I am done working for the day, it is the eve of Christmas Eve. I have started my Holiday. Irish Hannukah, tonight the exchanging of gifts begins with friends close to home. Gifts will be exchanged every day until Sunday now.
The Stockings are all hung, and filled, with love and care, full of underwear and socks and all the things you need, but hate to get for Christmas. The Stocking in our house holds toothbrushes, and flashlights, ice scrapers and gloves. NO one runs out there to get them, they all know what is in there.

Tomorrow is our gift exchange, the husband and I, Christmas Eve, just the 2 of us. I don't work right now, too sick, so I opened all of my gifts already! HA! Worst Child in the house ME!!! Played with the new Wii Games I got, and am sure hubby is hiding the pajamas he gets me every year, so that I am surprised by one gift.
My kids are in their 30's now, the only real Christmas is for the 5 year old Grandson, who made me SWEAR to have cookies. I baked a ton of them, OOPS I mean Giant Baked a ton of them. I will place a half eaten one with a half drank glass of milk out setting the stage.
The Tree is trimmed, his gifts all wrapped, he won't come until Christmas night, so I don't have to hide them. Santa Will be in bed by the time he gets here to open his gifts, the milk and cookies will still be out though, I promised.
On Saturday we start the Trek for Irish Hannukah, To Parents and Children houses who can not travel this year. Mother in law and Father in law are too sick, Daughter in law is 36 weeks, so we will see them on the weekend.
