Merry Christmas! We had such a great Christmas Eve but today we go to see my family! I gotta admit, I was pretty excited about the trip because I missed Thanksgiving due to my knee surgery. Just like we have our Christmas Eve tradition, we also have our Christmas Day tradition.
On Christmas Day, the kids wake us up and we go see what Santa brought and open other presents. We rush around and get ready so we can make the 2 hour drive to Athens. In Athens, we eat lunch with everybody. Our crowd is twice the amount of people that we eat with on Christmas Eve and we do not have a table nor do we have room for a table that we can all eat at so we eat all over the house. After we eat we open presents. In my family we draw names which seems to work out for the most part. None of us can afford to buy for everyone. My parents buy gifts for everyone and me and my siblings do make some awesome stockings for my parents. We basically buy them tons of presents but put them in one of those giant stockings. They each have one.
After presents we visit and sometimes play board games and then my little family of four packs up for the 2 hour drive home. It is a long day but I look forward to it every year.
