Usually we spend Christmas Eve at my parents. We have a soup supper and rice pudding before Christmas Eve service at church (Lutheran - with the Silent Night by candlelight, like Army Wife '79). Then, after we get home, we open all our big presents. When my sisters and I were younger, we would put on our Christmas pajamas and either watch whatever movie Santa brought one of us or play games as a family.
This is the first year we're staying home with the kiddos, so we'll have to start building our own new traditions.
