The nontraditional Christmas traditions
Dec. 27th, 2004 09:42 amI'm not going to write about all the usual family gifts & celebration stuff, because we had the most fun as we usually do: our own little family enjoying our Christmas Eve engagement anniversary!
Our family present to ourselves was a membership to the zoo, and one of Kieran's was 'his own' (adopted) grizzly bear there. We open our family presents Christmas Eve night (which is not wrong or early, it's Scandinavian) so Kieran didn't know beforehand about his bear. This was probably a good thing because it was 34 degrees, most of the animals were hiding or asleep, and we could only handle a few hours & didn't get to see them.
We did see the utmost in cuteness though...
( Baby Sumatran tigers! )
All Kieran could talk about was 'baby tigers! baby tigers! bye bye baby tigers' for a few hours afterward, I think we'll keep a trip to the zoo as a Christmas Eve tradition along with our presents, Chinese food, and the gigantic Spode goblets that hold half a bottle of wine each.
