Have a Holly Jolly Christmas

Frohe Weihnachten!!! I'm not sure what it is that puts me in a happy mood around the holidays, but it seems it can be a little sad too. Missed memories, or those great cookies my Aunt used to make..... Lots of things to miss, but SO many things to look forward too. While out getting Christmas presents yesterday both of us kept talking about having a family of our own and how exciting it is to see your children enjoying unwrapping their presents. I know we both just can't wait. I feel the desire to have a family, now! :) I know this could have something with the fact that we would be having a baby about now. So we will see what happens :) I suppose we should worry about getting married first. One week away! Ahhhh.... I am so excited, and anxious. We went yesterday and picked up a few more items that we needed.

Today I woke up, wrapped presents and started making spinach artichoke dip and wraps to bring to my parents tonight. We always celebrate Christmas Eve. Everyone comes over, we eat, make our hot spiced wine. Similar to Gluehwine, but its called Feuerzangen-bowle. We soak our sugarcane in 151 rum and light it on fire. We then pour a cup of the 151 over the sugar cone. It is quite a sight and it will put you on your butt pretty quick! That with some Lebkuchen mmmmmmmmmm. We open presents next and that would conclude the night.

So, I am off to go get ready. I will post pictures later.
