I can hardly believe how fast Christmas is approaching this year. 

It seems like only yesterday we were setting the table for Thanksgiving dinner, and now I am planning for Christmas dinner. 

Each year we choose to do all of our visiting on Christmas Eve.  This is strategic because I love to stay home on Christmas Day with my family and just hang out together.  Some of us do not even get dressed on this day.  We watched Christmas movies, or movies the kids might have gotten for Christmas and check out the new gifts everyone got. 

I also cook a nice Christmas dinner.  This is something I love to do since we are not home for Thanksgiving.  I try to make it really nice even though it is just us.  I like to set the table and include a centerpiece. I was looking at a floral  Centerpieces  from 1-800 Flowers.  They have got some really pretty stuff. 

I also like to light candles too.  And we use all of our nice dishes and silverware.  So even though our Christmas is very laid back, we still enjoy a great meal together.  I feel like it is my gift to my family.
