                                          Playing the Chimes and singing Christmas Carols

The night before Christmas we spent at Daniel's home enjoying our family Christmas traditions. Where we had a visit from Santa, who gave out gifts for the little ones. They were so excited, little Max was hopping up and down, waiting for his turn to see Santa. He said the Reindeer are on the roof,Grandma. We watched the New Christmas Carol,movie with Jim Carry in it.

                                         We dinged the chimes and sang Christmas carols.

We exchanged white elephant gifts.and bid our love and goodbyes before leaving. Another successful Christmas Eve with our family,who are all the most precious to us. On Christmas day we slept in, no one to wake us. Then we went to deliver fresh Rolls and Jam to our neighbors and friends. At 3 p.m. it was off to have a family dinner of Baked Ham and Potatoes and Green Bean Casserole at our Grandson's home. We had a great time visiting the family. It was fun watching our Greatgrand children playing with their new toys. The weather was wonderful a mild 65 degrees. We could have had a picnic outside. Another year has passed and we welcome the New Year.  Merry Christmas to all and a  Happy New Year.

A Night in Bethlehem

What a gorgeous night with a beautiful sunset, where we took a walk to Bethlehem. As we entered the gate, we signed the register, and paid our Taxes with canned food donations. We were dressed in Biblical attire. We enjoyed feasting at the market place of pita bread and spicy hummus. Then at the Galilee Grill we enjoyed barbecued chicken pieces and grilled veggies on a stick. Then off to Ruth's Orchard to enjoy some mandarin orange pieces and mixed grains salad. Stopped by Jacobs Well for some grape juice to drink. Then off to the Magi's Booth of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh, also rock candy treats. For dessert it was Bath Sheba's Bakery, where we ate white cake with pomegranate seeds on it. The Nativity program was put on by the youth and the Primary children. They used a real donkey. It was a wonderful night the weather was warm. A good time was had by all who attended.
