christmas eve.

Christmas Eve is the big one in our house. All of our traditions, all of our anticipation and so many of my favorite memories are wrapped up in this day. After 24 years of celebrations, I remember giggling with Robbie in church, racing lobsters, wearing fancy dresses and velvet hair bows above and beyond any gift I opened from Santa (and later Mom and Dad). Oh how I love Christmas Eve.

Peace
No matter when and what you celebrate, I wish you peace and joy. Thank you for your kind thoughts and comments throughout the last year.

    Yes, it’s all about Christmas Eve for us too! Love it! Lots of warm and gleeful memories. Mostly it’s the anticipation. Thanks for sharing. I’m looking forward to 2010, especially as I just got one of your cloth journals as well as the ‘Make Your Own 2010 Planner’. Thanks!! Sometime in 2010 I will post about it with photos at http://www.lettersandjournals.blogspot.com

    Sounds like wonderful memories. What do you mean racing lobsters? Are these wind up toys? Merry Christmas!
