Merry Christmas

Jesus is the reason for the season!

Just thought I'd share a few of my family's favorite Christmas tradition. Some are old, some are newer.

• Every holiday season I watch my two favorite Christmas movies: Die Hard and Love Actually.

• On Christmas Eve, my family goes to church. Then we come home for a light seafood supper. Dad gets shrimp and crab balls, my SIL makes soup, and I have some type of side dish. We exchange gifts with my family at this time.

• On Christmas morning, the kids open their presents. Then we dig into our traditional (from generations in my family) Christmas breakfast of oyster stew, pork tenderloin and sweet rolls. Yum!

• Christmas dinner is spent with Hubby's family, either at my MIL's house or at mine. It's the basic traditional meal: turkey, ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc. Sometimes MIL makes a lasagna. Not sure why that's a tradition, though, since no one in the family is Italian.

• Christmas night is spent with some old family friends. (Meaning they've been friends of my family for a long time, not that they're geriatric!) It's a light supper of sandwiches, chips, fruit salad, cheese, crackers, etc.

Ok. So yeah... it's all about the food and fellowship for me. Christmas is ALWAYS a super busy day for me, but it's worth every busy minute.

Merry Christmas!
