Christmas Talk

1. Tell us what your favorite thing about Christmas is.
Honestly everything...including the weeks leading up to Christmas.  If I had to choose though, I'd say seeing how excited my kids are about it.  They make every holiday more fun. 

2. Tell us what your plans are for Christmas this year.
We are really laying low this year and I'm so glad.  We will spend Christmas Eve visiting my family about 2 hours away.  We will come home that evening and go to church and then it'll be bed time.  Our parents are coming to watch the kids open presents on Christmas morning.  After, we will relax at home until we visit Chris's parents for dinner. 

3. Show us a picture of Christmas in the past. Or present.

4. Do you wrap your presents all in one box, or do you like wrap each present separetely?
I wrap everything seperately.  Although I absolutely hate wrapping presents, I love to have a ton of gifts for my kids to open. 

5. Tell us about any special traditions that you or you and your family like to do.

Our traditions are going to church on Christmas eve, watching Elf while putting up the Christmas tree, having Alex, our Elf on the Shelf, visit, going to look at Christmas lights with the kids at least 2-3 times, visiting Santa a few times, and baking cookies to leave out for Santa.  We are always adding new things and this year, we will be celebrating Jesus's birthday with a cake on Christmas day.
