Loving all the traditions. Things sure have changed for me in the past five years. The youngest got married and two are far away. Looking like they both might be home for Christmas.
On Christmas Eve I used to make either shrimp scampi or quiche. Both very easy. Just the kids, whoever lived here.
We’d either have turkey, ham, or my lasagna next day.
Now having in-laws and their family peculiarities has changed things a lot, sometimes it’s at my one son’s and his family’s. Or here. Nothing is like it used to be and in the last three years I almost wish I was on a cruise or some place where it wasn’t all…Christmassy.
In Maryland…Sometimes we’d look at old slides from my LH’s family. Sometimes we’d go to our church visitor center in Kensington, Maryland. It was beautiful!
Caroling to people we know to drop off a plate of cookies.
When the kids were little I was usually up until 2 AM, wrapping and putting things together and had the Pope on for background noise.
