Christmas Eve Traditions

My humans have a few traditions for Christmas Eve: they always drink hot chocolate and eat something chocolaty (this year it was black forest cheesecake cupcakes). They always exchange a book and read the book. I like this because I can lay on my human while she reads. They always watch a movie called Make the Yultide Gay.

This year, my human received Baking Across America by B. Dylan Hollis (she LOVES baking and watching his content), and she gave human number 2 We Don't Hear Crickets Anymore by Kel Byron (he LOVES this author, you'll be seeing more about her soon).

The movie is really sweet, and all about accepting yourself as you are (and dealing with eccentric family at Christmas).
