M and I have a tradition of starting our festivities off on Christmas Eve by a trip to Temple Square to see the lights and the nativity. And, of course, we always get hot chocolate to keep us warm!
I love how intricately they wrap every tree with a billion lights. It makes Temple Square SO beautiful and is the perfect way to get in the spirit of the holiday while feeling the Spirit and remembering what Christmas is truly all about!
Our next tradition is to wear our new pajamas! And we open a special present under the tree – a new board game. This year, our new game is Last Word. It’s super fun! Then we lay out our stockings so that Santa can bring us our surprises!
The next morning, we came out to the living room to discover our fun presents! We start by scoping out everything from Santa before we begin opening the presents under the tree from each other.
Another important tradition is our Christmas breakfast of crepes. M taught me how delicious they are with lemon juice and a little bit of sugar. This year, I experimented with lime juice instead – and it’s even better! Yum!
And then finally that leaves us with our traditional Christmas photo. We took some nice, proper ones. But this dorky, not-so-proper one made me smile. Merry Christmas!
