		<description>I love Christmas Eve as well.  We don&#039;t &#039;feast&#039; on Christmas in my house -- we do it on Christmas Eve, fire for ambiance and all.  Our little feast isn&#039;t very tradtional (I don&#039;t think anyway).  We create a &quot;cold plate&quot; out of our favorite Hickory Farm like stuff.  We munch and play games.

The evening epidemizes Christmas in that everything has been readied for the next day.  There&#039;s a moment (for me anyway) of peaceful relaxation, just to take a breath and enjoy the season.

As a mom, I run around quite a bit leading up to that point, and will be up running the house on Christmas as well.  I love the scurry too, because it also creates that relished moment of peace.

Great post Frank :-)</description>
