Christmas plans
Christmas plans
Well, the title kinda speaks for itself. What is everyone doing for Christmas? What are some of your traditions? I am going to stay home this year with my family. One tradition we enjoy going every year is all of us kids (some of us are not kids anymore my oldest brother is 26) sleeping the hallway between all of our rooms.
I would say our plans vary from year to year. Though we always set up a tree and leave gifts underneath. 
In the case of traditions, I grew up expected to give gifts to those in my life. When I was younger, my parents would provide the cash and my siblings and I would exchange gifts to one another. It wasn't until the wrapping paper was torn when confessions were made. I absolutely loved that.
We also bickered terribly decorating the tree, and...still do I suppose. What we have is a few dozen baby related ornaments and my parent's darling old ones. It's a bit sad actually, there is not room for all ornaments...
Oh! And on Christmas Eve we watch The Polar Express together and drink cocoa. It's been an official tradition for at least a decade.

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us - Romans 8:18
