Christmas Eve Traditions

We celebrated with our homemade soups Potato, Tortilla,and Chicken Noodle,fresh rolls, plus lots of goodies. We celebrated Jesus Birthday with a cake made from cupcakes.
We played the DVD Joy to the World, for the Nativity this year and didn't dress up.The first time in all my life time, we didn't act out the Nativity.Then we played the chimes,a wonderful tradition, where everyone holds a lead pipe cut different lengths to make the different notes.We hit the pipe with a really large nail to hear the sounds. Yes,we had music to follow.It was enjoyed by the youngest and oldest.
We played the game Mr.& Mrs.Wright, where I read the story and you pass the gift left or right when you hear it in the story.It was fun the children did it first and did quite well keeping up with the story.Then the Adults tried it. Aftger we did the White Elephant gift exchange.I ended yo with a extra large remote control for the TV.Ron had a set of push up weights.
