We have always celebrated Christmas Eve with my one set of grandparents (my mom's dad and his wife), because this was also my aunt's birthday! Over the past five years, we have done a homemade gift exchange on Christmas Eve where we pick names and make another family member something homemade! This year I got my dad! I am so excited! My immediate family (mom, dad, sister and I) all go to church together on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day, we start off by waking up and opening our stockings, and then proceed to give each other presents! We then either drive down to Maryland with my grandma (Mom's mom) to see my dad's family, or they come to us! This year, everyone is coming to us! We will have family from South Carolina, New York, Maryland, and Virginia staying with us!  I am super excited, not only because I haven't seen them since I've been home from Costa Rica, but also because we are going to have one GIANT Gallagher family sleepover. I think there will be 15 people at my house :) 

I celebrate Christmas over this holiday break. For me, Christmas is a time of FAITH, FAMILY, LOVE, and FOOD! ]]> 2016-12-20 14:44:00 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahgallagher/diasdefiesta2/wish/144468310
