As a little girl, my mama had a tradition- every single Christmas Eve, for every year I remember, she allowed me to open one gift.

Each and every year, it was a pair of pajamas.

Each and every year, she would tease and tell me she could always change her mind…it might be something different, but nope, it was always pajamas. It was fun and has made for an incredibly sweet memory.

So now, each and every Christmas Eve, we gather as a family and allow the children to open one, single gift.

So far, it’s been pajamas.

Smiling babies…

and a perfect picture of Christmas in our home…

You never know. Next year, the gift could be something completely different. 😉
