Christmas, Part 2

When I was a kid, we always begged mom and dad to let us open presents on "Christmas Eve", which wasn't really Christmas Eve because we always did Christmas a couple days early because of travel to Grandmas' houses.  Anyway, sometimes they'd let us open just one, and sometimes they wouldn't.

So, when Chris and I got married, we started a "tradition."  (mostly because HE always wanted to give me my presents early...and I wanted to wait till Christmas day to open them...)  We started opening one present on Christmas Eve.

**aside** When we were dating, Chris' mom told me that his favorite presents at Christmas were always new socks and underwear.  Strange, I know, but so true.  So true.  That guy would get all kinds of excited about new socks and underwear.  SO...back to the story...

Chris always opened his new socks and underwear on Christmas Eve and I always opened new pajamas.  And when Jackson was born, we started getting him "Christmas Eve" pajamas as well.

So, the kids opened their "Christmas Eve" pajamas right before bed on Thursday night:
