Someone commented on their Christmas Eve tradition of running to the stores and staying up until 2 or 3am. That was pretty funny because we were nearly identical. I was just writing to my sisters about how I've tried to change my ways in the recent years (okay since being married and not wanting to totally disappoint my hubby). We'd hit the mall on the 24th and it closed at 5pm so then we'd hurry over to Kmart because it closed at 6pm since we inevitably hadn't finished shopping.
Then we'd go home, all help with a big fondue dinner, and once that was all over and cleaned up we'd all try to wrap presents for each other without looking until the wee hours of the night. Santa's helpers weren't very happy about that since they needed to do the same.

Afton! We practically are in the same family.. This is Ryan Brown's little sister, a.k.a. Josh's cousin. I love that someone else's family does that same thing?!! People usually seem mortified when I tell them about our "tradition"... :) Oh, and about the Kmart thing.. we do the SAME thing! When the mall closes we all always head over to Walmart, because it is inevitably open two hours longer than regular stores! I love it!!
P.S. And while wrapping gifts we always watch christmas special reruns like "The Christmas Story" and "Charlie Brown's Christmas"... classic!
