Merry Christmas Eve!

Okay….so I have not been able to post as much as I wanted to about Christmas this year…
but that’s okay. I will have plenty more Christmases to blog about in the future…
But I just wanted to share some of our Christmas Eve traditions.

1. We do our sibling gift exchange.

2. We do a family white elephant exchange.

3. We do a shaker gift (new tradition). This idea/tradition we got from a friend. They have ONE shaker gift. The only gift they are allowed to pick up and shake {hence the name}. And they have like the week before Christmas to shake the gift and figure out what it is. And on Christmas Eve you make your guess(s). Whoever guesses right gets the gift.

4. We watch “It’s a Wonderful Life”

Those are a few of our Christmas Eve traditions. I am excited for Santa to come visit! {haha}

I am most excited about being with Family. I LOVE my family! And love that this time of year focuses on that.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
{I'll post some of our Christmas Day traditions later}

Christmas Recap...

Christmas was GREAT! It was the first Christmas in like 3 years that the entire family was together. It was super nice. Randon and Callie came into town on Tuesday. I did have to work all week except for Christmas but it was not too bad.
I love the Christmas traditions we have. We also incorporated a couple new ones this year.
---We have a Taco Dinner Christmas Eve (New tradition). It was so good!

---Christmas Eve we have a White Elephant gift exchange...I won The Office Trivia Game.


---We also do our sibling gift exchange Christmas eve as well.
---We started a new tradition with a 'Shaker' gift. Everyone is allowed to shake this gift. We all guess what it is and the person who guesses correctly wins the gift. Randon won it this year...
--- And it's not Christmas if you don't watch 'It's A Wonderful Life'
Callie got a yoga set for Christmas so Mom, Callie, and I decided to try it out...It was fun. I sure felt it in my shoulders the next day though.


I love Christmas. Most especially the Christmas Spirit. I wish it lasted all year long.
