By the time you’re reading this, it’ll officially be Christmas morning! So, from our family to yours—Merry Christmas! 🎄✨

Let me tell you, yesterday was a whirlwind, but we got everything done—just barely. I managed to wrap up all the gifts (yes, ALL of them), but of course, I ran out of wrapping paper halfway through. Typical, right? Thankfully, we made it work with what we had left.

On the food front, I’ve prepped some of the meals for later today. Attached, you’ll find our 2024 Christmas menu (because you know I couldn’t skip the menu card tradition). Prepping ahead always takes the pressure off and lets me focus more on spending time with the family.

Christmas with Dabbie

Dabbie has been counting down to Christmas since… forever, it feels like. Every single day, it’s been “When is Christmas? How many more days?” Now that the day is finally here, I can’t wait to put an end to those questions. Although, knowing Dabbie, she probably already has another question lined up. Maybe something like, “When’s my birthday?” 😂

Today’s Plans

Today will be a day filled with all the things that make the holiday special:

• Cooking (of course!)
• Laughing until our stomachs hurt
• The kids running around and playing
• Bonding with H
• And probably squeezing in some TV time (because it’s tradition to watch something cozy or festive).

Christmas always reminds me of how much we have to be grateful for—family, love, and the simple joys of being together.
