It’s Christmas Eve.
The excitement is tangible as we get ready to celebrate the holiday with our loved ones. The smell of pine fills the air, and twinkly lights adorn every tree and house.
For many of us, this day is filled with traditions, like baking cookies, singing carols, and opening up presents. It’s a time to come together with family and friends and reflect on the love and joy that the holiday season brings.
But while the holiday may look a little different this year due to the ongoing pandemic, that doesn’t mean we can’t still celebrate and make the most of it. Whether you’re having a virtual gathering or a small, in-person gathering with those in your household, there are plenty of ways to make the day special.
One idea is to spend the day cooking and baking your favorite holiday treats. From sugar cookies and gingerbread houses to roast beef and mashed potatoes, there’s no shortage of delicious recipes to choose from. And don’t forget about the classic Christmas Eve feast of seafood and pasta, a tradition in many cultures around the world.
Another way to celebrate is to spend the day indulging in all the festive activities that make this time of year so special. This might include singing carols, watching holiday movies, or going for a walk to see all the beautiful lights and decorations in your neighborhood.
No matter how you choose to spend Christmas Eve, remember to take a moment to appreciate the love and joy that surrounds you. The holiday season is all about celebrating the people we hold dear.
So from all of us here at Today is National…, we wish you a very Merry Christmas Eve and a happy holiday season!
