(Christmas Eve night.) While stuffing ourselves full of yummy treats that my mom spends all day making. <br /><br />Christmas day we have the extended family over and eat lots and lots of yummy food. It's the same menu every year. Cheesy potatoes, green bean casserole, pretzel salad, roasted veggies and a filet to DIE for in a marinade I could drink! <br /><br />All in all it's a fun and splendid time!squeakygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00433414315694026369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670931291765977850.post-65216525129291675962011-11-30T04:46:57.012-08:002011-11-30T04:46:57.012-08:00For as many years as I can remember, we would alwa...For as many years as I can remember, we would always stop at my neighbor's house on Christmas Eve to exchange a gift. Then we would travel a short distance to my dad's side of the family for dinner, etc. Christmas Day is always celebrated w/ my Mom's side of the family. Mid-day home-cooked meal, then gift exchange around the xmas tree. After all the hoopla has settled down we enjoy delicious desserts and sometimes play cards together. There is so much family time during the Holidays, I'm kinda sad when it's over :(Wendynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670931291765977850.post-79240361654386018472011-11-29T20:13:25.787-08:002011-11-29T20:13:25.787-08:00My favorite family tradition is sitting around my ...My favorite family tradition is sitting around my grandma's living room and playing Santa, distributing all of the gifts from under the tree.
