[Christmas Eve.]

Just a quick glimpse at Christmas Eve at la casa Milan...

Things you (don't really) need to know:

• In our annual Nativity play, I'm always, always, Mary. Obviously.
• Mary definitely wore a red cape exactly like the one I'm wearing. And baby Jesus definitely resembled a miniature Santa upon exiting the holy womb.
• Since high school, I've always imported our favorite Jewish individual, Daniel (affectionately known as D-Hor, even to my grandma), to be my Joseph.
• We also have him hang up our Star of David Christmas tree ornaments.
• He loves this.
• Normally, we all receive matching (or at least coordinated) Christmas jammies on Christmas Eve.
• This year, we received matching red staplers.
• We didn't love this.
