Jared and I don't really do big gifts any time of the year. We like to spoil each other little by little all year long, sometimes for no reason at all except we love each other. With that being said, we all huddled up downstairs around the tree and opened our stockings. The pups were so overwhelmed they didn't know what to do...treats and balls and babies galore! So we played with their toys and just enjoyed the time together. J's stocking was full of peppermints, gift cards and lottery tickets! He immediately scratched off the tickets and was bummed when he didn't win. Mine had some goodies, too!
Aside from our stocking, we only get 3 gifts. If Jesus only got 3 gifts from the wise men, why should we get more? He got new fun t-shirts for work, a new desk calendar and some sleep shorts. I got a pajama set, a desk calendar and slippers. He surprised me with a Hallmark ornament when we were decorating the tree. It's a quiet tradition that he continues each year.
I think this celebration was my favorite. Just us, at home, enjoying each other and basking in the beautiful twinkle lights from the tree. The pups even got a special treat from grandmaw and grandpaw...an edible holiday card!
