Plus, who wants to haul Santa's gifts all over creation.<br /><br />Found this awesome link, I've shared it a few times on twitter, for advent activities that focus on helping others.

I put my foot down on that theory this year, so now everyone will come to us. And that's how it should be! I can't wait to start Elf on the Shelf next year as well! I think J may still be a little too young to get it by next year, but I'm dying to do it.

Next year we will have to change that! I have refused to go anywhere Christmas day as well. Everyone comes over to our house for brunch in the morning and then I make Christmas dinner for my dad and sister. I haven't yet decided if we are going to open presents before all the extended family get there Christmas morning or not yet...we shall see.

As kids we spent Christmas Eve w/ my mothers side of the family, woke up, father took picture of my sisters and I in our Christmas jammies (as we got older we would get in trouble when we were too tired to smile), and we would have a huge breakfast and Christmas dinner.<br />Now that everyone is married w/ kids it's a little busier...<br />Christmas eve we go to Mass (this year we will attend in Arlington, VA since we can walk to my sisters church, spend Christmas eve w/ moms side @ my sisters. Christmas morning will be here with the kids (my favorite part of Christmas and seeing the excited faces)....We usually go to my sisters to open gifts w/ her kids and have a big breakfast...come home...relax a bit and then visit my in laws for a big dinner. <br />I'm usually exhausted by 12/26...but I love it!!!<br /><br />Hope you all have a very very Merry Christmas!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
