<--Thanks Melissa for thinking <--is funny
<--'s husband just shakes head at <-- and calls <-- a dork
<--Thinks being a dork is a good thing, though
<--Loves Melissa's "AKA Boobie Gizzarddunkin"
<--Just updated <--'s name too
<--urges all the OALers to put their new names in their signature too
<--Thinks Robin's Christmas Eve sounds really great
<--Says <--'s family doesn't go to church on Christmas Eve because it's just a walk-in communion, and <--'s kids would have to go to nursery, which is no fun on Christmas Eve
<--Says <--'s church has a Moravian Lovefeast (last night) that sounds a lot like Robin's Christmas Eve service
<--Says at the Lovefeast, we sing Christmas songs, eat traditional Moravian sweet buns, drink coffee (all in the sanctuary) and listen to the choir. It ends with us all passing the light (candle by candle), which we take outside the church, to symbolize spreading God's light into the world. SO beautiful...
<--On Christmas Eve day, my parents come by for lunch and mom and I go to a local smoked ham shop and buy breakfast foods for the next day's brunch at her house. That night, just DH and DSs and I watch Christmas movies/drink eggnog until kiddos go to bed then it's Santa-time and <--drinks wine, watches A Christmas Story and It's A Wonderful Life while wrapping gifts. Then DH takes a picture with the camcorder of the Christmas tree with all the gifts. Then about two hours later, my oldest wakes us up...
<--Apologizes for such long post.
<--Got lost in the moment.
ETA:
<--THanks Shelley for the fudge intervention
<--Wishes <--had Shelley's willpower!!!
<--Won't have problem with fudge today, BTW. It's all gone.

<---has always been the first one up Christmas morning, even when the kids were small
<---oh, except one Christmas when Tristan was five and Emily was two:
Tristan woke up first and knew he was allowed to open the presents in his stocking. He opened his, ate all the chocolate Santas, chewed all the gum, then opened all of the gifts in Emily's stocking, ate all her chocolate Santas and chewed all of her gum. Luckily, we discovered it before Emily woke up and was able to rewrap all her gifts. Except the chocolate Santas and the chewed gum, of course...

<---Edited to add that she thinks Steph's Christmas Eve sounds great!
<---Tells Steph that she is a dork in her house too!
<---Is LOL regarding Robin's description of Tristan and the stocking!!! Too Funny!
