A long standing Christmas tradition is spending Christmas Eve with my family. For many years we would go to my mother's home for Christmas Eve dinner, but in the past couple of years, Christmas Eve has been held at my sister Steph's home.
I know my mother would have loved to continue to host Christmas Eve at her home, but her health isn't what it used to be. And since we live farther away from her, my sister's home is the best midway point for everyone.
A Christmas Eve tradition- open stockings before dinner. The stocking gifts are usually from my mother and the boys always look forward to the fun and silly gifts.
Moe and my nephew Tommy are the only "youngsters" in our family.

A new Christmas Eve tradition- playing Christmas music.
Not pictured is RM playing the piano. My brother in law Eddy on guitar. Moe on the ukulele. And somewhere in there, my sister Steph and I provided the vocals- most of the time we were on key.
It was a fun Christmas Eve celebration filled with food, gifts, love, & laughter. I hope that this Christmas Eve tradition continues for a very long time.
