When we were kids it was usually a new pair of PJ's. Then my sister and I would sleep under the Christmas Tree that night. We always have the same casserole for breakfast on Christmas morning. <BR/>Naturally things have changed a bit now that I'm married and grown.

On Christmas Eve they use lots of candles, dim the lights, decorate with poinsettas everywhere. It is a lovely way to celebrate Christmas.Not Your Aunt Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170586207423260492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6165687761287479088.post-42651417469541061702008-09-19T11:41:00.000-04:002008-09-19T11:41:00.000-04:00Last year my husband and I spent months gathering ...Last year my husband and I spent months gathering christmas music from different CDs and we made what we consider the perfect compilation of music - we both love some christmas music but get really annoyed with the radio's rotation of it, so we found a great happy medium. I look forward to pulling out that CD again this year and maybe adding to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
