[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 487387, member: 2211"] Our Christmases have changed since the girls are older and have lives of their own, but it's just us most years so we've started a few traditions. Here's a typical Christmas at our house these days: Christmas Eve, big dinner, usually a turkey or ham or roast. I am still the last one to hit the hay so I can put the gifts under the tree for Santa, lol. Oh, and I give both girls their Christmas pajamas that I get them every year! Christmas morning we generally sleep in a bit. H and I get up and he walks the dog, I start the coffee. When easy child gets up, she gets her stocking, comes into our room and goes through, merrily exclaiming how delighted she is with everything! Lol. Then we officially get up, open gifts, and have a late morning brunch, which difficult child and E will join us for. Then we sort of chill out in our jammies, maybe nap or play with our new toys. Mid afternoon, we head to the movies to see a predetermined new release. When we get back home, we nosh on the leftovers. Sounds a bit slow and boring to some, but we really enjoy a low key Christmas Day. I've noticed the theaters are really packing them on Christmas. Used to be empty years ago when we first began going. The one thing I miss is difficult child being here in the morning. She and her boyfriend always discuss sleeping over, but it hasn't happened yet. [/QUOTE]
