The reason Christmas is so much fun. To see the excitement in their faces and the fun they have with each other makes the holidays so wonderful.

Christmas Eve is spent at my sister, Janine's home. We usually go to Christmas Eve service and then come to her home for the evening. We have a wonderful dinner with too much food and then we have the silly gift exchange. We each bring a silly Christmas gift and we do a fun game. This year we had toilet paper decorated as a snowman and a Santa toilet cover among other items. It is a fun way to start the evening.

We then unwrap gifts from Janine's family and from Lauren and I. The Santa gifts and the rest of the family gifts are given the on Christmas day.

Lauren got some great gifts. She got me some wonderful items including a snugglie. Of course she wanted to use it as they drink hot cocoa outside by the fire.
