We then drove to Fort Worth to have Christmas at my sister's house. Normally, we have it at my mom's, but with my dad's triple bypass and mom being in the hospital last week, Karen's offer to host was much appreciated.
At some point along the line many, many years ago, we stopped cooking a big Christmas Eve dinner and started ordering pizza. A practice my sister and I heartily endorse.
So after pizza, a little bit of Elf and discussions catching up on our favorite YouTube videos of the year (Taylor Swift's Monologue Song won hands down), we opened presents.
Since Mom and Dad had no time for shopping this year, they did cash--which Mom apologized for a zillion times, but we were openly thrilled with.
In the evening, John, Chase, Bethany and I drove home in the snow, made tacos, had dinner together and played Wii. I can't imagine a better Christmas eve.
