Christmas Eve Night Time Thread!

I know lots of you are out celebrating with family right now, but thought I'd say hello and AW my awesome Christmas Eve PJs my MIL got me. Every year she buys the kids Christmas Eve PJs to open and wear for Christmas Eve and to open gifts on Christmas. It's an awesome tradition!

Can't PIP, but here's a link:

Re: Christmas Eve Night Time Thread!

  • I should note, that the reason they're so awesome is because there's sock monkeys on them. I have a strange obsession with sock monkeys. there was a pair of sock monkey slippers at Target that I was super close to buying the other day, but I didn't. We went back today, and they don't have them anymore. Went online, out of stock. Boo...

  • Hi! I love them! We have the same tradition but we haven't opened ours yet. Enjoy the rest of the evening and have a great Christmas!

  • Love the pjs and what a great tradition. H and I exchanged a present tonight and we both got each other the same thing! They are small foam guns. There is a back story to them, but it was funny because we both didn't know we were getting them for each other.
  • I'm here for now.  Waiting for H to get off work at 9pm so Christmas can officially start! :)  Today has been booooooring.

    teach - I hope you promptly had s foam gun war after opening them.

  • We got Christmas PJs last year:

    This year we just got a card we're not supposed to open until tomorrow.  So we'll see what that is.  I had a dream it was a check for some ridiculous amount like $10,000 or something.  That sucked waking up from, haha

  • TR - We played Mega Millions. It would have been an awesome Christmas present to win the jackpot.

  • Nice teacher! That totally sounds like something my husband and I would do.

  • Beanie it was awesome. I didn't know what it was about. I laughed, I cried, I laughed some more.

  • I love Christmas movies! My favorite is Christmas Vacation and Rudolph.
  • Lucas found a bunch on youtube we've been watching yesterday and today.
    image
  • We'll be watching all of our Christmas movies tomorrow.  Love Actually, Scrooged, Rudolph, Home Alone, etc.  If we leave the house at all it will be to go see the new Sherlock Holmes movie and/or do a little self-timer Christmas photo shoot on the beach to commemorate our first Christmas down here.

  • We love going to the beach on Christmas Eve. When we first moved down here we found a place to eat and we have gone every year. Not the best food, but a great view and awesome weather.
  • And I just know those movies tomorrow are going to make me cry.  I think going off BC has affected my hormones a bit, I cried through The Blind Side today and I've seen it at least 5 times.

  • I love Love Actually. I just don't own it and Lucas won't watch it with me. We watched Mickey's Christmas Carol, Toy Story 1, 2, 3, (We own those, not on you tube, and not really Christmas movies, but they're still awesome), and Muppet's Christ,as Carol is next. We also watched Garfield's Christmas Special.

  • Hi E ladies!

    I want to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie!

    K fell asleep in my lap after dinner so I'm waiting for her to wake up so we can go upstairs to bed. Tomorrow my parents are coming over to our house but it's going to be fairly low key.
  • Hey Katie!!  K is gorgeous :)

    Hi KW!! TR I totally cried during Arthur Christmas, but not for sadness, for nostalgia. There were just some really sweet parts that shouldn't have made me cry, but did.
    image
  • Thanks! I can't believe how big she's getting. She had her first playdate with the Tide babies last week and they all actually played and interacted.
  • Yeah, I cried for just no good reason.  This is going to be awesome.  /sarcasm.

  • Well, ladies, I'm gonna go straighten up and make sure the apt is all nice and ready for H when he gets home.  OOOH!  And I'm gonna make some hot apple cider in the Keurig too :)

  • Hello everyone! We just got back from doing Christmas at my mom's. Me, FI, my sister, and BIL all went in for a Keurig for my mom. She was so excited about it which made me feel really good because it was my idea. 

    We also do the pjs for Christmas Eve tradition and have done it since I can remember. This year my mom got FI and I matching penguin pajamas. We took my mom to a restaurant called The Penguin a year ago and she's been buying us penguin stuff every since as a joke. It's funny. 
  • Merry Christmas! 
    I'm sitting here watching my husband put together a play kitchen.  He's all like "This is my first Christmas where I have to build stuff!".  He's too funny.
