Hellooooooo!! I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO CHRISTMAS!!
103 days now sweetie!
I Can't for some roast potatoes and to put up my christmas tree! I love christmas day, we always get up at around 6am. We rush downstairs and put on christmas music and switch on the christmas tree lights, then we open all our presents. Then we look at all of the things we've recieved. Then I make bacon sandwiches and we eat these at about 7am, nice and early so we can eat all day lol! Then we call everyone who gave us the presents and say thank you and wish them a merry christmas. Then we mill around all morning watching tv, listening to music, eating chocolate lol. Then we may a big roast dinner at about 12.30. We also make a bowl of pasta. Then at 3pm everyone heads to my mum's house for a potluck christmas buffet - we take our pasta. We also take some "snow mousse" for the kids - it's just a white chocolate mousse I make with grated white choc on top, the kids love it and call it snow mousse. lol. Then at about 9pm, after all the buffet food is gone and mulled wine is drunk and jokes are shared we head home. At midnight we have either mince pies or christmas cake or left over roast potatoes with hot chocolate. Then we don't wake up until 10am on boxing day lol!

I am!!!! i'm sooooo excited for christmas! we already have it planned out!
here's exactly what we do!
christmas eve- morning- everyone makes sure we have that last minute gift, enough bows, ribbons, and wrapping paper to finish it up and we start the cooking!
afternoon- finish up whatever we were doing earlier, watch christmas movie, and get ready for mass. go to mass.
night- start sugar cookies, eat a relaxing dinner with my grandma, finish up sugar cookies and prepare everything for Santa, watch christmas movie (this one about the real christmas) while everyone is awake we talk about how Jesus is the real reason for Christmas and retell the whole story then put the baby Jesus in the manger! while we are doing this we drink hot cocoa and have christmas songs play (usually they are playing all day) and a fire going. it is one of my favorite parts of christmas! then the babies and nathan are in bed by 9:30 or earlier. parents and kinda me finish things up by 10-12 (i'm usually in bed by 10, i help them wrap some things)
christmas day- morning- sometimes i come down 5 or 6ish and start the coffe and make the pancake mix, and set out the strudel (i make sure i don't peek at the christmas tree or anything) then i go back to bed for 1 hour and by then everyone's getting our parents out of bed. then we go down stairs and open stockings then presents and we drink hot cocoa by the fire and eventually eat breakfast at about lunch time, call cousins and friends.
afternoon/night-we're usually playing with are new stuff parents are finishing up the cooking and i help make about a million deserts aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents come in midday. Then we have dinner with everyone(and this year we're gonna try to have a table that fits all 20 of us). Later we open presents and sit by the fire and roast marshmellows and some people watch a christmas movie and we talk about the day and have desert. that's are whole two days basically!
we also do caroling with our neighborhood and school and throw several parties and we all save and make money for the poor!

I LOVE Christmas! I love the cozy feeling by the fireplace, traditional Christmas songs, and the glowing lights that light up the evening sky. I still am dreaming for a white Christmas though ... :)

I'm looking forward to it. Once it starts getting dim early and the weather starts to cool down, I start to get in the mood for the Christmas season.

Yikes! Thanks for the wake-up call!!
We do a roast turkey at my house, with dressing (southern style) and giblet gravy. Hubby always invites a few soldiers who aren't able to go home for the holidays over to eat -- we've met some very interesting people this way!

I had the first discussion with my mother-in-law about whether we have to come to hers for Christmas Dinner again this year. Went quite well - looks like we might get to go to my family this year. At least they drink :-)
