Today we went to my sisters house. Every year they go all out to make it a wonderful day for everyone.
Every year my brother in law dresses up as Santa and has everyone sing, he gives out gifts, and just acts silly. Only 3 of them believe it is Santa, but they still all get excited. I don't know who enjoys it more, the adults watching the kids or the kids watching Santa.
At dinner each year my sister sets a "popper" at everyone's seat and we have to pull it apart to see what is inside; it is kinda like a Cracker Jack toy from my childhood days usually but this year it changed. I got a mini sewing kit, Jim and Kyle got a key chain holder, and Beth got a compass.... appears the company wanted to upgrade... Last year I got a beautiful plastic dolphin ring(it almost fix). Every "popper" also has a paper crown, so just for fun we all have to wear the crown while eating dinner! My family is very silly, crazy, and really fun sometimes. We enjoy sharing stories from our childhood and now that we have kids.
I really couldn't ask for a better gift then to spend time with the people I love. This Christmas seemed different somehow, dont' know why, but I was surely blessed.
