    Prepare for work tomorrow! We pretended it was Christmas eve last night and had Christmas for my daughter this morning.

    I am a fire fighter.

    We work 24 on and 48 off.

    it's just A squads turn this year.

    It's just 3 of us- Hubs, the Kid and me- tonight I'm making a beef brisket, rice a roni, and salad. We will probably have a stay at home movie night, the Kid will pick out one present to open before bed, we will put out cookies and milk for Santa, the Kid will go to bed and Hubs and I will stuff stockings...no pun intended. LOL Our big day is really Christmas Day. But actually, we have a second Christmas on New Years Day- we go to the inlaws for dinner and more gift exchanges. I come from a Scandinavian background (Danish & Norwegian) on my mom's side, but the Christmas Eve tradition must have gone by the wayside....

    Merry Christmas all!!!!

    Christmas eve at my parents. We draw names for a gift exchange. Some years have been white elephant. A couple of years we had to shop at the dollar store. This year we could shop anywhere but it has to be something in aisle 9, and under $15. It's always a lot of fun. Tomorrow at my mother in laws with my wife's family.

    Boyfriends family has a tradition of making homemade hoagies from scratch at his sisters, unwrapping presents and watching a movie. Christmas dinner is tomorrow with his folks. I have never done anything "traditional" until meeting him so I am really looking forward to being a part of something! :)

    Cooking a ham for dinner, trying to clear the house up so that we can have a few folks over tomorrow. Oh yeah and putting together the living room with the new TV console for our new huge TV (our Christmas gift to ourselves).

    We usually have an open house for friends and family and people sorta just come and go throughout the evening and share some wine, posole, tamales, etc. Unfortunately some recent events have put somewhat of a damper on this and we're just going to spend a quiet evening as a family...just the wife and kiddos and watch some Christmas movies, etc. Might let the kiddos open up a present this evening as well. My sister may stop in to say high as well as my dad's wife, but that's about it.

    I've been sleeping! Had some hot cocoa for the first time in years, though.

    i think it is more appropriate to do that early christmas day afternoon when all the families are out there and the kids are playing with their new toys. I think your whacking could become a new family Christmas tradition for the neighborhood.

    Troll the MFP forums, apparently

    Enjoying the total lack of balance in today's food (those drinks were DELICIOUS!)...and doing little projects with STNG playing in the background. We did Christmas last month when my DS was able to get leave, so it's a quiet night.

    Bottoms Up!
