Because our family celebrates Christmas a weekend early now (to accomodate in-laws scheduling, etc.), Kay and I have begun a tradition of celebrating Christmas together. We've discovered that we really like a simple day without any set plans.
This is how our day turned out this year:
Woke up around 7:00, but fought to stay in bed until 8:45 because we didn't get home from church until after 1:00 a.m. . . .eggs, coffee, tortillas, turkey bacon. . .yummy breakfast was worth getting up for!
Late morning: Kay and I both uh. . ."tested" Ryan's new BOSU ball while he was celebrating Christmas with his family.
Early afternoone: Photo shoot for Ryan. The point was to get some good head shots for him - he's an actor. We got some cool pictures. Kay liked the raindrops on the window the best. I like them too.
Mid-afternoon: "Christmas dinner" with filet mignon, asparagus, salad. . .
. . .and chocolate mousse. Excellent.
Late afternoon/evening:
Kay really wanted me to watch Pride and Prejudice. She didn't tell me it was 5 hours long. Good thing we weren't on a schedule. Loved the book, loved the movie. Even have a soft spot for Colin Firth now (he's one of Kay's favorite blokes).
All in all, a fantastic no-commitment day.
Hope all of your celebrations were wonderful as well!
