My family celebrates Christmas Eve together instead of Christmas Day. It's been our tradition since my Dad was a kid and when my grandparents were kids. Probably even before that. Every year my Mom cooks a huge dinner and we eat before we go to midnight mass at church. Every year it's pretty much the same dinner: 11 fish dishes. It's a Lithuanian thing, if you're wondering why so much fish. For me however, I can't eat fish. I'm allergic to seafood and I don't eat fish. Instead, I ate keish and potatoes (as seen in this photo). It was still delish!
My Christmas Eve look came with some last minute skirt shopping that day and doing my nails right before dinner. And of course I added a bright red lip.
My fiance was in charge of getting all the presents from under the tree. Surprisingly he was excited to crawl on his belly and get them all! He's just the best, don't cha think?
I have a love for elephants, there is no denying it. I have counted that I have roughly 52 elephants in my room, not including clothes, jewelry, shoes and accessories. These lovely elephant slippers have now been added to my collection. Thanks, Mom!
For my Christmas Eve nails I used some magnetix my sorority sister gave me, but I didn't use it in the magnetic way. I also made my own diamond specs by my cuticle with a Sally Hansen silver polish. I've had it forever and it's still kickin'!
These next few photos are of my *family and I and of course me showing off my outfit. I was so proud of myself that I found the skirt on the day of. And it was only $10! (So I bought four of them.)
*My Dad is not pictured because he was not fully dressed yet.
