Our Favourite Christmas Eve Traditions

Nancy Chapman, Vancouver Savvy Scribe

We host a huge family dinner for 22 and stay up late playing The Game of Things until it's time for Midnight Mass (sans kids). We are vegetables on Christmas Day and try to sneak in a nap somewhere before another feast with friends. But my favourite holiday tradition is Boxing Day shopping—my sisters and I meet at Holt Renfrew at 7 am, shop all day, go for dim sum and finish it off with a foot massage.
