Christmas Eve is the night before the big day. Do you have any special traditions in your family ? 

In years past we have attended Midnight church or Mass as we waited for Christmas to come. When there was small kids in the house – we have spent the night assembling together toys and setting the gifts for Christmas morning. But before bed make sure Satan eats his cookies we made and left for him as well as reindeer food. Lisa
