Our little family has the tradition of having a special dinner on Christmas Eve, Randy and I read about the birth of Jesus and like to reflect on the importance of Christ in our home. At midnight when it’s officially Christmas we open our stockings. We have being talking a lot of what traditions we want to establish for us and in the future. Our families growing up had different traditions. We want to take the best of each family and make our own. I love traditions, the consistency of doing something every year and making it special. I usually get irritated after weeks of holidays commercials on TV, and all the buy this and give that. I dislike Santa so much that by the 15th of December I can’t take more of the Ho-Ho-Ho. I love Christmas but hate the charade people make out of it. I love having Christmas Eve with my husband, It helps me to receive the 25th with a joyful spirit. This year Randy’s parents wanted to join us for Christmas Eve. We had our late dinner and talk about the birth of Christ. Randy and I went for a walk at the Bronson Park. All the lights were beautiful.
Christmas Day we had a really nice evening with the family. We went to Randy’s parents for a delicious dinner and linger.
Nuestra pequeña familia celebra la Navidad en Noche Buena.
Tenemos nuestra cena especial y con Randy leemos la historia del nacimiento de Jesús.
Nos gusta reflexionar en la importancia de Cristo en nuestro hogar. A las 12 de
la noche cuando es Navidad hacemos intercambio de Botitas. Hemos estado
hablando bastante acerca de las tradiciones que queremos establecer para
nosotros y el futuro. Nuestras familias tienen un estilo diferente de celebrar
Navidad. Queremos copiar las mejores tradiciones de cada familia y hacerlas
nuestras. Me encantan las tradiciones familiares, y la consistencia de hacer
algo todos los años y esforzarse por hacerlo especial.
Generalmente me pongo de mal humor después
de ver tanto comerciales de navidad en la tele. Compre esto y regale esto otro.
Me carga el viejo pascuero, ahi por el 15 de diciembre todos los Jo-Jo-Jo me
tienen chata. Me encanta Navidad, pero me carga el circo que la gente hace. Por
eso me gusta tener nuestra pequeña celebración con Randy. Me ayuda a recibir la
Navidad con un espíritu de alegría. Este año los papas de Randy quisieron
acompañarnos en nuestra cena de Noche Buena. Tuvimos nuestra cena tarde en la
noche y leímos en la biblia el nacimiento de Jesús. Después Randy y yo fuimos a
visitar un parque que decoraron con luces. Las luces estuvieron muy lindas.
El 25 fuimos a la casa de los papas de
Randy. Tuvimos una fantástica cena y pasamos la tarde con la familia.

Great pictures. I love that part of Christmas...beautiful lights, nativities, everyone merry! We have a park near us here. They have different churches and businesses that decorate their little spot in the park. It was great seeing how each individual participant chose to decorate their area. Our branch here put up a replica of the Washington DC temple and decorated an area around it. It was beautiful. FAMILIES CAN BE TOGETHER FOREVER. Whomever it was made the replica of the temple was very talented. It looked just like it on the hill and the lights shining...it was beautiful! There was a live nativity there as well...not all the time but certain times during the two weeks or so they were set up. It was wonderful. They had live sheep, goats, a calf and a donkey...there was spiritual Christmas music playing. Very very nice.
Well, thanks so much for sharing your pictures and Christmas happenings. We sure miss you both. Glad all is well.
Cherie and Jeff
