Last year we started having a low key Christmas. With Charle’s birthday on Christmas Eve it just became to much to have his birthday and then a full blow “holiday dinner” on Christmas. So now we get up, not to early, have some of Celeste’s awesome cinnamon rolls and then open presents. After presents we have breakfast followed by an easy going morning. A movie in the afternoon and then home for a simple dinner. It’s made for two great Christmas Day’s in a row.
The Cinnamon Roll. They've been a holiday tradition for as long as I can remember.

Low key is a wonderful concept. Our big dinner is on Christmas eve as well.
