Our Family Christmas

In keeping with tradition, our family celebrated Christmas early since we would be spending the actual day with extended family.

 

The day was pretty normal until evening. Daddy came home from work, and the festivities started!



We began with Christmas dinner!

We enjoyed cranberry chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, rolls, artichoke dip with crackers, and sparkling grape juice.

We had all manner of treats for dessert! There were Ritz cracker treats, no-bake cookies, toasted almond truffles, cracker brittle, Knick Knack Noels, York Peppermint brownies, Peanut Blossoms, pretzel treats, and cookies baked by our friend at church.

 

Once we finished eating, we commenced our celebration of advent with singing and Bible reading. Then it was time for gifts!

We kept our gift exchange to a minimum this year (intentionally) but that doesn’t mean it was any less fun! We are so grateful for the great gift God blessed us with: the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ! That is why we celebrate!
