an arizona christmas eve

Most people have a nice dinner and program on Christmas eve, open christmas pjs, put cookies and milk out for santa, sing carols, and enjoy family time.  We do all those things on Christmas eve too...but our favorite tradition is swimming.  My parents heat up the hot tub and we all jump in, just one of the perks of living in Arizona!!
 
Then there are some crazy people who think it is fun to jump in the freezing cold pool...I think I got my big toe in before I stopped...

After dinner everyone was zonked...another reason why swimming is a fabulous christmas tradition, it wears everyone out.


After bringing everyone home, opening christmas jammies, putting out milk and cookies then reputting everyone to bed, Owen and I, for the first time in I don't know how many years, watched a movie and went to bed before midnight...yes, I had NO wrapping to do.   Thank you wrapping club, my favorite NEW Christmas tradition!  

How can you not LOVE christmas??
