Christmas Eve Traditions

Every year on Christmas Eve the kids get to open one present which happens to be their Christmas pj's - and then we do the usual reading of Christmas stories and setting out cookies for Santa before going to bed. Sadly due to mom's lack of preparation this year - the cookies were store bought from a gas station on our way home from Shen, and the apples for the reindeer were replaced by a large bowl of water... Better luck to us next year.
