What are your Christmas Eve traditions?

[DisneyGirl421]

We always have Christmas Eve at my house. My mom, dad, sister, aunt, grandmom, and grandpop. My mom cooks ham (normally, sometimes its turkey or a fillet), and my grandpop brings the Italian antipasti (prosciutto, salami, peppers, mozzerella, bread). Then we have cannoli and apple pie for dessert.
And, as, always, wine. Two bottles of red, and two bottles of white.

After dinner, my sister and I change into our pajamas, and settle in the tv room by the fire, and watch Christmas Eve on Sesame Street. It may seem odd that a 21 year old and a 25 year old watch Sesame Street, but it's been our tradition since before I can remember!

We go to my maternal grandparents and open gifts/have a wonderful dinner...then we go to the Christmas Eve service at church and then we go into the city to see the tree in Rockefeller plaza! Usually there are carolers singing around it--truly magical!

Christmas eve at our house is pretty low key. We don't do a whole lot.

Sometimes we go and get last minute gifts (if you can believe that!), and get everything ready for the next day.

We will go to church, and then home for appitizers, a bowl of soup and then jammies, ect! It's awesome.

This year though, I will be at dbf's family's party! I will meet more of his extended family.
They are dying to meet me apparently.

It'll definitely be a fun day.

Feast of the seven fishes for Christmas eve! My mom has been doing this since I was a little girl, and now my kids get to enjoy this special Italian tradition too! We have a great big dinner them my uncle plays Santa (suit and all) and hands out the gifts. It's always been my favorite night of the year. Christmas day is anticlimactic!
