Christmas Eve

What do YOU do on Christmas Eve?

Everyone seems to have different traditions and we are no different, though our traditions have changed over the years.
We love to have our feast on Christmas Eve and we mostly stick to that.
Another tradition is to watch A Muppet Christmas Carol.

We love the music and the story. We giggle the whole way through it. But we don't always do that. And that is true for this year too.
Another tradition (but it hasn't always been this way) is to prepare our brooms

and head down to the church to meet up with some other families to play broomball. And that is exactly what we did this year.

Allie was excited about the prospect and was patiently waiting in the car for the others to show up.

We got tired of waiting and went in to warm up. Since ice hockey is not happening for Paul right now, this is the best substitute for him.

As you can see, the brooms vary, but the enthusiasm does not!

We opted to divide the teams by over 40 and under 40. The camera woman for this shot was definitely under 40 so the teams were a bit lopsided. (5 vs 6 1/2 which included one pregnant-but-in-shape woman) The older crowd needed rest breaks! We all had fun and it was fairly even.
Some people were not tired by the end so a basketball game broke out.

We went home exhausted and had a good sleep on Christmas Eve night. We hope you were able to enjoy your traditions too.
