A few years ago, we decided not to travel on Christmas Day anymore with our kids. We wanted them to wake up in their own house on Christmas morning. That means that we had to make new Christmas Eve traditions. We still go to church and have MeMo's hot ham and cheese sandwiches and side dishes. But, new traditions have been added.
When we started our new traditions, we started the Christmas Eve box. The kids get new PJs and a Christmas movie.
This year, the pajamas were ones that the kids got to color themselves.
Sadly, Nanny was sick, but Papa H came for dinner. Cohan loved playing chess with him.
And what Christmas Eve dinner would be complete without singing Happy Birthday to Baby Jesus. We improvised with the only candles we had. :)
A new tradition we added this year was riding in our pajamas to look at a few Christmas lights. Our plan worked perfectly and the kids both fell asleep on the way home...
Then we caught a picture of Santa delivering presents that night...
