Having one of those days were I swear to you...I thought I had two more days 'BEFORE' Christmas Eve....YIKES... found our a short time ago that TOMORROW was Christmas Eve!!! Great Galloping Goblins...where did the week go??I am blaming it on the 'Martians'...
We are having my Mom and Sister over for Christmas Eve Dinner ... having Crab (tradition be damned!) and a Caesar Salad, and Creme Brulee for dessert, it was my Moms request...YUM-O-RAMA!!!
We open gifts and sing songs (Richard and I have been working on a rendition of Baby it's Cold Outside to surprise my Mom with) ... We normally chat about old times and good memories...
Might play some games too....
Basically it is a quiet silent night filled with peaceful feelings.
Christmas Day we are going over to my Moms apt. building and dropping off some gifts for a few of the kids whose parents are having a bit of a struggle this year with work and all ...these are great little children ... filled with so much love and hope in their hearts... We are just gonna tell em that Santa got just a little confused with street directions and that he accidentally dropped off these goodies at our house by mistake .. but that I already was in touch with Santa to tell him no problem, we would straighten it out for him...and deliver the goodies to the right address....
So what is everyone doing on Christmas Eve or Day? What are your traditions?
Merry Christmas to ALL...and To All a Really Good Night!!
Hugs,
Jodi and Richard

Jodi that just sounds delightful.. Tell you mom HI from me...
My son is coming up tomorrow and we are having a turkey dinner... not as fancy as Thanksgiving. Then we open presents on Christmas morning... relax and do nothing... That evening we are having a couple of people over and have a prime rib... I know I know extravagant!!! We will play games and lament on how much we've eaten : )
The day after Christmas we are going to Seattle and spending the night....
Merry Christmas to you and YESSSSS it came toooo early!
