Twas' the night before Christmas.....the stockings are hung and filled; the kids (and husband) are tucked snugly into bed in their new Christmas jammies after our annual reading of "The Night Before Christmas." The puppy is snoozing in front of the lit tree. We have arrived home from the extended family parties, glad to be home for the next week. Last minutes presents and groceries purchased. We have enjoyed our traditional Christmas Eve floor picnic of our favorite appetizers--clams, shrimp, artichoke crab dip with bread, fried mozerella, bacon-wrapped chestnuts. We have told the Christmas story to keep us focused on Jesus. We have had our annual birthday party for Jesus, complete with singing and a birthday cake with candles. We have upwrapped our Christmas stacks (a new tradition this year) and the kids have snapped many photos with their new cameras. All is quiet. Ruby is snoozing at my feet. Just a few more gifts to wrap. A sappy Christmas movie on the TV. Merry Christmas Eve to All.....keep your eyes on Jesus, the One whom we celebrate. Lots of photos to come after all the festivities.....
