Christmas Eve
I can't believe it's almost here!
Today we went to church and heard the children's, youth, and adult choirs sing a beautiful 'O Holy Night' arrangement. (Listen to Pavarotti sing it now... O Holy Night (Minuit Chrétien) by Luciano Pavarotti) Now, we are going to head out to Cracker Barrel for lunch with my aunt and uncle. Then at 5:30 we are having a candlelight service at church, which is a great Christmas tradition that is just lovely. Finally, we will then head to my Grandma's for a great meal and just a great time with family.
What are you doing today?

1 More Day!!
"Noël est là,
Ce joyeux Noël, des cadeaux plein les bras,
Qui réchauffe nos coeurs et apporte la joie,
Jour des plus beaux souvenirs,
Plus beau jour de l'année."
Washington Irving

“Christmas is there,
This Merry Christmas, gifts full arms,
Who heats our hearts and brings the joy,
Day of the most beautiful memories,
More beautiful day of the year."
Washington Irving

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Hyde
Christmas traditions are great fun. One small tradition we have is to open one present at a time. The whole family watches and comments before we go on to the next. We also include lots of wine on Christmas Eve when we exchange gifts.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
