merry christmas eve everyone!!
have you notice that i'm obsessed with the holidays yet?
at first, christmas landing on a wednesday seemed like a big fat pain. now that the time has come around, i'm loving it! it's like a hanukkah-lenght christmas celebration! weeks of christmas is definitely more fun than just one day. last weekend we partied with my half of the family and next weekend we get to do it again with steve's!
we both got extra days off work this week (sadly they don't overlap) so we're going to pack in all the holiday cheer we can between our family sandwich. i couldn't be more excited about spending christmas morning with steve and bert. even though i know i'll just be playing santa for myself, i can't wait to stuff our stockings, play some carols, and curl up with claymation christmas specials and some form of breakfast casserole before we head to my aunt's for christmas dinner.
last year on christmas eve, steve and i marinaded, broiled, and topped with pan-fried onions two incredibly delicious steaks while we played christmas carols in the basement of his fraternity's empty shared senior house. we've decided to make our christmas eve steak night a new tradition.
it's pretty great to have so much love coming from all directions while we start our new little family... new traditions are the name of the game now that everyone's merging families this year! i'm sure glad ours is as delicious as boursin smothered beef.
merry christmas to all and to all a goodnight! and happy holidays and mini-vacations for those who do not celebrate christmas!
