My side of the family meets my brother and his son and my parents and we all go to candle light service at church, then we head to Red Lobster.  We have eaten at Red Lobster every year since I was five for Christmas Eve.  (And I don't like sea food! )   Then we head back to my parents house and everyone opens gifts.

I watch the movie Home Alone on Christmas Eve no matter how late it is when we get home

After waking to the joy of presents, my children and I turn on the Christmas Story and place the perfectly seared roast in the oven with a sprig of rosemary while making the milk punch.

Every year my mom, her closest friends, and my closest friends meet up in Houston and attend a Christmas performance.  A few of my favorites have been Trans Siberian Orchestra and Cirque de Soleil. This picture is from Shen Yung last year (which I was not impressed with).

We take a picture in front of this tree in Market Square every year. It is neat to see the changes from year to year.

We do a version of a White Elephant gift exchange where I read a funny story and every time a particular word is read, we pass the gift either left or right. The kids really get into it!

The family camps together - this year Blanco State Park.  Lots of good quality time together! Kayaking, looking at lights, chilling at the campfire.

The kids decorate their own mini tree with mini ornaments that they picked out.  New tradition we started this year was to draw a name of one family member that you get a gift for! Kiddos are super excited about this one!!!

Watching kids open presents and remembering when you got all those presents and feeling a bit jealous at their excitement. Forget that, putting the Elf away and the stress that comes with that guy tops the list.

The decorations make the holiday special; sharing the memories from each Christmas.
