Christmas Eve traditions

We can't help ourselves, we usually open up at least one gift early.
Kati and Daddy pouring Santa his traditional Christmas juice. That's what Kati picks for him to drink.

Since we don't have a fireplace Aunt Gena gave us a special key last year to help Santa get in.

We hang it outside for him to find.

The best tradition is one that is carried over from when Jeffrey was a child. Every year we hear the true meaning of Christmas. Since my Daddy was here and he was the one to always read it to Jeff and his brothers when they were kids we asked him to read again. Grandma-pa (Kati's new name for him) read from his 1599 Geneva Bible. Did you know that before the King James Version the manager was called a cratch. Jeff joked, "Away in a cratch no crib for the babe"...... just doesn't have the same ring does it.
Have a Merry Christmas and take time to remember that the Christmas story doesn't end with the night He was born.
