Our Favourite Christmas Eve Traditions

Alison Rockwell, Toronto Savvy Scribe

Our night before Christmas tradition involves a fun dinner with the extended family and then we head back home where the kids exchange the gifts they've made and 'bought' for each other (clarification: they picked them out and their mom paid the bill). This is one of my favourite moments—the sweet sibling exchange. Then we leave treats for Santa and his four-footed friends and tuck the kids in bed with lovingly whispered warnings that anyone who gets up before 6:30 am forfeits all gifts for a lump of coal. (Kidding. Sort of.) Merry Christmas!
