It’s the most wonderful time of the year..

I can’t believe Christmas is next week! It always sneaks up on us despite those crazy countdowns people post repost on Facebook in July. I may or may not have posted them before.
As much fun at the Christmas season is as a child, nothing beats being a parent and seeing your own kids experience the magic of the season. There are things my parents did with my brothers and I growing up, that I now do with my own kids.
I thought it would be fun to round some of our favorite Christmas Eve traditions, along with a few others I’d love to try. If you have some now listed here, comment them below and I’ll add them to the list. These can be done in the days before Christmas Eve, too! I think we will get into this list over the weekend!
