Christmas Eve Traditions

I never really thought that we had a lot of family traditions, until I looked at all that we HAD to get accomplished today. . . .

We HAD to go ice skating at The Chiller, because we always do.

 

We HAD to go out to lunch afterwards (actually it was a bribe to get the older boys out of bed).

We HAD to go see Santa; although we wish we hadn't had to wait in line for 1 1/2 hours.

We HAD to have Christmas pasta for dinner.  Yummm.

We HAD to go to 8 pm Mass.  Then we HAD to spread our reindeer dust in the front yard afterwards.  It even snowed!

We HAD to have Christmas stories read to us until we fell asleep.

Merry Christmas!!  Yea for traditions!
