Christmas Eve

Though with the sunshine brilliant and blinding and the temperature at around 13C it doesn't quite feel that way. Still good news for the carolling in Washington Square Park

Have realized that what we need is a Christmas Eve tradition - something that hooks us into the holiday regardless of where we are in the world. I know that sans kids it's harder - but there has to be something - from treating a midnight mass as a free 'appetizer' through to watching some crap old 'only at Xmas' TV show.

Suggestions - of the helpful kind - gratefully received

dress your tree and open presents scandic style on christmas eve. then go for an early morning walk on christmas day and enjoy streets as empty as the open sequence of 28 days later save for the occasional excited and slightly nervous kid trying to master their new bike.
