We spent the morning on food prep/work and after lunch watched my favorite, Its A Wonderful Life, before getting ready to head out to our church's candlelight service. We enjoyed Christmas Eve Soup for supper before the kids got to open one gift. Both of them chose what they determined was their "read" gift and thought that was a great choice for the night.
The word I'm using when people ask about our Christmas is "low-key". We had a leisurely day that began at 6 am (because even our teenagers want to get up early on Christmas morning) opening gifts. The kids enjoyed their gifts, we had a late lunch of brisket and favorite holiday sides. We facetimed both families and ended the day watching White Christmas. So thankful for the cozy, relaxing day together.

Merry Christmas!
