[QUOTE="SRL, post: 328821, member: 701"] Thanks to you all for sharing your Christmas plans. I seriously love to read how other families spend the days, as well as the various holiday traditions. :) It's been more low key than usual with me recovering from surgery. Yesterday was the first day I felt comfortably mobile during the time I was up so that was a relief. All of our Christmas preparations were done before I left for the hospital and it felt so odd these past few days that I finally put the kids to work baking cookies so at least there was something festive happening. It will just be us tonight and we'll prepare some easy appetizers and watch a holiday movie. Tomorrow the kids will go for the stockings first and take them back to their rooms until everyone is up to open gifts. It was a trick I learned from and older mom who said it made the morning so much easier and she was right. I wrap everything to keep them busy and include a book, comic book or magazine to keep them occupied. In the afternoon my husband and kids will head to my inlaws for a big dinner and I'm going to hang here with my mom since I'm not quite up to the trip or long day plus my doctor was strict that I limit possible exposure to H1N1 until my shot kicks in. I'd hoped to order carry-out Mexican food but nothing is open so I'll probably break out a nice roast beef I have made up in the freezer as well as some homemade applesauce, etc. It should be a quiet--and hopefully a nice--holiday.
