Christmas Eve-2024

It was a relaxed Christmas Eve Day and Eve. Everyone had the day off, so we could cook, play, read, relax, as we chose.

Monkey and Buds got in a little Starcraft together.

Harkening back to my childhood family traditions, I bought a can of black olives because that is what the veggie trays of my childhood always held. George and I always tried to get them eaten before anyone else could.

After Advent, we opened our one Christmas Eve present. The kids and I opened our annual pajamas, Buds opened a gift from Renee and Vic.

After presents, food prep began in earnest.

Food prepared, glasses filled, we gathered around the table for conversation and deliciousness. (This meal topped our Thanksgiving one by a mile!)

Then Monkey and I got in a Christmas movie.

A magical, snowy Christmas Eve.
