So one of our Christmas Eve Traditions is to make a fire in the back yard and roast hot dogs and marshmallows. This started because on a few trips to Canada for Christmas we went to Waterton on Christmas Eve and played in the snow and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows.
We now do the roasting but continually are wishing for some snow...which truthfully will probably never happen.
In past years, the boys of the family go out back and dig a pit. This year I kept my eyes open for a fire pit we could buy and luckily I found one. The boys were aware but we didn't tell C but saved it for our Christmas present to him.
Well, when the time or rather day, came to start digging K almost melted with my insistence that C wait to Christmas to open his gift. Finally I told him to ask C if he wanted to open a gift today and after realizing what the commotion was about he agreed and opened the fire pit. K was so relieved to not have to dig a pit.
