It's the annual Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories! I've participated the past three years (2009, 2010, and 2011),
and rather than simply re-post, I'm going to link to the older posts,
and - when applicable - post about something else that's somewhat
related.
The prompt for today is: December 24 – Christmas Eve
How did you, your family or your ancestors spend Christmas Eve?
In previous years I wrote about Christmas Eve traditions for my parents and in my family of origin. I'm drafting this post up on December 22, because I suspect I'll be wrapping gifts and/or making coffee cake on Christmas Eve.
This has been a weird Christmas for me. At this point I'm still not sure where we are going Christmas Day. I had so much going on this year that I did not even get a tree put up this year.
Here's what Christmas Eve looked like at 7913 Cedel in Houston in 1959. My parents must have taken this photo after my sister and I were asleep and Santa came with his haul:
