Permalink Reply by Whitney on December 12, 2011 at 9:58am We spend Christmas at home with our two boys so that we may all truly enjoy the day and focus on the true importance of this special holiday. On Christmas Eve the boys will open up one present, new pajamas to sleep in and wait for Santa to arrive, and we will make peppermint milkshakes to enjoy by the fire.

We are a homeschool family so we are studying the meaning of the holidays and how the holidays are celebrated around the world. This year we are also celebrating Hanukkah as well as Christmas. Christmas Day will be so busy going to family's homes that I wanted to spread out the holiday for my boys and teach them to trust in God even when the situation looks impossible.

My entire family being together is... Of course, the kids LOVE the presents portion of it all lol. Good food, wonderful people that I love and a day of relaxation is the epitome of the perfect Christmas day and I get that this year, thanks to moving back closer to my relatives.
Christmas Eve Mass with my husband and boys. Followed by some Christmas Eve Dinner - Pizza and Garlic Bread from a local Italian Restaurant. And on Christmas Day we will get up and spend the morning at our house. In the afternoon we'll head out to my sister's where we will also meet up with my parents and grandpa.

Since Mom is the one who hosts our family dinner, it's up to the three of us siblings to do it this year! We'll be meeting at my brother's and having dinner, which my nephew has decided he is going to take charge of. Should be interesting! I always bake the desserts and I'll still do that as well. Happy Holidays!

Permalink Reply by Kimberly Young on December 12, 2011 at 11:47am This will be my first holiday celebrating as a mom, so this year is all about the baby! The way i look at things is completely different now, from day to day life, to holidays. Everything we are doing for the holidays we are hoping to make into traditions and continue on each year. From putting up our tree, to baking cookies for Santa as a family, to opening gifts on Christmas morning. I'm still looking for that perfect recipe for what i can make for our first Christmas morning breakfast!
