Christmas Eve :: I’m behind on my blog posts. Every other day in December I would say “I’m gonna blog about this…and that”, but alas it’s January and I only posted ONE THING in December.

So, how would you like to hear about my Christmas Eve? Well, you’re looking at it. We have this thing in my family – none of us really love amusement parks – stinky people and long lines, but have you been on Christmas Eve in Southern California? Changes everything. Beautiful 70 degree weather, no lines. My brothers crammed 26 roller coaster rides into our 5 hour visit to Magic Mountain. I couldn’t quite handle that many in my old age without my head exploding(seriously I started to black out on one ride), but I’d say I still got my money’s worth.

Pre-Magic Mountain we had a breakfast of chicken biscuits from Chick-fil-a (because they have them in California now!) Post magic mountain we had waffle fries and chicken nuggets with Polynesian sauce from Chick-fil-a. I know they’ve gotten some well-deserved bad press this year, but their chicken is so good. I also know its disgusting that I ate there twice in one day, nonetheless it was pretty great.

And after our day of chicken and roller coasters we scampered home in time for church and our traditional Christmas Eve lasagna dinner. Why we have lasagna on Christmas Eve I do not know, but we always do.
