Every year we have our traditions for the holidays. We spend many hours baking. We bake peanut butter kiss cookies and fudge. Baking for holidays is an event in our household.
On Christmas day, we are normally too busy to do everything at one time. So, after attending our church's Christmas Eve service, we sit around the living room and listen to my dad read the Christmas story aloud. We sometimes say something nice about everyone and we always manage to pray. Afterwards, we have our family gift opening time. It is fun and I love it. Every bit of it. When we were little, Santa came Christmas morning and those presents were obviously saved for then, but now we just open stocking stuffers that morning. In the past we have always gone to my Mawmaw's for Christmas lunch with the Steed family, but my Mawmaw is just unable to serve a meal for so many people. So we are having Christmas lunch at our house and it is served by my wonderful Mother. The tradition has been passed to another generation. That evening is always spent at my dads parents, opening gifts. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are wonderful. I love it. Christmas is an amazing time of year. Merry Christmas to all.
