Last night, Christmas Eve...Merry Christmas, Jeanne! Last night, Christmas Eve, we attended our church's 5 PM service, in which the children lead us in carols, Scripture readings, and their own "performance" songs. Our pastor does a one-man-show portraying someone from the Christmas story; this year, he was the guy who took the last room at the inn (fictional, yes, but clever!). The service was packed, the children were excited, the joy was abundant. Afterward, several of us gathered at our friends' house for the most scrumptious buffet (our friend trained as a chef -- AND it's her birthday party, too!) and lovely conversation. Then home to bed.<br /><br />I loved reading about your Christmas Eve traditions.<br /><br />Blessings!

It's 7:19 ...It sounds like it (was) wonderful. It's 7:19 a.m. here, but according to the online clock that makes it 11:19 p.m. in Melbourne, so I guess your Christmas Eve is just about over! Since it's Saturday morning here, we still need to go out and do a grocery shop since we are hosting tomorrow's dinner and need to pick up the fresh stuff ("No tinned, mind you," says the Water Rat). And there are always a few chores left to do. But tonight we go out for Chinese food before church--looking forward to that, and to a special family time afterward around the Advent wreath.<br /><br />It's doubtful that we'll have a white Christmas this year, even in Ontario. But you never know.Mama Squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941211100125966917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-21509881266346516952011-12-24T20:57:37.453+11:002011-12-24T20:57:37.453+11:00I'm a lurker but I just loved this post! So sw...I'm a lurker but I just loved this post! So sweet & homemake-y! It seems to me that my children and I read about about the almond in the pudding last year but I'm forgetting the title of the book! The girl ends up secretly giving it to her injured brother? or something...it was such a sweet story! :)<br />Merry Christmas!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11291951073853426272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-60519955785526204382011-12-24T20:26:28.318+11:002011-12-24T20:26:28.318+11:00I love it!

I wonder how many more years Jemimah's outfit will last, you could always add on to the hem?! I would like to live in your kitchen each Christmas, sounds too delicious. We are all "camping" in the lounge room tonight (the three big kids, Simon, myself and the dog). I hope sleep happens. Love to all of you this Christmas Jeanne. xoNicole Frenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01242325212248267379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-74410879156048001642011-12-24T19:44:38.153+11:002011-12-24T19:44:38.153+11:00Absolutely delightful.

The girls went out for a bike ride with their Dad and Pa leaving me by myself to wrap and make those last minute things.<br /><br />Now we are preparing to put out food for Santa and his reindeer and our sacks to hold some special gifts.<br /><br />Happy DayCeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038238586812568949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-10082228374304429982011-12-24T18:23:51.385+11:002011-12-24T18:23:51.385+11:00Wonderful festive traditions...love it! xxxWonderful festive traditions...love it! xxxSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11507551793424616654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-57568741880613402332011-12-24T15:05:31.034+11:002011-12-24T15:05:31.034+11:00That sounds delightful!

Milk & Cookies white chocolate blondies, gluten free bread stars (for jam) and twists (with sundried tomato pesto), and gluten free coconut and jam slice. Mmmm! <br /><br />Games of Guess Who and Chess, stories, giggling and wrestling ... we're all so happy Daddy is on holidays.<br /><br />Have a delightful time with your family :)Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04696049648997719529noreply@blogger.com
