We took it easy on Christmas Eve Day last year, visiting briefly at Elena's and Tim Sr's before going to the children's service at Timmy's preschool's church. The kids get to dress up like a Shepard or Angel and there is more singing then talking.
When we got home I made slice and bake sugar cookies for Santa while we watched a Christmas movie. After the movie, Timmy wrote a letter to Santa, thanking him for sending Fuzzy, our elf, to keep an eye on them before Christmas. Timmy also suggested putting out water for the Reindeer, along with their carrots and the milk and cookies for Santa. Then Timmy was easy to send to bed, but Tyler wasn't quite ready to go down. He helped Santa out by licking the icing off a few cookies before he went to bed.
Christmas morning Timmy hoped out of bed and waited fairly patiently while we got Tyler up and changed. Timmy sort of waited for Tyler to come down the stairs too.
