I WILL HONOR CHRISTMAS IN MY HEART,

AND TRY TO KEEP IT ALL THE YEAR.

—CHARLES DICKENS

I have a large family. My dad is one of seven, my mom one of six, so Christmas Day is always exciting but chaotic. Ten years ago, to combat the craziness, my dad instituted a new Christmas Eve tradition that has become my favorite. On Christmas Eve after Mass, we drive into the city for dinner with just my dad, mom, sister, and husband. It is a quiet celebration over an amazing meal where we talk about the gifts we’ve been given this year—not those we are hoping to find under the tree.

Later, we look at Christmas lights on our way home, then trade our dress clothes for sweats before popping in A Christmas Story. It’s the best mix of special celebration and quality family time there is. —MELISSA B.
