I own this photo Do you open any presents on Christmas Eve?   On Christmas Eve its a tradition for me and my mum to open a present from each other and its always matching PJ'S. Every year since I was 15 we have kept this tradition and thats the only present that I will open on Christmas eve. What holiday traditions are you looking forward to most this year? On Christmas Eve we always watch its a wonderful life as a family. Its been a tradition for about 3 years,my family will gather in the living room with popcorn and hot chocolate and watch the movie.

One as a carry on which I split the clothes in half and check my smaller bag so liquids can go in there (that's a different blogpost) Tip 2 : Using little bags for my underwear and sometimes  putting my tops that aren't so bulky at the bottom in a ziplock bag as it keeps them fresh and if something explode in your bag it isnt gonna get on your stuff. Tip 3 : Packing stage. If you...
