christmas eve

I remember my very first Christmas as a single mom. Faith was 3 years old. I was quite nervous about how I was going to make this all work. It's a lot of work for any family to make sure all the presents are wrapped. Cookies and milk are set out for Santa. If you are extra on the ball you will leave carrots for the reindeer too.

This is a Christmas Eve tradition that my daughter and I started many years ago. We use to go to Midnight Mass and then would be hungry so food it needed to be. Even so late on a Christmas Eve.

No doubt it takes some special holiday magic for him to visit the whole world. But do you realize just what goes into him hitting every house in the world?

When it comes to opening Christmas presents, when do you open them?
