Make room for a few minutes of quiet one-on-one time with your wife before bed on Christmas Eve. Ideally, make it the last thing you do, and it very much needs to happen after the kids are in bed.
Sit by the tree, the fire, or a window overlooking the world under a blanket of snow, and snuggle up together with a cup of tea or hot chocolate. Share thoughts of Christmas’ past, both when you were together as a couple and when you were growing up. Tell her what a wonderful gift she has been to you. Let the quiet and the memories wrap around you in warmth.
Plan now, to make sure it happens. And take care of the drinks and any snacks so she doesn’t have to.

We are planning to sit in front of the fireplace and the Christmas Tree drinking hot chocolate. But first we are going to drive around neighborhoods looking at lights on houses and yards and retire to our family room to watch Charlie Brown’s Christmas. I think she wants to plan something very special before we go to bed….
This is the first Christmas Eve in 44 years that will not have children around on Christmas Eve (we will see them on Christmas Day (and we were an instant family with a child from a first marriage our first Christmas). It is like we are re-kindling our marriage as newlyweds.
