It is Christmas Eve!

What a much anticipated day each year!

Our church has a Christmas Eve Service

and then it is home to open the contents of 

the stockings where there is never a shortage

of laughter.

Most of the time the gag gifts and pranks are

provided by my sweet, innocent Mom!

She needs extra prayer right now as she

has finally caught the virus that has been

plaguing the rest of us for so long.

She really needs to be well before she leaves 

for Peru in just a week.

Traditionally we have had this stocking party

at my Mom's house.  But this year we are going

to do it here.  So, Chelsea and I are planning to 

whip up some fun snacks for the occasion.

Today we will make:

Broccoli Cheese Dip with Cubed Bread for Dipping

Ham Balls

Cheese and Bologna Platter

and

A Veggie Tray

Yum!

This nourishment will come in handy as supper is likely

to be a bit sparse with the preparations for the service.

I'll need to get there early to decorate, print the bulletins

and run through music with those who are nervous.

I wonder....

What are your Christmas Eve plans or traditions?

Do you have time to share?
