Christmas Traditions

Tia wrote about some of the Christmas traditions that they do so I wanted to write a couple that we do.

This year, being the first away from home, we are going to Red Lobster for our Christmas Eve dinner.  Typically, we would have gone over to Randy and Diana's house for a candle lit crab leg dinner or as I like to call it, crabs in the dark. (due to the candle light not being bright enough to actually see anyone else)  One funny story to come out of this tradition was once Bracken's wife tasted paint thinner in her crab.  As a result, 15 lbs of crab of Alaskan King crab was thrown out ($$$).  Glad that wasn't my bill to cover.  So we will carry on the tradition minus the dishes and cleaning and smell in the house.


Another Christmas tradition is to write a letter to others in the family and hang it on the tree.  On Christmas day we each read our personal letters which give us warm fuzzies to know how much we are appreciated and loved by that person.  It is nice and easy for a person like me to type my feelings up instead of having to express them out loud.

Anyway, hope you all have a great Christmas!!  Love you guys!!!
