The Big Day: Christmas Morning

We do not do anything special on Christmas eve.

Everything happens on Christmas morning.

When we get up, we all gather in the living room.

Somebody reads the Christmas story from Luke.

Then, we exchange gifts.

My parents get each of us three gifts (to go with the three gifts that Jesus received).

Along with these gifts are ones we've bought for each other, or from other family and friends.

Then, we do our stockings. They are full of little things like gum, candy, hair goodies for girls, little games, gloves, etc.

THEN, it's breakfast time. We usually have homemade waffles with whipped cream and strawberries.

The rest of the day is spent visiting, sledding (if there is snow), sharing our new gifts, playing games, and of course, preparing and eating the Christmas dinner.
