Twas The Night Before Christmas

We have attended Christmas Eve services at First Baptist Church for as long as I can remember. They used to have these absolutely adorable Christmas pageants. The pastor would read the Christmas story while the youth group still-posed each scene. It was very cheesy, but charming in its simplicity. One year I played a shepherd and another year brother Steve played a wise man. The service has changed over the years to a much more spiritually focused presentation. We took the boys to their first Christmas Eve service last year when they were just 20 days old, showing them off to all our friends. This second year, they played in the nursery and missed Granddad’s first year singing carols in the choir. After dinner he serenaded them with his favorite Christmas songs.
