My little sister (not so little anymore at almost 23) and I have a tradition that goes back at least 15 years - sleeping in the same room on christmas eve, waking earlyearlyearly just to run downstairs, dump the stockings, check out the goodies, fill them back up, and go wake our parents up before 6am.
Yes, i am almost 25, and no, it does not get old.
During christmas day, we lounge and snack on peanut butter fudge that mom makes, and watch three movies - order doesn't matter - Sister Act (one or two, either is fine), Wayne's World, and White Christmas. (Added Christmas Bonus Points for unintentionally catching one of the Brady Bunch Christmas shows! Amaaaazing.)
When we were little, we used to dance around the house and pretend we were the stars, faux-sisters Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen. I was Rosemary (she was the older sister, obviously more wise) and Katie was always Vera-Ellen (she was younger, and both were thin as a rail - sidenote, Vera-Ellen had the smallest waist in Hollywood at 21". Eep!)
...After so many years of watching this movie, I think I understand where my love of day-dresses and shirtdresses stems from. I still have a closet full and am slowing parting with a few (check out the shop from time to time, www.heandshe.etsy.com)

Aw, I love this song! I just sang along. Shh.
