Christmas Eve

Our Christmas Eve tradition of singing carols and reading "The Christmas That Almost Wasn't" continues! The kids look forward to singing carols from Grammie and Grandad's songbooks while Grandad plays guitar. The story ("The Chrismas That Almost Wasn't") is in poem form and it is a longer one, so Asher had a harder time keeping interest, but the older two tried reading a few lines here and there. I remember when my parents used to read this story to us growing up, and there were years when my brother and I wished we didn't have to read the same story again, but as an adult, I totally appreciate this constant Christmas tradition! I love that I get to share this same story with my kiddos. It should also be noted that it snowed on Christmas Eve, so we were able to have a white Christmas!

Happy Christmas Eve
