Let's see... Christmas lights outside, and although they were put up in mid-November (while it was still warm), they were not allowed on until after Thanksgiving. Tree's already up (and Stormy, one year we decorated the tree with just ribbon tied into bows, knowing that the kids couldn't break those accidentally).

Come Christmas eve, we'll have a fondue (steak, shrimp, scallops, perhaps something else) and open our Christmas pajamas. Spend the night in those, and open things up Christmas morning. We'll also have monkey bread, a recipe my wife found a few years ago for a mix of biscuits, brown sugar, honey, butter, and a couple of other things that are also pretty high-calorie... fattening, but yummy!

This year, we're staying here for Christmas. Any grandparents are welcome to head on over. So far, two have declined, one has said yes, and the last is probably going to say yes as well.

Oh, and during December, the kids go through Advent calendars... little bits of chocolate for every day between the first and the 24th. A major part of their day... [img]smile.gif[/img]
