Thanks, Jo @Serendipitous Stitching, for another fun year of the Advent Calendar! Welcome to day...
This is an oldie, but a goodie. Sorry I don't have anything new to show.
The question this year is, "How do you celebrate Christmas Eve?"
We normally go to 4 o'clock mass, but have to get there an hour early so we can get a seat. You know, those CEO's* come and it's packed!
If you're like our family, you decorate your sugar cookies that evening, as fast as you can!

Just before Nathan gets ready for bed, Santa/Spike leaves a small Christmas tree with some pressies for the boys.
Every year, it's new pj's and a small ornament for each of them.
Then we settle down to watch Christmas Vacation.
I know it's silly/stupid, but that's what makes it so funny! "She wrapped up her damn cat!"
And finally, if we remember, we read "The Night Before Christmas" before heading to bed waiting for visions of sugarplums to dance in OUR heads!
Thanks again, Jo! Be sure to head on over to see Barb tomorrow.

What a beautiful stitched Santa! I really enjoyed the creative way you shared your Christmas Eve with us.
That stitched Santa looks absolutely great. It was nice to read about your Christmas Eve tradition.
Hopping by on the blog hop. Love your stitched piece no matter when you stitched it. Love your traditions. We do some of the same things. We watch National Lampoon right before Christmas with my dad. We also wait to put out the presents after Jeremiah has went to bed. I love the surprised face Christmas morning. Happy Holidays!
