When I lived in New Mexico, every Christmas Eve was celebrated at my Grandma's house with like... all of my dad's extended family. Most of my favorite childhood memories are from Christmas. Just being surrounded by people who love you unconditionally, along with the lights and table of delicious! seasonal food really captures the heart of what I think Christmas is all about~
Christmas Day was usually spent at home after that with the nuclear family. Times have changed after moving, but I still spend every Christmas with some family, regardless of how old I get and how old-fashioned that may seem.
I LOOK SO HAPPY - NOT REALLY AT ALL BUT I WAS (I just hate taking photos, etc.).
This was last year with a couple of my cousins and my grammy, who I love very much. <3
