It's pie baking all morning/afternoon
and we all help prep the house for Santa coming that night. After all of our decorations have been up starting November 1st and with the flurry of a very full season of events and such our home needs a bit of a dust, tidy, and clean. And so we spent a little bit of time getting everything in order.
We attended 5:30 pm Mass at our beloved church ~ the music was devine ~ the decorations took our breath away ~ the homily was touching and inspiring ~ and it felt like home.
At home after a few pictures we changed into Christmas pjs and ate our annual cozy meal - this year in front of a roaring fire and watching a Christmas movie (and laughing, and laughing, and laughing) so so much fun!
It was a few last pictures and off to bed so Santa could do his magic.
