Merry Christmas Eve followers! I hope each and every one of you are enjoying good times with those you love. After going into town for the annual arrival of Santa my family and I came home for a scrumptious dinner. Which was followed with the opening of all our stocking stuffers. Every year all five of our stockings get hung on the staircase and slowly filled with little fun gifts that we either open one day at a time or all at once on Christmas. But the thing in our household is that in order for us to open stocking stuffers we all need to be present and together. So tonight since it is the night before Christmas and we were all here we got to open all our stuffers. It was just wonderful. Me my brothers and my parents sat in circle by the fireplace with the the pups in the middle and we took turns opening our goodies. And my mamma even let us open one of our big presents that are saved for Christmas morning. Thanks to the early gift opening I am now blogging with amazing new hand knitted slippers leg warmers and hobo mittens. But tonight was just such a wonderful holiday moment. Great times with the whole family is all that I could ask for. As I've mentioned in my earlier blog about the holidays, my Swiss stepdad acts like a big old Grinch around this time of year so he has yet another reason to knock on Americans. Secretly inside he enjoys it, I know it. But he got the best stocking stuffer this year, this lovely hat found it's way in there. It says "Bah Humbug". The classic anti-Christmas slogan. It was the perfect gag gift and we all got a laugh. He was even a great sport and wore the hat for a bit while he scratched off a lotto ticket he also received. Which he ended up winning $30. I think that might have lifted his holiday spirits a bit. I'm just glad to be surrounded by love and family this holiday season. And I hope nothing but the same and more to everyone else. Rest up y'all, Santa comes in a few hours!
