It was a typical Christmas Eve, following in traditions of past Christmas Eves. We gathered with the DeMartinis in the morning to open presents, reveal who our Secret Santa was (for the adults), and to eat yummy breakfast, although not in that order. Blythe chose not to join us.
After Christmas preparations, we spent the evening with the Barruses having dinner, doing the nativity, and having our white elephant gift exchange. Blythe did not join us for this party either. There was talk of moving our Barrus gathering to another night as lots of our nieces and nephews have children and would like to be able to do their own thing on Christmas Eve, maybe next year will be different.
It was nice not to have to work at the bank on Christmas Eve and feel like the day was really for festive holiday celebrating.
I took very few pictures.
