Christmas Eve


We have several Christmas traditions that we enjoy over the Christmas holiday. One of my favorites is attending the Christmas Eve Candlelight service at our church. This year we all agreed it was one of the prettiest services we had ever been to. The service was at 5:00 and our 5,000 seat auditorium was standing room only. They even started seating people in the choir loft (since it was empty). It was a beautiful sight to see all those candles. The tradition of going to the Christmas Eve service and ending the service with Silent Night is what starts Christmas for me. This year was no different. I am thankful that I live in a country where I can freely worship the Lord and celebrate our savior's birth.
We started a new tradition this Christmas with TJ and Tyler. We allowed them to open one gift on Christmas Eve. Their one gift was new Christmas pajamas. The boys looked SO cute dressed in their Santa pajamas.
