I apologize for my uninteresting layout! I fail at that! If someone wants to spice it up, please do!

My family celebrates Christmas and Three Kings Day (since we lived in Puerto Rico). Traditions include going to extended family's houses on Christmas evening and exchange gifts and have dessert.
On Christmas Day we wake up, open stocking and my Mom makes a yummy breakfast. After breakfast we clean up, and open gifts. I like to pass out all of the gifts to people. 3nodding Then we have free rein until we get dressed and washed up for visiting.
I guess Christmas is going to be very different this year...

My Christmas tradition changed 5 years ago when I started dating my current boyfriend.
We buy our Chirstmas tree about two weeks before Christmas and I decorate it. (he helps by pointing out where there needs to be more or fewer ornaments lol) This year I put up garlands in the living room to make if feel more festive!
We spend Christmas eve at his Uncle's house. His mom's side of the family (that lives in the area) come and we have a huge dinner. Uncle Mike makes lasagna for dinner and we all talk and eat. Then we all exchange gifts with each other. Usually Brendan and I get our gifts from his parents that night.
Then I go to church with my parents (because I love Christmas music so!). On Christmas morning Brendan and I visit both our parents' houses. My mom usually makes something delicious for breakfast. Sticky buns or apples snake or something equally delicious! We open presents with them then go to his parents' house. This year we're saving a gift for his mom to open when we're there on Christmas day. It's a pretty epic gift. (His mom is going to Ireland and she's never been out of the country. She's worried about having money for the trip so we and his sisters are chipping in money to give her a shoebox with $200 in one dollar bills).
