Our Christmas Story

The Eve of Christmas Eve

I awake the day before Christmas Eve, around 5 am, so I begin slide out of bed trying not to wake my love and head to the kitchen so I can start my morning coffee.

After the coffee brewed and I poured myself a cup, I get to work on the desserts for tomorrow as well as Christmas Day, I plan on making me three different pies as well as for different types of cookies.. I proceed to play Pandora on my cell phone so I can listen to music quietly... Christmas music.

I'm having fun making as I sing and dance to the music in my holiday night shirt and socks with my hair pulled back in a messy bun.

Suddenly, Erich comes out of the living room and leans against the door frame as he watches me smiling happily as I keep dancing without noticing he was there.

I keep going oblivious to his presence until he comes over and asks me from behind kissing my cheek gently making me smile as I turned to face him.

We kiss.

"Good morning." We say at the same time in between kisses.

He leaves the room as I check the oven pulling my first batch cookies out as I put the next patch in right away, when he reappears he has a blunt in his mouth and pants over his Christmas boxers.

Even proceeds to sit in the corner of the counter lighting it up as I said my coffee taking a minute from baking and cutting the cookies.

As I go to the bowl in the sink to be washed he stops me and pulls me so I was between his legs, I place the ball on the counter beside him as he passes me the blunt and I hit it deeply pulling him into a kiss exhaling it into his lungs.

We smoke the blend as I continue to work and we wait for the kids to wake up, he decided before they woke up he was going to go to Dunkin' donuts and grab donuts and hot chocolate for the children for an easy breakfast while I had the kitchen in chaos with my desserts.

Around 7:45 a.m. the kids finally come out of their rooms and search for Mommy and Daddy and at this point my love had already come back from Dunkin' donuts and had everything set out on the coffee table so the kids just had to grab and sit on the couch so they can watch SpongeBob Christmas episode with Daddy while I kept baking.

While they keep watching Christmas movies I keep baking until everything is fully done and cooling, then I begin cleaning the kitchen up so that you can never know that there was a mess in the first place.

As I'm in the kitchen I look at the whiteboard so I can go over the checklist for tomorrow's dinner because we are having his parents over for dinner and presents and I want them to have the perfect dinner while they are with us so I plan on making a ham dinner with all of the fixings... Where as I plan on making lasagna for Christmas Day to be a more simpler and family oriented meal.

After breakfast we both clean them up as well as their mess before we take them back to their bedrooms and help them get dressed for the day, meaning we have them get into clothes that they can play in outside when the time is right.. warm comfortable clothes.

After that I put on polar Express for them to watch in the living room, as Erich finishes the last minute decorating inside and out of the house so that we have everything perfect for when his folks come tomorrow night.

And Wiley does that I begin to clean the house as well as make the children homemade hot chocolate to enjoy with their movies.

Once they were all set up in my love was hard at work get to work on the snacks and sides for tomorrow's dinner.. I proceed to make a veggie tray as well as the fruit tray with my uncle's famous seafood salad plus I make deviled eggs.. it takes me a while but I can see to get everything I'm in a timely fashion.
