Digitally Printed Garments

I am trying to establish a Christmas Eve tradition for my family. Ever since we stopped going to my husband’s grandmother’s house for her family Christmas party on Christmas Eve, we haven’t really had anything to do that night. At first I was okay with that, after having somewhere to go every single Christmas Eve since I was a baby (growing up we went to my dad’s family gathering on Christmas Eve then once I was married we started going to my husband’s family function), it was nice to not have to pack up the kids and go anywhere, getting home late only to wrestle with the kids to get them into their new Christmas printed pajamas and then to bed so I could relax and put out the Santa presents. But after a couple of years of having nothing to do, I realized that I missed it. And since I want Christmas Eve to be enjoyable and not stressful, I’ve tried to think of something fun to do. Last year I came up with the idea of putting some hot chocolate in a thermos, grabbing some snacks, and after an early supper of homemade pizza, heading out to drive around and look at Christmas lights for a while, then head home and put the kids to bed. That seemed to work well and we all enjoyed it so we’re going to do it again this year. It’s also a good opportunity for me to take some lovely high color photographs of the Christmas lights. I’m not sure it’s a tradition that will hold since after a while the kids will get too old to want to look at Christmas lights, but it will work as a tradition for the foreseeable future anyway.

Coming up next weekend is a Christmas tradition that my parents and my brother and sister and I started a few years ago – our annual Christmas Slumber Party at Grandma and Grandpa’s House. We pack our bags (and me my camera so I can take digital photos of the festivities) and head to my mom and dad’s place for two whole days and a night of Christmas slumber party fun. We typically have the kids (there are seven grandkids still young enough to want to have a slumber party at grandma’s) help put up the Christmas tree and my mom’s Christmas village. We also usually make lots of different kinds of cookies and other goodies. Last year I think we cleaned up the kitchen about 5,396 times. Each time the kids were done with what they had decided to make, we had to clean up the kitchen (and sometimes the kids when they got flour or frosting all over their shirts). I got so sick of cleaning that stinking kitchen by the end of that weekend! The fact that my brother and sister and I look forward to the slumber party (we spend the night too) almost as much as our kids do is completely notwithstanding. And I must remember my camera again this year. I think I want to use my digital printer to make scrapbooks of the last three years for all of the kids to keep.
