The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 24

Tue December 24, 2024 by Leave a Comment

Today our special thing was to go to the candlelight service at church. The kids love to go and Bethany said that is when it really feels like Christmas. Bethany had a solo to sing tonight – O Holy Night and Evelyn sang Happy Birthday Jesus. They both did a very nice job. At the end of the service we all light our candles and stand around the church and sing carols. It’s really pretty and I always feel so happy with so many of my kids and grandkids there singing and holding and swinging those candles – I’m always worried someone will catch their hair on fire. It was a very beautiful ending to our Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 23

Mon December 23, 2024 by Leave a Comment

Today we all had a few things to do to finish up before Christmas. It was getting fairly late and we had not done our special thing. I actually had not thought of anything to do and asked the girls for a suggestion, but they could not seem to think of anything at all. I hated to not make it the entire 24 days this year. Evelyn and Liam were over and Liam said he had an idea and I was open to any suggestions. Liam said we should turn off all the lights in the house and just sit with nothing but Christmas tree lights and the cottage lights and the candles in the windows. So, I figured why not – it was something we had never done and it was simple. So, we turned every light in the house off and just sat with the trees shinning and the cottages. It was really quiet and pretty. Then we started talking and everyone seemed relaxed and ready to join in and we talked about things we had never done at Christmas before, but would like to do – like going to Williamsburg, or traveling to a place with snow or visiting a small decorated town and walking around. It was fun and this time when we talked everyone seemed to have ideas. We only sat and talked about 20-25 minutes, but it was a really nice special thing and we can thank Liam for his idea.
