Christmas Traditions

[Emmsmom]

We really don't do much. Our family is about 3 hours away. We usually go down and them just not on many holidays. The roads are really packed up here this time of year and I just assume not be out on them. PLUS my MIL (who only thinks about her other kids.....)always holds a get together on Christmas Eve. It is usually around 6 PM or so at night. I am sorry but I can't do that.We wouldn't get back till 1 or 2 in the AM. My grandmother and her husband usually go out to eat with friends.

Now when I was a kid we use to always go over to Granny and Papa's on Christmas morning and stay till supper. We always spent the day together. Of course things change.

Here we open up gifts on Christmas morning and then later I fix a nice meal. We clean up later that day. lol

Christmas this year is going to be different for us. Normally we spend Christmas Eve down home with families. This year my oldest daughter is due that day but we all know that the baby will get here whenever he is good and ready. This year we are staying home and all of our 3 children will be here plus Oldest daughters boyfriend. It should be a fun time. Would be even more joyous if we did have a little one here but that's ok. In Gods time. I will fix a big meal on Christmas day for lunch and for supper we will just snack.
