A Christmas Eve Tradition

12 / 24 / 1211 / 7 / 13

Christmas Eve was always special for me growing up.  We usually spent it at my Grandma and Grandpa Routhier’s house with all of our cousins and did Christmas dinner, mass, and our big gift exchange that very same night.  It was the one night of the year when my brother and I got to stay up as late as we wanted and eat all the treats (including pop – gasp!) without having to ask our mom first. I don’t know whether it’s true or not, but we always said that we celebrated on Christmas Eve because we were French.

While Brad’s family does the classic Christmas Day celebration, we’ve held onto a tiny piece of my childhood Christmas Eve tradition with a little gift opening for Miss G on the night of the 24th.  Each year, she gets two small gifts to open – one a new pair of Christmas jammies, and the second, a special Christmas book to add to her collection.

Tonight Grae opened candy cane-striped footie jammies (her favourite) and a hardcover copy of  A Porcupine in a Pine Tree: A Canadian 12 Days of Christmas under the glow of the Christmas tree.  After a warm bubble bath, we read her new book as a family and tucked our little candycane-striped girl into bed for the evening.
