Christmas Eve Gift!!! Oh, I bet you have no idea what that means? LOL So, when my Granny Patton was very young, she and her brother and sisters used to play a game on Christmas Eve. They would try to be the first to say "Christmas Eve Gift" to each other and "get" as many people as possible. The tradition continued when she got married and taught the game to her in laws and later to her children, including my father. Now all my cousins, their spouses and children and all my brothers and sisters play Christmas Eve Gift every year. We have gotten quite creative and competitive with one older cousin of mine...he and my mother get kinda nuts about it LOL. I look forward to teaching my children and helping them "get" Nana and Totty (my mom and dad :) ) This Christmas visit to my parents' house has been so lovely. I guess being away from home has really made me appreciate how warm and comfortable home is. I am so excited to do the traditional gingerbread house with my nephew. We have done this for four years now and I love it. I am so glad to have these great family traditions that I can one day share with my own children. Hope you are enjoying your Christmas season! May the Lord Bless you! :)
