Christmas is always our favorite time of year -- we have a break from school and work and we get to spend time with our families.
Each year, we celebrate Lille Julaften (or Christmas Eve eve) with my parents on the 23rd. The food varies but this year, we had brisket and BBQ fixings and it was such a hit that we'll probably repeat the meal again next year.
Cordial cherries for Grampa
Will got Eldritch Horror, a game he had been talking about for months.
Henry got the Keeper of the Lost Cities series.
Wine stopper for Gramma and Grampa
And the annual photo book -- truly a miracle they got finished this year!
Christmas Eve: Will convinced Gene and Henry to play Eldritch Horror
Fancy afternoon coffee
The boys finally learned to tie a tie before Christmas Eve Mass.
After Mass, we ate our traditional codfish dinner at Gene and Nancy's. We even found time to snap a couple of family photos in front of the tree.
Back home, we set out cookies and milk for Santa
and scattered reindeer food on the lawn for his helpers.
And finally, on the evening before Christmas, we all finally felt full of Christmas spirit.
