It's summer here at Christmas...so it's a big seafood Christmas lunch, maybe cricket on the beach in the late afternoon.

Don't have a set tradition as such. This year if weather permits will be a BBQ and plenty of booze.

We attend midnight mass with our four sons after opening gifts together. We always have a birthday cake Christmas eve to celebrate the birth of Jesus. We started this when they were very young and they still enjoy it now at 23,21,16, and 14. It is just a way to unite us in celebration. Hugs

All the typical corny stuff...I spend all day for days in the kitchen, but it all turns out worth it.

Shelly, thank you for mentioning the birthday cake. I did that when my children were small. I think I will bring that one back this year for the grandchildren. :)

I read A Christmas Carol, The Cricket and the Hearth and The Chimes every year. I also buy myself a lot of Marzipan Chocolates from Germany.

My husband loves to cook, he usually makes Duck La Rongue', turkey with oyster stuffing, and apple cider and hot cocoa with a little splash of spirits ___

Christmas Eve we have snacks at my parents house and open gifts..My brother/niece and nephew all come in from Dallas and we visit until all hours. Christmas Day is the big dinner..turkey and all the trimmings. I've been helping my Mom bake/cook this week. She makes all kinds of candy/breads, etc. So much fun to be in the kitchen with her. :)

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
