Christmas Jammies













One of my favorite traditions is Christmas Jammies. When I was little we opened one present on Christmas Eve and it was almost always a pair of Jammies. We would proudly wear our Christmas P.J.s on Christmas Eve and take the standard pictures of us olding up our presents on Christmas morning. This year we are having heat trouble. You see our 90 year old house is heated with something called steam heat. Water goes through pipes to the radiators and heats somethingy. (that's the technical term) When it does this it makes a very loud banging noise like someone is pounding on the pipes with a sledge hammer. If you've ever seen Fragel Rock and know what a pipe banger is- that's what we've got. They make loud low bangs and then high bell-like tones and once the steam comes out, they move to the next radiator. The noise combined with the extordinary price of gas out here forced us to turn our thermostat down to 60. We bought two electric heaters for the bedrooms, but it still gets nippy so Adam gave us our Christmas jammies early. Mine even have footies! We had fun cuddling and playing in our new jammies.
