A snowstorm laid down the perfect background for our holiday festivities. We had a wonderful home-cooked meal (my wife grew up Mennonite and she can cook!) After we ate it was time to open the presents. My children all had some input into my novel "Under the Heavens" and they got their copies today.
After the gifts were opened we all headed into the barn for our annual reading of the Christmas story.
My daughter read to us from Luke, Chapter 2Karm and Coke ate hay, playing the part of animals in the nativity scene.
We have found this to be a meaningful tradition, something about being in a stable to read the story makes it seem so real.
Our grandchildren wanted to try out their new sleds and we all ended up having a great time watching and many of us took a turn at it too!
