You must have a really big family if this is tradition
Merry Christmas to all my fellow Christmas Eve celebrators!
The rice porridge breakfast was good and now I'm tackling the riddle/treasure hunt J made me to get my Christmas present. I suppose this has become a tradition, too.
ETA: Oh no, I was doing so well until now. Now I'm stuck with hexadecimal math. Again! I got stuck with hexadecimals last year or the year before too. I really have to learn this stuff.
ETA again: I did it! I solved it all and found my presents. A new Global G2 and Human Resource Machine. I don't know which one I love more!
We used to pester my Mom and Dad to open a present on Christmas eve. They would make a show of finally giving in after we suffered for a good while. For various reasons we are not doing presents this year and I have spent all day remembering the past Holidays.
I am doing a turkey tomorrow but I think I will brine it instead of stuffing it for a change. ..I'll still have cranberry jelly though yum!
Wishing everyone a wonderful day tomorrow and hope it is filled with love and laughter and big food bellies!
) past, all of the aspects of what makes it a holiday for you personally, is what tradition is all about
Wanna come here and do the same?
) is to make nothing but appetizers the entire day. Spicy spinach artichoke dip, sausage stuffed mushrooms, mini quiches, cheese dip, guacamole, pigs in blankets, meatballs, cheese crackers, whatever my friends concoct and bring, and champagne, champagne, champagne. I love this day! 
Wassailing is fun. We do it naked ( we wear boots...its usually cold this time of year and cold feet outside can be miserable). Then we say a wassailing rhyme and lollop around the trees offering them the cider, then run in and get warm. It just doesn't seem so fun tonight.
