Welcome to December Daily™ 2011 | Day Twenty-Four.
Ah, Christmas Eve. I love this day - the anticipation, the excitement, the magic.
My favorite part of the day is when darkness begins to fall and the twinkle lights seem to glow brighter than any previous day.
I've been holding on to that Santa drawing from the paper all month. It was part of an ad for Macy's - I loved that it was city specific.
December Sentiment Strip right above the jouranling. Journaling font is Garamond (date is Helvetica Neue). The green word sticker is from October Afternoon.
This time I did more of a play by play with my jouranling. I think that's the kind of thing that will be cool to look back on in future years (and next year when I will have forgotten what we did this year).
Pattern paper along the bottom is My Mind's Eye Peppermint Patty. Stamp on kraft cardstock is my 25 Moments from Technique Tuesday.

Okay, I have to know, where are Anna's p.j.s from? We always do one present on Christmas eve and it is always p.j.s. I'd love to get these for my girls.

Found those via the Gap online. Ordered them probably in October ;).
Drat, doesn't look like they have them any more. I'll have to keep Gap in mind next year. We usually do Hanna Anderson but I didn't like the selection this year. Thanks for letting me know so I could look.

Knowing we had a full day, I recorded Xmas Eve in a day-in-the-life way, taking photos and recording times. Interesting to see how it will compare in future years.

what a good idea! will have to try that next year...also thinking about doing a guest sign in our Christmases Eve get togethers change every year: this year one niece is very pregnant and couldn't come, one daughter and her family didn't attend, but my son surprised me by bringing a childhood friend and his family! and next year we will have a new granddaughter or grandson join us!

Ali, I want to thank you for doing this this year especially. I am in a similar family situation as you and couldn't bear to do a DD this year for many reasons. It's therapeutic to read your journaling. I have two kids myself and we did a similar thing on Christmas Eve, right down to the short drive to see lights. Hope your New Year is "up"!

Ditto, lots of love, sent your way, both of you! Amazing and strong both of you to keep things going, and making a lovely Christmas for yourselves and your children.

Yes, seriously cute jammies! I'm working on finishing up my album - it sort of seems like I'll never finish but I also sort of don't want it to end (like reading a good long book).

Of course Anna's candy-cane-striped pajamas are the cutest, but I also love that Santa illustration from the paper!

Love all of the above. And the glimpse of snow through the window. Wonderful that you captured all that in one picture.
