First, we participated in the Nativity play at church. H13 read the narration. S10 was a wiseman and a shepherd. M8 was the angel. I wrote and directed the program. If I do say so myself, it was lovely.
After church, we enjoyed our normal Christmas Adam activities. Each year we take this day and celebrate Christmas Adam, the day before Christmas Eve because as everyone knows Adam came before Eve. Yes, it's a little goofy but we love it. Here is a post I wrote several years ago about our Christmas Adam tradition.
Today we shopped at a new Dollar Tree. The kids are older and we just handed them their money and turned them loose. They completed their shopping in less than half an hour. They wrapped their own gifts without help. Shane asked if plastic grocery bags were acceptable wrapping materials. Nice try but, no, they aren't. After our shopping was complete we enjoyed lunch at Applebee's, laughing and talking through it. Our waitress was chatty and fun. Our food was good. The company was excellent.
A successful tradition continues.
