We've tried to create a tradition of decorating the Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving (even though Thanksgiving isn't celebrated here in Uganda). It's always fun! We look forward to it with excitement. This Christmas season we had an extra child in the house, one of the students at school who was in her long vacation from primary school waiting to join high school. It was fun to have her with us too!
And of course the kids look forward to Christmas morning with much anticipation. Christmas has become one of my favorite holidays. I love watching the kids open their gifts, seeing their excitement, and then tearing into the toys.
This year (although I neglected to take photos) we also did an advent calendar. We read a story each night leading up to the birth of Christ. Each story had a color sheet to go with it, which was fun since my girls all like to color!
(not real sure ho Joelee got out of her Christmas church dress so fast???)
