Day 347 – Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!! It really is the MOST wonderful time of the year!!

I started my day bright and early, enjoying a catered Christmas breakfast with friends and co-workers and exchanged gifts and enjoyed the company of many wonderful people for my morning. Later in the afternoon, the family and I headed into Massachusetts to have Christmas Eve with our family. The family, friends and food were perfection. I love to hear the stories from yester-year, laugh and talk with everyone. Elijah did some card tricks for everyone and was a huge hit! Brian and Micah also mingled in and because it was so unbelievably and unseasonably warm out (65 degrees) we were able to hang outside on the deck as well as inside.
There is a fun tradition here that we got in on this year as well. Everyone pitches in $20 and is able to pick from the bowl of either one $20 or any combination of $5 and over cards that equal up to $20 in scratcher lottery tickets. Then everyone’s name is picked one at a time and they choose. Once everyone has their cards, we counted down 3,2,1 GO!! And everyone scratched. Vinny and I won $20 which was cool- maybe next year we’ll hit the millions- lol.

Anyhow, this was another awesome Christmas Eve. My family is together and I am taking the time to say a prayer of thanks. I sincerely hope this holiday season finds all of you, my readers, in good health, together with family and friends and full of the Christmas spirit. #Cheers #HGAL
