we're busy as elves. Hanging stockings by the fireplace, nibbling cookies and playing games with the family. It's when I'm most aware of how lucky I am to be from a big family that loves each other unconditionally. Mom sits in her chair soaking up the sight of her children, grand children, great grandchildren and one great great grand child. It's noisy and chaotic as we laugh and kid each other. As the night winds down we coax the kids to bed, later than normal, and overfill the stockings for our traditional Christmas Eve morning party. This is what we have labled as our Christmas Eve-eve. It's my favorite day of the year.
