Another quick no picture blogmas post. Popping on here while downstairs trying to find the Die Hard dvd. Happy Christmas Eve!
Pretty simple on our Christmas Eve traditions over here. I usually go shopping in the early morning.
Do lots of last minute things, eat Christmas cookies for the main meals of the day (not really, this year we did Church’s chicken because Subway closed earlier than we thought).
The last 2 years we’ve gone to the candlelight Christmas Eve service at a church where J’s band sometimes plays accompaniment to the hymns.
And our final tradition is for the boys to open Christmas Eve presents. The presents are always the same, Christmas Eve pajamas and a book. This year was Frosty the Snowman and books on etiquette though my kids have fairly good manners. Just thought the books would be good reference guides now that they’re getting older.
And I did ornaments this year as well. Spiderman for G and Mickey Mouse for J.
Okay, time to go watch a Christmas movie with my husband. Hope everyone is having a great Christmas Eve.
Hubby and I watched football and played Yahtzee while keeping an eye on the weather and keeping fingers crossed that we could have the boys over on Christmas Day. That’s not really Christmas Eve tradition though, since random events just happened to land together this year.
I don’t think we really have any Christmas Eve traditions now that the boys are grown and on their own. Hubby and I put gifts under the tree in the evening, and I fill stockings before I go to bed. Other than it’s just finishing up any last minute things that need to be done.
Merry Christmas!!
We watched a little football at our house yesterday as well 😉 Actually, I listened on the radio because we have an amazing radio announcer for the Chiefs that makes it super exciting.
That was a GREAT CHIEFS game. Ironically I went to lunch with a girlfriend and we happened into a favorite little bar unknowingly that it was a SeaHawks bar! But, I routed for the Chiefs!
It was a good game. It was COLD for the lucky ones that got to go to it. The radio announcer was talking about how his drink froze while he was holding it in his hand prior to the game. I’m so glad they won though. Hopefully, they’ll keep doing good.
Hope you enjoyed the movie! Our DVD player broke on Christmas so guess that goes on the January shopping list. I DID do a thing this morning though. Ran across an email with an awesome KITCHENAID deal where I saved $167 dollars and got free shipping. My new mixer will be here for 2023 😀
We didn’t get to watch it because we couldn’t find our copy. Husband thinks it was with a group of movies that he moved when he was doing work on our bedroom. I’m sure it’ll turn up in time for next year. HOORAY for your new mixer! I’m so excited for you. You are going to love your new Kitchen Aid.
