I commented on your Instagram today that I'd be joining you in casting on the Coorie In...but I'll begin mine with my early morning coffee on Christmas Day. Years ago, when my children were small, we changed up our Christmas. I remember the moment vividly...my youngest was probably 13months and by supper he was exhausted from the excitement of the day, and all the sugar. He was crying, and I was close to tears. This would be after visiting one set of grandparents and trying to have dinner at the other set of grandparents. The next year, I prepared our own dinner on Christmas Eve, then we visited all the grandparents Christmas morning...came home midday so the kids could play with their toys, and we'd eat leftovers. I remember thinking, one day when they are all grown and have significant others, they won't have to figure out how to spend their Christmas Day...so we've enjoyed our Christmas Eve's together ever since. Some of them drop by for a wee visit Christmas Day....but it's mostly a cozy, relaxing day for us. So....I plan to have everything I need all ready to begin my glorious red poncho!
