I love Christmas. It is one of my favorite times of year. The music, the decorations and spending time with family. We have Christmas traditions that I have been doing my whole life.
On Christmas Eve, my family always attends the 7:00 family service at church. I love this service because the little kids put on the nativity play. They are so adorable. Then we head back to my parents house for a late dinner. We are allowed to choose one present to open to help tide us over to the next day.
Since Michael and I got married, we wake up on Christmas morning and open presents with each other, and then head over to his Grandparents house to have Christmas with them and his little nephews. I love watching them open presents. Last year, his little 4 year old nephew got so excited over socks! Adorable.
After that, we head to my parents house to have Christmas with them. We always make monkey bread, a family favorite that is very easy to make. You simply take Pillsbury rolls, split each roll into three pieces, roll them in balls, then roll those in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Add a little butter and put it in the over = delicious!
We then head back over to Michel's grandparents for Christmas dinner (not really dinner since it's 3:30, but that's what they call it!), then back over to my parents house for their dinner at 6:00.
Needless to say, we are very exhausted and full by the end of the day! It's such a wonderful time, and this year I am very happy to be able to share it with Michael. My Christmas couldn't get any better!
