So what's everyone doing today?
I am making chocolate macaroons & sugar cookies with Chloe, then around four pm we are going to my mom's care facility to spend Christmas eve with her. I so wish i didn't have stairs right from my front door up to my living room so she could come here. Then its home for all the Santa prep -cookies, story, hanging stockings.

Good morning, Heather! I'm making a list of what I need for Christmas dinner, which we're having here tomorrow with friends and family. I am totally procrastinating going shopping, because I do not want to face the crowds and the parking lots!
 Then I'll put on some Christmas music while I make fudge and bake pies. The weather here is absolutely nuts for December 24; sunny and 56F!!! Enjoy your day!

Both of my boys are home and we just made home made gnocchi...a Christmas Eve tradition in our house! Having a fairly early dinner and then going to our friend's home for dessert, as they are celebrating Hanukkah.

going crazy! No, not really. I got everything wrapped, cookies are made, all I have to do is hang the stockings and make our dinner for tonight. Mass is at 9, I'm in the choir and I always look forward to that! It's going to be a late night, as I have to get all the presents out after we get back and fill all the stockings and Christmas plates
 I love it though!

I cooked all day while listening to Christmas music. We'll be with one son and family tonight and another son and family tomorrow. I'm feeling ready and relaxed and blessed.
Heather, this will be the first Christmas in several years that we have not had a parent to visit on Christmas Eve. My mil died in November. I, too, always felt bad that our house was not wheel chair accessible. You have to do what you can...you're a good daughter.
