Free Post- Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is not only the day before Christmas, which is exciting, but it's also my birthday. I love having a birthday around Christmas because it's my favorite time of year with the great weather, decorations, and all the festivities. I can also use winter activities like ice skating or Fulton Street in New Orleans as birthday party options but now that we're older and we usually just have smaller get-togethers or dinners for our birthdays, scheduling that can be difficult. People are never in town during Christmas break and even fewer are available to do things with me on my real birthday. Luckily for the past few years, my parents and I have had the same plan on my birthday and I'm perfectly content with it.

One of my closest friends has spent the night with me on the night before my birthday for the past few years and so when we get up on my birthday day, we eat breakfast and I open my present. My parents and I go to Ruth's Chris every year for my birthday for lunch but I think we've changed the restaurant this year. This year we're going to Gino's and then coming home to be festive and get pumped for Christmas. We might also have some family people over but that's not usually the plan and I'm not particularly one for change but I suppose it'll be fun. Finally, I love tradition so I love that each holiday is pretty predictable and I know that it'll be great and this birthday will hopefully be just the same.
