It’s Christmas Eve!

Who can you do on Christmas Eve? Here are a few ideas.

Open one gift. Many families make this an annual tradition to open one small gift on Christmas Eve.

Go look at Christmas lights. Tonight, will be a great time to take the family on a bit of a sightseeing tour looking for the best Christmas lighting displays. Remember to check out the Tinseltown Christmas Map for some suggestions.

Watch a special Christmas movie. There are many to choose from. How many times have you watched “Home Alone”?

Have a special Christmas Eve dinner. …..as if you aren’t going to eat enough tomorrow. Let’s feast tonight too! In the Downey Home, we always order some delicious Chinese food every Christmas Eve.

Play a family game. Monopoly anyone?

Christmas Eve church service. Many families go to their local church every Christmas Eve.

All day pajama party. Don’t forget to take those PJ Christmas pictures!

Track Santa. The small kids love this! Tune in for the Country 94 Santa Tracker this evening.

Make a gingerbread house. Easier said than done. My gingerbread house always caves in! It’s yummy to eat though.

Go Christmas caroling. Have you ever done this before? The bigger the group the more fun!

Merry Christmas!
