I love Christmas starting with Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving in the States is such a huge holiday, I love cooking and having family over for a big dinner, and watching football. We usually go home to Canada for Christmas and spend several days with my family and extended family. Good eats, lots of good drinks, and fantastic memories. My mom and dad always made a huge deal over Christmas and I am so appreciative of the memories I have, and the ones I am sure to have.
We focus the gift giving on the kids. Our present as adults is always time spent together, and my parents go all out with entertaining. However, it sure is fun to watch the kids tear open their gifts on Christmas morning (and then go back to bed for awhile to recover from Christmas Eve), only to do it all over again Christmas night! I hope it snows this year!
