Christmas Eve has always been a special day in my family... since becoming an adult I would go out to my parents and we would bake cookies, Frost them, go to Christmas Eve mass, share a big meal and open our presents... this year with dad gone it is looking different but I still am going to spend time with my mom. #sharedholidaytradition #wintergames #teamnutcracker @Bookworm54

My family also attends this church, so it‘s a #sharedholidaytradition This service is my favorite of the year because it‘s quiet, & I get to see some friends that are in town.

Our family opens gifts. When I was little, we‘d go out to eat dinner & Santa would visit while we were away. My mother would routinely “forget her purse” & rush in to eat the cookies, drink milk, etc. Once we were old enough to understand, her forgetfulness that one day of the year was quite hilarious. My husband‘s family opened on Christmas Eve too. So we continued my family‘s tradition until recently.

In case anyone in the Austin TX area missed my last post about this:
I‘ll be hosting my second annual Jolabokaflod Bookswap party on December 24 from 7-10 pm.

Bring a book that you loved to swap, and go home with another beloved book. We‘ll share desserts, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and talk books.

Let me know if you‘d like more information. Please tag Littens you know who live nearby. ❤️💚❤️💚

Megabooks @Rachel.Rencher I knew there were Austin littens that met. Hope this helps! 5y
Eggs Will it be in central Austin or will it b in Pflugerville? Thanks 5y
Soubhiville @Eggs it‘s at my house in Pflugerville! Can you make it? You‘re also welcome to bring bookish family/ friends. My email is magicbelly@gmail.com if you‘d like more info and my address 😁.
