Christmas Eve Festivities

Tonight, my family (Mom, Dad, Meredith, Corey, Colin, Brenna and I ) went to Lancaster to go to church with my grandparents, aunt, uncle and cousins. The service was wonderful. The children of the church helped to tell the Christmas story. There was lots of singing and a candlelight service at the end. It was a great way to remember the reason for Christmas!
Then we went to my grandparents' house for our traditional Christmas Eve meal. They ate oyster stew (BLECCCCH!) and Grandmother made chicken salad for those of us who do not eat that disgusting substance. Grandmother had also made peanut brittle, fudge, and fruitcake cookies (ew).
We watched the Claymation Christmas special from the 1980s. Yes, the one with the California Raisins. We love that show. And of course, 24 hours of A Christmas Story began at 8:00. I took some fun family pictures. You know the kind...when you hold the camera out in front of your face and hope for the best. I'll post a few of those.








Tomorrow is a busy day. I'd better be getting to bed.
Merry Christmas!!!
