I love Christmas music! My iPod is full of various styles and artisits. Two of my favorites have to be O Holy Night and the Little Drummer Boy.

Some of my memories of Christmas Past...

• Midnight Mass @ midnight
• Cracked crab for dinner
• Milk & cookies for Santa (and bourbon to keep him warm & soda water for Rudolf's nose)
• Taking turns to open gifts Christmas morning

This year we got a tall, lean tree to work around Baby Geek. Since it has less real estate then trees in the past we only put about 1/3 of our ornaments. Better safe than sorry.

A Christmas Tradition that I think will reappear in our home this year is one from my childhood. I wasn't allowed out of bed on Christmas morning until Santa rang our doorbell. If you think about it, it's quite brilliant. Sometimes Santa wouldn't ring the doorbell until 9:30 or 10:00. I realized that the later starts coincided with the larger items that required "some assembly" and "batteries not included." Hmmmmm....

The sights of the season we saw today were all about Santa Claus. Baby Geek & I met with some friends in our playgroup at the local shopping center to visit with St. Nick. As always Baby Geek was a charmer smiling and giggeling with Santa. Afterwards we went to a nearby eatery and had a great lunch. Baby Geek was exhausted, he crashed out in  the car and slept through my removing him from the carseat, changing a diaper, and putting him into his crib. It's hard work being so charming!

This to-do list might seem like we have lots and lots to do, but Christmas doesn't officially start until after Dr. Geek's birthday. After that is when we get the tree, put up the lights and hang the stockings.

A tradition of Christmases past that I miss is Plum Pudding for dessert. I don't think I ever ate the pudding but I just loved watching the ritual of having it ignited. It was such the show.

I grew up with simple old school advent calendars. The cardstock ones with the little windows that you searched for the next number to open each morning. I've started to look for a more permanent, perpetual style that we can use with baby Geek. I have a few years to go before he can appreciate the daily countdown. I remembered the cut file from Lettering Delgiths that had a card with little window and knew it would be perfect for this page.

Is there even such a thing as perfect? I don't think Martha Stewart can claim a perfect Christmas. I think imperfection is what makes me happy at Christmas, it's more real this way.
