White Christmas

 

 

Christmas Eve is a day filled with anticipation. The anticipation of snow on Christmas Day and the beginning of time spent with family. The shopping, wrapping and baking are done and it is time to just enjoy being together, gathered around the lights of the Christmas tree. Those special presents will be opened and the smiles will make all the preparation worthwhile.

We will begin our Christmas Eve with a family brunch and will enjoy a traditional menu and even some mimosas to begin the day. We will attend mass later tonight and then spend a quiet evening opening some gifts, relaxing and watching some Christmas movies together. It will be the best kind of night with the snow outside, sparkling in the Christmas lights, and softly falling, while inside we are cozy and warm by the fire.

Enjoy this family time and the happiest of holidays to you all!
