Christmas Eve! It’s hard to believe that another year has flown by! We worked hard today to clean the house and get ready for our annual Christmas Eve party. It was sleeting most of the day and the trees were all covered with ice! What a crazy bunch of weather!
This afternoon we went over to the Oscarson’s house for dinner. We had a great spread of amazing prime rib, potatoes, salad, vegetables, layered jell-o, and awesome rolls! After dinner, we went out caroling to 7 families. It was cold and rainy, but we had a wonderful time! The families we visited, sang to, and gave treats to very much appreciated our efforts! 🙂
After caroling, we went back to our house and had hot wassail, acted out the nativity, and had dessert. This is something our family has done for years, and this is the 3rd year we have done it with the Oscarson’s. We all dress up in costumes and act out the birth of Christ. It is humorous at times, but we all feel the spirit of the season.
For dessert, we had white chocolate peppermint cheesecake, chocolate turtle cheesecake, pecan pie, cookies, mints, wassail, and other candies. We ate until we were stuffed and then talked for awhile. It is so much fun to have this activity with friends.
After the kids put out reindeer food for Santa’s reindeer, we all went to bed, very excited about what Christmas morning would bring! 🙂
