Christmas Eve!!

Tonight's the night! If you celebrate Christmas in any way, shape, or form then you'd better get ready for Santa and presents!! Even if you don't celebrate the religious aspect of this holiday, you can at least appreciate the decorations and lights. :)

Everyone celebrates Christmas a little differently. So if you'd like, share your traditions in the comments!! My family is mostly German, so we have our own set of traditions mixed in with some German ones. We used to open our presents on Christmas Eve, but nowadays we wait for Santa and open them on Christmas morning. We have a big dinner and lots of sweets like clementines, pies, candy canes, egg nog... and Mom's favorite Pfeffernüsse cookies!! We hang stockings and put up Christmas trees the day after Thanksgiving. Our presents are already under the tree. Santa's will come tomorrow!! We eat a big Christmas dinner around noon on Christmas day and leave our decorations up until New Years.

For fun, here's a link to a site to look up traditions from around the world! Christmas Around the World
