Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas eve! Tonight if you're like me you'll be out and about frolicking from family home to family home! Eating hams and cookies galore and drinking your weight in eggnog and hot cocoa, the sweet nectar of the kings! May the children laugh and play and may the adults chuckle and rejoice in the chaotic disastrous fun that can only be had when all the members of your large family are together!
Let grandma get into that bottle of Blue Nun early and may it turn into the "black Nun" (inside joke); let aunt Cheri get a little wilder than she normally lets herself be, may aunt Carolyn get wild and start dancing like a spaz, the uncles and your step father and grandpa will turn into a bull pen of men who tell stories of old and drink like warriors! Your wife will become the life of the party after a few drinks of wine and cheer, the traditional game of charades and newly-weds will get uproarious with laughter as the men struggle to remember tidbits about their spouses!
As we laugh and eat and cheer with our cups of cocoa, wine and eggnog let us be thankful for all of our blessings and the time we get with our families, for they're are always special and let us be ready for the big man in red to come a bustling with gifts for all! I still believe for one, the Christmas spirit is not elusive, it lives in all of us, let us remember the whole year through!! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!!
