Growing up, we never turned on our Christmas tree lights before we got home from Christmas Eve Mass. It was such a magical thing! We don't do that anymore, but we do put luminaries down our front walk. My mom always did this growing up, and it's something I like to continue.

Now, Christmas Eve is for my little family (me and DH now, baby next year). We have a very appetizer-heavy mid-afternoon meal and seafood in the evening while wrapping presents. Then we go to Midnight Mass and the carol sing beforehand. It's one of my favorite nights of the year!
