Christmas Eve is HERE!!! This is be far my favorite day. I love Christmas day but I
LOVE Christmas Eve. It is so warm and cozy the tree is glowing, everyone is so excited. I think Christmas Eve creates that feeling that we talk about. And I love everything about it. Christmas Eve day is always busy, we have dinner in our home and it is always something fun, usually prime rib, rolls, salad, our favorite holiday punch, and then always a really fun dessert. We have done lava cake, creme brulee, and this year my version of tirimisu. We always have Troys family with us and then occasionally we have invited others over. This year it was just Troys family so it was a fairly small event. After dinner we had a program planned by the kids showcasing their talents. And of course Christmas carols. It was a truly magical evening. We made reindeer donuts instead of cookies for Santa and played a game of Ticket to Ride as a family. Of course we read the Polar Express and our love notes that we wrote each other. This year we tracked Santa on the Internet until he reached Salt Lake City and that pretty much solidified that Cambelle needed to get to sleep. It has been a beautiful month. I have loved sharing our countdown journey. It's been busy but always worth it. It seems a little crazy that tomorrow it will be over for another year. As the kids unwrapped the presents that they bought each other as cousins, I was so incredibly content. It truly has been a beautiful Christmas season.

Santa symbolizes the happy, loving and giving Christ. His suit is red symbolizing the blood he shed for the atonement. He is trimmed in white symbolizing his purity. By his very nature Santa is unselfish, laboring all the time to give his gifts. His gifts are given personally to every home and to every person.
