EKA Christmas. My very best friends since forever Erin and Kelly we get together cook dinner and open presents and talk talk talk. We have been doing EKA Christmas for almost 10 years now. So so special to me. This year is going to really show us we are all grown up now cause we are having it at Erin's house. She is all married now and we are all grown. So crazy to think.

Probably my all time favorite thing to do is on Christmas Eve with my Mama and Daddy. We have been doing this since I was a baby. We read my pop up book of The night before Christmas that has Wilford Brimbley reading it on cassette tape (We can hardly open it cause it's like 25 years old and it survived our house fire so some of the pages are a little chard) Then Daddy reading from the family bible The Christmas Story. When I was a teenager I was like ok this is lame but now that I am older I am so happy we have kept up with this tradition!

I am so glad that I had a Mama that really loved Christmas and did everything she could to make it special for me. I still hold on to all the things I watched, listened, read, ate so many things I did at Christmas as a child to dear and will always be happy when Christmas time comes to do them all over again.

Can't believe Christmas is right around the corner. I wish everyone a very blessed Christmas!!!
