My friend, Lauren, at LiveLaughLove, tagged me to talk about my Christmas traditions. I'm sad to say that Matt and I don't really have any yet! But I will be able to share more after our first Christmas next year.
One thing that I do each year is celebrate Matt's birthday the weekend before Christmas. He is a Christmas Eve baby and I never want him to feel jipped out of a great birthday. We went to Schlafly Bottleworks to try it out and were so surprised! That place is amazing! We loved it so much we are planning to have our rehearsal dinner there.
Christmas Eve, Matt and I part ways. I never like missing Christmas Eve at my house. My family goes to church and enjoys some great food that my mom makes once a year. Vegetable pizza, Sweedish meatballs...I could go on and on. It was all delish! Then we hang out, watch a movie and I sleep over. Matt goes to church with his family. Next year, we'll have to figure something else out!
Christmas Day, Matt comes over early to open presents with my family. We go see a movie (and have for years and years) and head over to his parent's house. This year was especially nice because my mom, dad and sister came over to the Telken's house to meet the crew. It was great for everyone to finally meet!
I'm not going to tag anyone now, but will be sure to have more Christmas traditions for you next year. One thing Matt and I will do from this Christmas on is stocking stuffers. I love surprising him with small things that make him happy. He even got me a new camera this year! With all the pictures I take, my cameras don't last as long as they should. :-)
Pictures to come next post! Thanks again for sharing your Christmas traditions.
