Merry Christmas Eve

Today is one of my favorite days of the year. Actually, Christmas Eve...ning.

As a child, we would get together with family. Mom would make our favorite things for dinner. The tree would be shimmering. We would then sit around the fire, sipping egg nog, opening our gifts. And then as the night would wind down, my brother and I would gather our sleeping bags, snuggle in and pledge to each other we were going to stay awake to see Santa.

Tonight we're getting together with family to indulge in a beautiful dinner, wine and dessert.

The fire is blazing. Everything is in place, ready to go.
Now it's time for a bike ride and a weight work out.

Wishing a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas for you and yours.

  4. Christmas Eve is one of my favorite days of the year as well. We used to drive around in new PJs and look at Christmas lights with cocoa. I miss that. Merry Christmas!
