Holiday Traditions

It's the Holiday Season .... To avoid disappointment, make all your reservations early: restaurants, taxi, hair salon, nail salon.  

Holiday Traditions are what make the season joyous, how do you and your family celebrate?  

For some Christmas Eve is the main event, with a traditional dinner and opening of gifts at midnight.  For others, it's the dawn frenzy watching the kids unwrap their gifts in their Pj's.  

For my family, we have always savored Christmas Day with early morning stockings, opened with Mum and Dad.  Then everyone gets dressed and the sherry is poured and we exchange gifts from under the tree.  In the background the turkey is cooking and items are popped into the oven on a timeline.  When all the gifts are opened, while kids play, read instructions, assemble gadgets and all the other fun stuff, the finishing touches are made to the dinner and we all enjoy a mid afternoon feast.

The rest of the day is given over to grazing on all the holiday treats, playing games, watching movies, maybe a stroll with the dogs and an early night!
