What do you love about Christmas?
There is so much to love about Christmas. I love the excitement of Christmas Eve; the family sits around visiting, each with a hot drink and we open one present. I love pumpkin pie and turkey gravy.
ReplyDeleteBelle: Thanks for sharing. I think I enjoy Christmas Eve more than Christmas day because of the anticipation and reflecting on the birth of Jesus that Holy Night.
