Re: All I want for Christmas is..
We had the family over for Christmas Eve. The grandkids and their parents were finished by 8 pm. It was always a tradition once the girls married and left home that they spent the Eve with us, had Christmas morning with their kids at their home and they then went to the in-laws for Christmas Dinner.
Hubby and I don't buy gifts for under the tree for each other. He gave me the plane tickets for my NY visit in January and I bought him his gift which was delivered two weeks ago. It would have been too big for under the tree.
Glad she was more than willing to wait. Not so my children growing up nor my grandkids today. First presents and then a special Christmas breakfast is the norm.

No snow. 75 deg and sunny. Saw the snow on TV though - very pretty.

I would like a Boxing Day for Christmas.

We're doing this today as it's only a few blocks from our house and I'm intrigued to see what Americans think a traditional English Boxing Day entails...

Which is what I'm doing now after being out to fill the propane tank for a nice steak.

Re: All I want for Christmas is..
Suffice to say, when I was of the age to understand that steaks can be cooked to different levels I took over.
