It's Christmas Eve!

[elseepe]

If you celebrate Christmas, do you have any special traditions for Christmas Eve? We usually watch Muppet Christmas Carol. In years past, my husband would do last-minute gift wrapping and/or assembling while I photographed everything for the scrapbook.

Is there a movie you watch every year? See above. Sadly, we didn't get to do it this year.

Are you creating any new traditions? We're certainly more prepared now so we're not doing last-minute prep anymore

Do you open presents, or one present on Christmas Eve? Not usually. I've offered but my husband and son don't seem to want to.

I remember those days of late nights assembling things and having everything ready for the morning. I don't miss that, but love that my daughter continues doing those things for my grandson. So sorry you didn't get to catch your usual movie flick this year, hopefully you still enjoyed some family time.

If you celebrate Christmas, do you have any special traditions Eve?
We find a local service to attend. We attend a different denomination every year, and then we get take out. All of my kids play the piano, so they will take turns playing a Christmas piece, then we read the Christmas story in the bible, and then we read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.

Is there a movie you watch every year?
Several - we love Christmas movies! Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, claymation Rudolph & Santa Claus is Comin' To Town, Elf, White Christmas, Home Alone 1 & 2, Muppet Christmas Carol... probably more I can't think of! Sadly, my very favorite Christmas movie, Mixed Nuts, isn't streaming and our DVD player isn't working so I didn't get to watch it this year.

Are you creating any new traditions?
No

Do you open presents, or one present on Christmas Eve?
We always open new pajamas, everything else we open on Christmas day

It's cool that you attend different denominations' services each year. I enjoy learning about other traditions. You guys seem to have quite and arsenal of picked out ready movies.
